Abstract: A laser annealing apparatus according to an embodiment includes a laser light source, an annealing optical system, a linear irradiation region along a Y-direction, a moving mechanism configured to change a relative position of the irradiation region with respect to the substrate along an X-direction, an illumination light source configured to generate illumination light for illuminating the substrate along a third direction, and a detector configured to detect detection light reflected, in a fourth direction, on the substrate illuminated by the illumination light so as to photograph an annealed part of the substrate in a linear field of view along the Y-direction. In a YZ-plane view, the third direction is inclined from the vertical direction and the fourth direction is inclined from the vertical direction.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a method of detection of a touch contact by a sensor including a first step of comparison of a voltage with a first voltage threshold; and a second step of comparison of the voltage with a second voltage threshold, the second step being implemented if the first voltage threshold has been reached within a duration shorter than a first duration threshold, the second voltage threshold being higher than the first voltage threshold.

Abstract: A positioning table device which includes a flat table supported so as to be displaceable both angularly and linearly in a plane. Three pushers having end faces abutting respective rollers are provided such that linear movements of the pushers in a plane parallel to the plane of the table in different reciprocal directions allows exact positioning and rotational movements of the table with any arbitrary position on the table as the center of rotation. In the preferred embodiments, the rollers are rotatable about axes of rotation perpendicular to the plane of the table and two of the end faces are parallel, the third being perpendicular thereto.
