  • Publication number: 20240096653
    Abstract: According to one embodiment a substrate treatment apparatus incorporates, into a frozen film, a contaminant adhered to a substrate surface by freezing a liquid film on the surface. The apparatus includes a placement part configured to rotate the substrate, a liquid supply part configured to supply a liquid via a nozzle to the frozen film including the contaminant, a moving part configured to move the nozzle parallel to the substrate surface, and a controller configured to control a rotation of the substrate by the placement part, a supply of the liquid by the liquid supply part, and a movement of the nozzle by the moving part. The controller rotates the substrate by controlling the placement part, supplies the liquid to the frozen film by controlling the liquid supply part, and moves the nozzle from a perimeter edge vicinity to a rotation center vicinity of the substrate by controlling the moving part.

  • Patent number: 11145887
    Abstract: A fuel cell stack includes a cell stack body and a terminal plate and an insulator disposed at an end of the cell stack body in a stacking direction. The cell stack body includes a plurality of stacked power generation cells. Each of the power generation cells includes a membrane electrode assembly and a separator. The terminal plate is disposed between the cell stack body and the insulator. Elastic structure which elastically presses the terminal plate toward the cell stack body is provided between the insulator and the terminal plate.

  • Patent number: 10964968
    Abstract: A fuel cell stack at least includes a first dummy cell provided at one end of a stack body formed by stacking a plurality of power generation cells in a stacking direction. A dummy assembly of the first dummy cell includes a first electrically conductive porous body, a second electrically conductive porous body, and a third electrically conductive porous body, which are stacked in this order. A first joint layer is interposed between the first electrically conductive porous body and the second electrically conductive porous body to join the first and second electrically conductive porous bodies together, and a second joint layer is interposed between the second electrically conductive porous body and the third electrically conductive porous body to join the second and third electrically conductive porous bodies together. The first joint layer and the second joint layer are provided at different positions in the stacking direction.
