  • Patent number: 7758341
    Abstract: A utility apparatus supplies a liquid to a substrate processing apparatus having a plurality of blocks of heat treatment apparatus groups. A plurality of supply ports supplies the liquid for each vertical block, horizontal block, or heat treatment apparatus. A plurality of recovery ports collects the liquid supplied to each vertical block, horizontal block, or heat treatment apparatus. Detecting mechanisms are provided respectively in the plurality of recovery ports to detect a temperature of the recovered liquid. A control mechanism controls based on detection information of the detecting mechanisms.

  • Publication number: 20080078526
    Abstract: A utility apparatus of a substrate processing apparatus includes an introducing mechanism to introduce a gas to a first space portion inside the utility apparatus, a cooling mechanism that cools the gas introduced to inside the utility apparatus to a predetermined temperature, and a second space portion disposed in a position above the first space portion to introduce the gas from the first space portion via an opening. A heating mechanism is provided in the second space portion to heat the gas introduced to the second space portion to a predetermined temperature. A humidity adjusting mechanism adjusts the humidity of the gas heated by the heating mechanism, and a plurality of supply paths is provided in a position above the second space portion to send the gas collectively to the substrate processing apparatus.
