  • Patent number: 11501985
    Abstract: A low surface tension liquid supply unit supplies a low surface tension liquid onto the upper surface of a substrate to form a liquid film of the low surface tension liquid on the substrate. An opening is formed in a central region of the liquid film of an organic solvent. The liquid film is removed from the upper surface of the substrate by expanding the opening. While a low surface tension liquid is supplied from the low surface tension liquid supply unit, to the liquid film, toward a liquid landing point set outside the opening, the liquid landing point is moved so as to follow the expansion of the opening. While an facing surface of a drying head faces a dry region set inside the opening to form a low-humidity space between the facing surface and the dry region, with the low-humidity space having a humidity lower than that outside the space, the dry region and the facing surface are moved so as to follow the expansion of the opening.

  • Publication number: 20220165599
    Abstract: In a substrate processing apparatus in which a substrate is transported into multiple chambers by using multiple transport mechanisms, while a first transport unit is responsible for the transport of the substrate into the first chamber and the transport of the substrate out from the second chamber, the second transport unit is responsible for the transfer of the substrate from the first chamber to the second chamber. With respect to a transfer zone which is a transport route of the substrate from the first chamber to the second chamber, the first transport unit is arranged above and the second transport unit is arranged below. Since entry into the transfer zone is exclusively allowed, the two transport units can operate individually while avoiding mutual interference.

  • Publication number: 20220153289
    Abstract: A dialog confirmation unit in a vehicle communication device calculates the deceleration of a vehicle on the basis of vehicle speeds, when the vehicle speed at an operation start time and the vehicle speed at a time when a certain time has elapsed since the operation start time have been obtained by a vehicle information acquisition unit. Next, the dialog confirmation unit calculates a change in distance on the basis of distances when a distance information acquisition unit has obtained the distance between the vehicle and an object in front at the operation start time and the distance at the time when a certain time has elapsed since the operation start time. Next, the dialog confirmation unit selects a dialog that corresponds to the deceleration and the change in distance, from among a plurality of dialogs.

  • Patent number: 11232551
    Abstract: A micro camera is placed in an appropriate image capturing position therefor on the basis of a center-to-center distance depending on a rotational angle of a holding table. Even in the case where the center C0 of a holding surface and the center C1 of a wafer are displaced out of alignment with each other, allowing a position in X-axis directions of an outer circumference of the wafer to vary as the holding table rotates, a control unit can make an image capturing range of the micro camera follow the varying position of the outer circumference of the wafer. Therefore, the image capturing range of the micro camera can be determined with ease. Both a surface of the wafer and the outer circumference of the wafer can be inspected simply when two cameras are moved along the X-axis directions by a single X-axis moving mechanism.
