Patent number: 11961744Abstract: In a chamber, first processing is performed as preliminary processing. After the first processing has been finished, the temperature in a predetermined target region in the chamber is measured with a thermographic camera. Then, whether or not to start second processing on a substrate is determined in accordance with the acquired measured temperature information. If it is determined as a result that the second processing can be started, the second processing is performed. In this case, the second processing on the substrate can be started, with the temperature of the target region in the chamber having reached its stability. Accordingly, the second processing can be performed uniformly on a plurality of substrates. That is, it is possible to reduce variations in processing caused by temperature environments in the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: SCREEN Holdings Co., Ltd.Inventors: Eiji Fukatsu, Koji Hashimoto, Hiroyuki Fujiki, Masafumi Inoue

Patent number: 11442434Abstract: A parameter design assistance device (2) includes storage (24) and a controller (25). The storage (24) stores therein a recipe for controlling a substrate processing device (81). The controller (25) acquires one or more level values for each of control factors. The level values indicate conditions according to which the substrate processing device (1) is to process a substrate (11). The controller (25) generates, through statistical technique, combination information representing combinations of the level values acquired. The controller (25) creates an evaluation recipe for each of the combinations of the level values based on the combination information and the recipe stored in the storage (24). When the evaluation recipe includes a parameter corresponding to a control factor, the controller (25) sets a corresponding level value for the control factor as a parameter value of the parameter.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2018Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Inventor: Masafumi Inoue
