Abstract: A plasma processing apparatus includes a stage disposed in a processing chamber for mounting a wafer, a plasma generation chamber disposed above the processing chamber for plasma generation using process gas, a plate member having multiple introduction holes, made of a dielectric material, disposed above the stage and between the processing chamber and the plasma generation chamber, and a lamp disposed around the plate member for heating the wafer. The plasma processing apparatus further includes an external IR light source, an emission fiber arranged in the stage, that outputs IR light from the external IR light source toward a wafer bottom, and a light collection fiber for collecting IR light from the wafer. Data obtained using only IR light from the lamp is subtracted from data obtained also using IR light from the external IR light source during heating of the wafer. Thus, a wafer temperature is determined.

Abstract: A strain wave gearing has a wave generator provided with a plurality of rollers mounted between an ellipsoidal outer peripheral surface of a plug and an inner peripheral surface of an externally toothed gear. The plug is formed with recesses along the ellipsoidal outer peripheral surface. The recesses open in a first end surface of the plug facing toward a diaphragm of the externally toothed gear. The radial rigidity of the plug is relatively low in the side having the first end surface in the direction of a plug axis. When viewed along the direction of the plug axis, the respective rollers can be brought into linear contact with the inner peripheral surface of the externally toothed gear at positions on the long axis (Lmax) of the elliptically-flexed externally toothed gear, so as not to occur one-sided contact state.

Abstract: A push-pull solenoid is provided with a cylindrical guide member that is fixed to a case. A circular outer peripheral surface of a plunger is in contact with a friction guide surface formed on a circular inner peripheral surface of the guide member, and slides along the friction guide surface. Frictional force due to contact with the friction guide surface is always acting on the plunger, so it is possible to suppress impact-like contact of the plunger with an object to be manipulated during suctioning, and vibration and noise caused thereby. Moreover, over-recovery and falling-out of the plunger after suction is released can also be prevented.
