Patent number: 11621185Abstract: A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus includes one or more process modules, a scheduler, and a transfer controller. A product wafer of a lot that is transferred from a load port to one of the one or more process modules is replenished such that a total number of wafers that are simultaneously processed in the one or more process modules becomes N. When an advance lot being processed and a post lot to be processed subsequent to the advance lot have a same processing condition, the scheduler creates the transfer plan to replenish with the product wafer of the post lot instead of a dummy wafer such that the transfer controller transfers the product wafer and the dummy wafer to the one or more process modules according to the created transfer plan.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2021Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: TOKYO ELECTRON LIMITEDInventors: Rintaro Takao, Naohide Ito, Hiroaki Dewa, Masayuki Kozawa

Patent number: 7373815Abstract: A thermal type air flow measuring instrument has a molded part formed by integral molding with a metal plate. A slot or opening allowing only a resin to pass through the same is formed in the metal plate in an area subjected to higher stresses. A part of the connector terminals are disposed in the vicinity of an area where the resin has a larger thickness and the temperature difference between the inside and the outside of the resin is locally increased. The injecting direction is set to prevent a weld line and a void from being generated. For the molded part with the metal plate inserted therein, the occurrence of cracks is minimized. Further, an increase of the fatigue crack growth rate is decreased.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2005Date of Patent: May 20, 2008Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi Car Engineering Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masayuki Kozawa, Shinya Igarashi, Nobuhito Hiramatsu, Naoki Saito, Hiromu Kikawa

Patent number: 7010972Abstract: The invention is intended to improve reliability of a thermal type air flow measuring instrument employing a molded part formed by integral molding together with a metal plate. A slot or opening allowing only a resin to pass through the same is formed in the metal plate in an area or thereabout subjected to higher stresses. A part of connector terminals, which is not required from the intrinsic object, is disposed in the vicinity of a area where the resin has a larger thickness and the temperature difference between the inside and the outside of the resin is locally increased. An injecting direction is set so as to prevent a weld line and a void from being generated in a combined way.
