  • Publication number: 20220411929
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes: a chamber; and a processing gas supply unit connected to the chamber via a processing gas supply flow path and configured to supply a processing gas. The processing gas supply unit includes a raw material cartridge that includes a raw material tank that accommodates a porous member containing a metal-organic framework adsorbed with gas molecules of a raw material of the processing gas; a main body configured to communicate the raw material tank and the processing gas supply flow path with each other when the raw material cartridge is attached; and a desorption mechanism configured to desorb the gas molecules of the raw material of the processing gas and allow the gas molecules to flow out as the processing gas to the processing gas supply flow path while the raw material cartridge is attached to the main body.

  • Patent number: 10745873
    Abstract: A work vehicle allowing a simplified operation to open and close a shutter in a simple configuration is provided. The shutter can be disposed alternatively at a first position at which the shutter protrudes forward from a lower end of a blade or at a second position at which the shutter is farther away from the lower end than at the first position. The controller is configured to receive an input of an operation instruction from an input operation unit for moving the shutter from the second position to the first position, to cause the shutter to move from the second position to the first position. After a lapse of a prescribed time period since the shutter is moved to the first position, the controller causes the shutter to move from the first position to the second position.

  • Patent number: 9349584
    Abstract: A method for depositing a film is provided. In the method, an object to be processed is accommodated in a process chamber, and an insulating film made of a polymer thin film is deposited on a surface of the object to be processed by supplying a first source gas composed of an acid anhydride and a second source gas composed of a diamine into the process chamber that is evacuated. Next, the insulating film is modified so as to have a barrier function by stopping the supply of the second source gas into the process chamber and continuously supplying the first source gas into the process chamber.

  • Publication number: 20150214088
    Abstract: Disclosed is a pickup method in which a first suction unit is caused to approach and come into contact with a chip adhered to an adhesive sheet, and a second suction unit which is formed with a concavity on a contact surface configured to come into contact with the adhesive sheet is caused to approach and come into contact with the adhesive sheet in such a manner as to be opposite to the first suction unit. The adhesive sheet is sucked by the second suction unit that is in contact with the adhesive sheet, and a fluid is injected between the adhesive sheet and the chip by an injection unit. As a result, the adhesive sheet is detached from a portion of the chip opposite to the concavity, and in the state where the chip is being sucked by the first suction unit, the first suction unit is caused to be spaced away from the adhesive sheet that is being sucked by the second suction unit. In this manner, the chip is detached and picked up from the adhesive sheet.
