  • Publication number: 20240102239
    Abstract: A fibrous body processing apparatus includes a humidifying unit, a first processing unit, a second processing unit, a first supply passage, a second supply passage, and a returning passage. The humidifying unit generates humidified air. The first processing unit processes a material that contains fibers. The second processing unit processes the material that was processed at the first processing unit. Humidified air is supplied from the humidifying unit to the first processing unit through the first supply passage. Humidified air is supplied from the first processing unit to the second processing unit, together with the material, through the second supply passage. The returning passage includes an upstream-side end portion and a downstream-side end portion. Humidified air is returned from the second supply passage or the second processing unit to the humidifying unit through the returning passage.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a silicon carbide semiconductor device includes the following steps. In a silicon carbide substrate including a silicon carbide single-crystal substrate and a silicon carbide epitaxial film provided on the silicon carbide single-crystal substrate, a reference mark serving as a reference of two dimensional position coordinates is formed. After forming the reference mark, at least one of polishing or cleaning is performed on a reference mark formation surface of the silicon carbide substrate. Position coordinates of a defect present in the silicon carbide substrate are specified based on the reference mark. A device active region is formed in the silicon carbide substrate. Position coordinates of the device active region are specified based on the reference mark. A pass/fail judgement of the device active region is made by associating the position coordinates of the defect with the position of the device active region.
