  • Patent number: 6544488
    Abstract: A predetermined gas, which differs from a cleaning gas and is not required to be decomposed for evacuation, is introduced into a film deposition chamber provided upstream of a main process, wherein a cleaning gas for cleaning the film deposition chamber is introduced into the film deposition chamber, and plasma is developed to decompose the cleaning gas, thereby cleaning up the film deposition chamber. Plasma is developed before introduction of the cleaning gas. Alternatively, subsequent to the main process, a predetermined gas, which differs from the cleaning gas and is not required to be decomposed for evacuation, is introduced into the film deposition chamber, and plasma development is continued from the main process. A cleaning gas may be evacuated after substantially totally decomposed.

  • Patent number: 6344130
    Abstract: A method for generating highly concentrated ozone gas by adsorbing ozone gas generated by an ozonizer with an absorbent within an adsorption column and then separating highly concentrated ozone gas from the adsorption column. Three adsorption columns are arranged in parallel. Each of the adsorption columns is controlled to repeat four steps of an ozone gas adsorbing step, a stabilizing and pressurizing step, an ozone gas desorbing step and a cooling down step. Each of the ozone gas adsorbing step and the ozone gas desorbing step has operation time set twice the operation time of each of the stabilizing and pressurizing step and the cooling down step. An ozone gas concentrating unit comprises three adsorption columns which are set to operate one after another by ⅓ cycle lag. Highly concentrated ozone gas separated at the desorbing step of each adsorption column is once stored in an ozone gas storage vessel.

  • Patent number: 4412852
    Abstract: An apparatus for producing dry ice blocks includes an upper, charging mold having an outlet opening in its lower end and positioned in spaced relationship above a lower, press mold having an inlet opening in its upper end. The charging mold contains a slidable precompression piston and the press mold has a slidable press piston, the two pistons respectively being connected to actuators. A shutter assembly is positioned between the two openings, and includes a shutter having a forward extension which defines a recess therebeneath. The shutter is moved forwardly and backwardly by actuator means from a position wherein both openings are closed, to a position wherein, both openings are open, to a position wherein only the outlet opening is closed. Thereafter, the press piston forms the charge into a block of dry ice. The shutter is then shifted to the outlet only closed position, and the press piston elevates the block into the recess.
