摘要： The present invention relates to a particle measuring method for irradiating light to a surface of a substrate to scatter the light so as to measure a condition of particles on the substrate based on the scattered light. The particle measuring method according to the present invention comprises the steps of: heating a certain liquid to obtain a steam; supplying the steam onto a substrate so that a content of the steam is absorbed by each particle, while a temperature of the substrate is maintained in such a manner that the steam does not condense on the substrate; cooling the substrate before the particle dries so that the content absorbed by the particle is solidified, while preventing generation of solidified substance on regions of the surface of the substrate to which no particle adheres; and irradiating light to the substrate to scatter the light and detecting the scattered light, under a condition in which the content absorbed by the particle has been solidified.

摘要： In a substrate inspection method, it is inspected whether the metal electrode is electrically connected to the conductive film by radiating electron beams onto a surface of the substrate to detect the number of secondary electrons emitted therefrom. The method includes placing the substrate onto a mounting table; inspecting the metal electrode by radiating electron beams onto an area of the substrate including the metal electrode at a first acceleration voltage and detecting secondary electrons emitted from the metal electrode; and radiating electron beams onto an area of the substrate not including the metal electrode at a second acceleration voltage. The second acceleration voltage is set such that a difference between the number of electrons entering the insulation film and the number of secondary electrons emitted from the insulation film is smaller at the second acceleration voltage than at the first acceleration voltage.

摘要： In order to prevent particles within a unit from sticking to a substrate in a substrate processing process, an ion generator charges the particles. At the same time, a direct current voltage of the same polarity as the charged polarity of the particles is applied from a direct current power source to the substrate. In order to prevent generation of particles when producing gas plasma, a high-frequency voltage is applied to the upper and lower electrodes at multiple stages to produce plasma. In other words, at a first step, a minimum high-frequency voltage at which plasma can be ignited is applied to the upper and lower electrodes, thereby producing a minimum plasma. Thereafter, the applied voltage is increased in stages to produce predetermined plasma.

摘要： A heat treating device including a pressure detecting unit for outputting an output signal when a pressure in a heat processing furnace becomes a set value, an air release pipe having a first valve and a check valve, a differential pressure gauge shut off by a second valve in terms of pressure from the interior of the heat processing furnace, and an air feed pipe having a third valve. One ends of each of the air release pipe and the air feed pipe is connected respectively to the heat processing furnace and the other ends opened in air. In such arrangement, after processing gases are evacuated from the heat processing furnace, an inert gas is fed. Then when an internal pressure of the furnace becomes near an air pressure, the first valve is opened in response to the output signal of the pressure detecting unit to make the internal pressure of the heat processing furnace a little higher than the air pressure. When a differential pressure value of the differential pressure gauge is below a set value, the third value is opened to communicate the interior of the heat processing furnace with air through the air feed pipe. Then the cap closing the opening of the heat processing furnace is opened.
