20060090853 - Substrate processing system for performing exposure process in gas atmosphere: A substrate processing system which sprays exposure process gas onto a substrate disposed within a chamber. The substrate processing system is used, for example, for performing an exposure process of an organic film formed on a substrate in a gas atmosphere obtained by vaporizing an organic solvent solution for dissolving...

20060090854 - Rf supply system and plasma processing apparatus: An RF supply system is to be connected to an RF electrode disposed outside or inside a process chamber to assist a plasma process performed in the process chamber. This system includes an RF power supply, a matching unit, and an impedance converter. The RF power supply is configured to...

20060090855 - Substrate mounting table, substrate processing apparatus and substrate temperature control method: A substrate mounting table for mounting a substrate in a substrate processing apparatus includes a mounting table main body, an annular peripheral protrusion portion which is formed such that when the substrate is loaded on a reference surface at a substrate mounting side of the mounting table main body, it...

20060090856 - Automated fabric layup system and method: To apply a resin impregnated fabric to a substrate, a device includes a surface having a layer of material and a first edge. The surface moves relative to the substrate and to conform to the substrate. The layer of material is compatible for use with the resin. The first edge...

20060090857 - Coating film transfer tool: In a coating film transfer tool, a tape supply core rotation limiter predetermines the amount of coating film laid down on a receiving surface, to enable erasure of small areas. The permitted rotation of the supply core can be selected from a group of different choices by the use of...
