Title:
SUBSTRATE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND SUBSTRATE PROCESSING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/010970
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A substrate processing apparatus in which the temperature of a substrate is predicted to easily control the temperature of the substrate. A reaction furnace (processing chamber)(3) has four temperature regulating zones defined by zone heaters (340-1 to 340-4) and adapted to set and regulate the temperatures. A temperature controller (4) combines the temperatures measured by inner thermocouples (302-1 to 302-4) and outer thermocouples (342-1 to 342-4) according to the time constant of the temperature of the substrate heated by the zone heaters (340-1 to 340-4) and calculates a predicted temperature of the substrate by first-order lag calculation. The temperature controller (4) calculates the electric power values (controlled variables) of the zone heaters (340-1 to 340-4) by using the substrate predicted temperature and outputs them to the zone heaters (340-1 to 340-4).
