    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate gas leaks between a reactor and tripod by providing a means for gripping the side face of a wafer, wafer carrier including means for detecting the malfunction thereof, and vacuum reactor having a vacuum exhaust hole at the bottom of a wafer chuck. SOLUTION: A gripper of a wafer carrier has a forefinger 110 for holding the side face of a wafer and wafer contacting ends at the tops of both its sides or center end support 102. A support table 100 has an optical sensor 160 for detecting the existence of the light shut-off by an operating lever 113 of the forefinger 110 at a detector of the wafer carrier, thereby detecting the malfunction at operating of the gripper. A tripod at the bottom of a wafer chuck and drive unit are removed, to allow a vacuum exhaust hole and vacuum pump to be located at the bottom of the chuck. This maintains the axial symmetry of a process gas flow which is fed from an upper gas feeder to enhance the process uniformity.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To reduce the resistance and parasitic capacitance of a fine gate by irradiating the upper and lower parts of the gate with an electron beam having different intensity of energy. CONSTITUTION: A two-dimensional electron gas layer 2, an AlGaAs layer 3 and a doped Schottky layer, i.e., a cap layer 4, are formed sequentially on a substrate 1 followed by formation of ohmic layers 5a, 5b. A resist 6 is then applied to the cap layer 4 and heat treated. Subsequently, a second resist 7 is applied onto the first resist 6 and an exposure step is executed using an electron beam having uneven energy. In order to form a T type gate, first and third electron beams 8a, 8c have energy of such intensity as exposing only the second resist 7 while a second electron beam 8b has energy of such intensity the first and second resists 6, 7 can be exposed entirely.
