    Abstract: A fluid supply device and a fluid supply method capable of stably supplying a supercritical fluid includes a fluid supply device for supplying a fluid in a liquid state before being changed to a supercritical fluid toward a processing chamber. The fluid supply device comprises a condenser that condenses and liquefies a fluid in a gas state, a tank that stores the fluid condensed and liquefied by the condenser, a pump that pressure-feeds the liquefied fluid stored in the tank toward the processing chamber, and a heating means provided to a flow path communicating with a discharge side of the pump and for partially changing the liquid in the flow path to a supercritical fluid.

    Abstract: To provide a control valve with excellent durability performance without being restricted in terms of applications, such as usages under high pressures or high temperatures, as well as reduced generation of particles. A valve body forming an inflow passage and an outflow passage of a fluid; a valve seat formed at a peripheral edge of the inflow passage in the valve body; a diaphragm configured to connect and shut off the inflow passage and the outflow passage by coming into and out of contact with the valve seat; a diaphragm holder configured to press a central portion of the diaphragm; and an actuator configured to move the diaphragm holder are provided, includes a regulation mechanism configured to adjust a closing pressure generated between the valve seat and the diaphragm to a predetermined pressure.

    Abstract: A fluid supply device includes a condenser, a tank that stores the fluid, a pump that pressure-feeds the fluid toward a processing chamber, a main pipe connecting the tank and the pump and transferring the liquid stored in the tank to the pump using a weight of the liquid, and a discharging pipe that is connected to the main pipe at a lowest position of the main pipe at one end, is opened to the atmosphere at the other end, and vaporizes and discharges the liquid in the tank and the main pipe to the outside. The discharging pipe is formed so that, after the liquid in the tank and the main pipe is fully discharged, a liquid pool that separates a space on the atmosphere side and a space on the main pipe side of the discharging pipe is temporarily produced in the discharging pipe.
