    Abstract: A laser gas regenerating apparatus regenerates a discharged gas discharged from at least one ArF excimer laser apparatus and supplies the regenerated gas to the at least one ArF excimer laser apparatus connected to a first laser gas supply source that supplies a first laser gas and to a second laser gas supply source that supplies a second laser gas. The laser gas regenerating apparatus includes a data obtaining unit that obtains data on a supply amount of the second laser gas supplied to the at least one ArF excimer laser apparatus; a xenon adding unit that adds, to the regenerated gas, a third laser gas; and a control unit that controls, based on the supply amount, an addition amount of the third laser gas by the xenon adding unit.

    Abstract: Provided is a laser annealing apparatus causing laser light to be radiated to processing receiving areas arranged, out of a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, along at least the second direction and move a batch radiation area and a workpiece in the first direction, and the laser annealing apparatus includes an energy density measuring apparatus measuring the energy density at, out of first and second ends of the batch radiation area in the second direction, at least the second end, an energy density adjusting apparatus adjusting the energy density at the first end, and a controller controlling the energy density adjusting apparatus. The energy density at the first end when (N+1)-th scanning is performed is so adjusted that the energy density at the first end in an (N+1)-th scan area approaches the energy density at the second end in the N-th scan area.
