Title: Kiminari Sakaguchi: Innovator in Substrate Processing Technologies

Introduction

Kiminari Sakaguchi is a notable inventor based in Kikuyo-Machi, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of substrate processing, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of substrate carrying mechanisms and processing methods.

Latest Patents

Sakaguchi's latest patents include a substrate carrying mechanism, a substrate carrying method, and a recording medium storing a program that includes a set of instructions to execute the substrate carrying method. The substrate carrying mechanism features a base and a substrate holding member that can hold a substrate and be advanced or retracted. It incorporates four or more detecting units that identify different parts of the substrate's edge when the holding member is retracted. A controller determines if a notch in the substrate's edge has been detected and corrects any transfer position errors based on measurements from the detecting units. Additionally, his substrate processing method involves applying ultraviolet rays to an insulating film material on a wafer, which reduces the contact angle and allows for a smoother application of the material, resulting in a thicker and flatter insulating film on the substrate.
