Provided is a method of producing a silicon compound material, including the steps of: storing a silicon carbide preform in a reaction furnace; supplying a raw material gas containing methyltrichlorosilane to the reaction furnace to infiltrate the preform with silicon carbide; and controlling and reducing a temperature of a gas discharged from the reaction furnace at a predetermined rate to subject the gas to continuous thermal history, to thereby decrease generation of a liquid or solid by-product derived from the gas.

Method of producing a silicon compound material and apparatus for producing a silicon compound material

By using chemical vapor deposition or chemical vapor infiltration, silicon carbide is deposited on a preformaccommodated in a reaction furnacefor film formation, and the amount of additive gas added to raw material gas and carrier gas to be supplied to the reactive furnaceis used to control the growth rate and filling uniformity at film formation of silicon carbide. When the film formation of silicon carbide follows a first-order reaction, the amount of added additive gas is used to control the sticking probability of the film-forming species. When the film formation of silicon carbide follows a Langmuir-Hinshelwood rate formula, the amount of added additive gas is used to make a control so that a zero-order reaction region of the Langmuir-Hinshelwood rate formula is used.

In an ATM switch device having a plurality of input ports and a plurality of output ports, a port buffer is arranged for each of the output ports and is given a minimum guaranteed value which represents the minimum number of output cells sent to each output port even when traffic congestion takes place at the other output ports. A total queue monitoring buffer is also arranged to monitor a total number of output cells which is equal to a total sum of the minimum guaranteed values determined for the respective output ports and is counted up only when the counts of the port buffers exceed the minimum guaranteed values. With this structure, it is possible to detect traffic congestion all over the ATM switch device by the total queue monitoring buffer and to assure delivery of the output cells equal to the minimum guaranteed value. Each minimum guaranteed value may be determined for each service class and a multicast cell.
