A driver circuit includes a drive circuit, a monitoring circuit, and a control circuit. The drive circuit includes a first current source and drives a switching element when the first current source is connected to a control terminal of the switching element. The monitoring circuit monitors a period of time from a start to an end of a change in a voltage drop across the switching element. The control circuit controls a current value of the first current source based on the monitored period of time such that a slew rate of the voltage drop across the switching element approaches a target value.

A non-contact power supply device is used in a processing apparatus including a moving unit movable inside a closed container. The device supplies electric power to the moving unit from outside the closed container. The power supply device includes a feed unit and a heat dissipater. The feed unit includes a feed line and a power supply transformer. The feed line has a feed region arranged inside the closed container along the moving direction of the moving unit. The transformer is arranged inside the closed container so as to be opposed to the feed region in a non-contact manner and is provided so as to move together with the moving unit. The heat dissipater includes a portion on one end side connected to the feed region so as to be capable of conducting heat thereto, and a portion on the other end side extending outside the closed container, so that heat generated in the feed region is partially dissipated outside the closed container.
