Abstract

A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus component (101) to which nitride semiconductor that can be expressed as a general formula AlxInyGa1-x-yN (where x and y satisfy 0 ≤ x < 1, 0 ≤ y < 1, and 0 ≤ x+y < 1) is adhered is disposed in a washing apparatus (100) provided with a gas introducing pipe (104) and a gas discharging pipe (105). After making the inside of the apparatus a decompressed state, halogen-containing gas is introduced from the gas introducing pipe (104), and the pressure in the apparatus is made to be not less than 10 kPa and not more than 90 kPa. After that, the halogen-containing gas is kept inside the apparatus to remove the nitride semiconductor adhering to the semiconductor manufacturing apparatus component (101).

Abstract

An electric signal generated by a photoelectric conversion element (104) is inputted into a comparator (120). The comparator (120) determines whether or not an electric signal outputted by an amplifier (110) is greater than or equal to a reference voltage and outputs a high signal when the electric signal is greater than or equal to the reference voltage. A reference voltage modification unit (130) raises the reference voltage once the comparator (120) determines that the electric signal is greater than or equal to the reference voltage and after a predetermined amount of time has elapsed. On the basis of the pulse width, which is the period from when the electric signal equals or rises above the reference voltage to when the electric signal equals or drops below the reference voltage, a signal processing device corrects the rising timing which is when the electric signal became greater than the reference voltage, thereby calculating the timing with which a signal light began to enter a photoelectric conversion unit (100).

Abstract

A neutron measurement device (1A) is configured by a neutron detection unit (10), a light detection unit (20) which detects scintillation light emitted from the neutron detection unit (10), a light guiding optical system (15) which guides the scintillation light from the neutron detection unit (10) to the light detection unit (20), and a blocking member (30) which is located between the neutron detection unit (10) and the light detection unit (20) and blocks radiation traveling to the light detection unit (20). As a scintillator for neutron detection which constitutes the neutron detection unit (10), a scintillator which is configured from a lithium glass material produced by adding PrF3 to a glass material 20Al(PO3)3-80LiF is used. Thus, the scintillator for neutron detection and the neutron measurement device which are capable of suitable neutron measurement including the measurement of a scattered neutron from implosion plasma are implemented.
