Cooling device, semiconductor manufacturing apparatus and semiconductor manufacturing method

Abstract

There is provided that a cooling device for cooling a cooling target, including a circulation system configured to circulate a refrigerant for cooling the cooling target, wherein a container including a region where heat is exchanged between the refrigerant and at least a part of the cooling target is provided in the circulation system, the refrigerant is a mixed refrigerant obtained by mixing a first refrigerant of a first boiling point and a second refrigerant of a second boiling point higher than the first boiling point, the circulation system circulates the mixed refrigerant so that the mixed refrigerant enters the container at a predetermined temperature, and the first refrigerant has a vapor pressure higher than a pressure resistance of the container at the predetermined temperature.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
