    摘要: A plasma processing apparatus for plasma processing using a high-density plasma and adaptable to finer microfabrication comprise an electrode plate provided with an upper electrode having a dielectric member or a cavity and a lower electrode serving as a susceptor and opposed to the upper electrode. The size and dielectric constant of the dielectric member are determined so that resonance may be caused by the frequency of high-frequency power fed to the central portion of the back of the electrode and that the electric field is perpendicular to the electrode plate may be produced so as to reduce the uneveness of the distribution of the electric field over the top surface of the electrode.

    摘要: A plasma device for uniform processing of large-size wafers. The device comprises a processing container (4) that is a bottomed cylinder with an upper opening covered with a quartz plate (8), the cylinder including a processing stage (10) for holding a wafer (W); a microwave device (50) for supplying TE11-mode microwave; a cylindrical waveguide (52) including a waveguide space, connected with the microwave device (50) on one end, and extending toward the quartz plate (8); a radial waveguide box (54) including a waveguide space, connected with the other end of the waveguide (52), spreading radially outward in the shape of a flange, and falling toward the quartz board (8) to serve as a side wall; and a disk-like slot antenna (60) arranged along the quartz board (8) to cover a lower opening of the waveguide box (54). A circular polarization converter (56) can be provided to rotate microwave on the axis of the cylindrical waveguide (52) and send it to the waveguide box (54).

    摘要: A plasma generating device provided with a plasma generating chamber (10) and a high-frequency antenna (1) arranged in the chamber (10) for generating inductively coupled plasma by applying a high-frequency power to a gas in the chamber (10) from the antenna (1). The antenna (1) is a low-inductance antenna formed of a first portion (11) extending from the outside of the chamber (10) into the chamber (10), and a plurality of second portions (12) diverging from an inner end (11e) of the first portion (11) in an electrically parallel fashion, and having a termination (12e) directly connected to the inner wall of the grounded chamber (10). The surface of the antenna (1) is coated with an electrically insulating material. Frequency of the high-frequency power applied to the antenna may be in a range from 40 MHz to hundreds of megahertz. The plasma generating device can generate desired plasma by suppressing disadvantages such as abnormal discharge, matching failure and others, and can be constructed so that a desired processing such as film deposition can be performed.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for local beam processing using a beam activated gas to etch material are described. Compounds are disclosed that are suitable for beam-induced etching. The invention is particularly suitable for electron beam induced etching of chromium materials on lithography masks. In one embodiment, a polar compound, such as CINO 2 gas, is activated by the electron beam to selectively etch a chromium material on a quartz substrate. By using an electron beam in place of an ion beam, many problems associated with ion beam mask repair, such as staining and riverbedding, are eliminated. Endpoint detection is not critical because the electron beam and gas will not etch significantly the substrate.

    摘要: The invention is intended, in a vertical type plasma processing apparatus, to prevent damage to process objects due to a plasma, and to suppress the generation of sputter due to hollow cathode discharge and the plasma, without lowering the radical utilization efficiency. A part of the inner surface of the side wall of a processing vessel 32 is provided with a vertically extending recess 74. A plasma gas supplied from a plasma gas nozzle 62 disposed in the recess 74 is converted into a plasma in an area PS between plasma electrodes 76 in the recess 74, and leaves the recess 74 toward the process objects W.
