    摘要: In a low-temperature plasma processor, a sample (23) such as semiconductor substrate is processed with a plasma under a cooled state. An electric insulator (12) is interposed between a sample holder (11) and a coolant container (13) for cooling the sample holder, so as to electrically insulate them. In this way, a bias voltage applied to the sample holder and a voltage for generating the plasma can be prevented from leaking, so as to stabilize the process. In addition, the insulator (12) is held in close contact with the sample holder (11) and the cooling container (13) through thermal conductive members (14), whereby the occurrence of non-uniformity during the process of the sample and variation in the qualities of processed samples among sample lots or among processors can be suppressed.

    摘要: This invention relates to a vacuum processing method and apparatus. When a sample (6) is plasma-processed under a reduced pressure, a sample bed (5,7) is cooled by a cooling medium (10) kept at a predetermined temperature lower than the desired processing temperature. The sample is held on the sample bed. To control the sample temperature, a heat transfer gas is supplied between the back of the sample and the sample installation surface of the sample bed, and the pressure of the heat transfer gas is controlled so as to bring the sample to a predetermined processing temperature. In this way, a sample temperature can be regulated rapidly without increasing the size of the apparatus.

    摘要: There is provided an evacuation system in an ultra-high vacuum sputtering apparatus capable of shortening the pumping time of the system. A main pump (1) composed of a turbo-molecular pump, and a baffle (2) which is positioned upstream of the main pump (1) and cooled to a temperature at which argon gas is not absorbed and only water is absorbed are mounted, and the main pump (1) and a vacuum chamber (12) are separated by a valve (4). A pipeline system for circulating a heating medium to rapidly heat and cool the vacuum chamber (12) is formed for outgassing of the vacuum chamber (12). Since the pumping time can be shortened, the actual working ratio of the system can be increased.
