摘要:
Installed in a processing vessel (22) is a mounting block (24) on which a semiconductor wafer (W) is mounted. Microwaves, which are generated by a microwave generator (76), are introduced into a processing vessel (22) through a planar antenna member (66). The planar antenna member (66) has a plurality of slits (84) arranged along a plurality of circumferences, the circumferences forming non-concentric circles. The plasma density distribution in the radial direction of the planar antenna member (66) becomes uniform.

An orifice for use in pressure type flow rate control unit which can be manufactured easily and inexpensively, and which has a linear relationship between pressure P1 upstream of the orifice and the flow rate over a wide range of pressure ratio P2/P1 (where P1 is the pressure upstream of the orifice and P2 is the pressure downstream of same), with the flow rate characteristic relationship among a plurality of orifices being easily adjustable. More specifically, the orifice has a structure comprising a tapered inlet section (1) wherein one open end of a bottom hole (6) bored into a main body member (D) is cut into a shape like the mouthpiece of a trumpet, and a short drawn parallel part (2) continuing therefrom; and a short expanded tapered section (3) formed by expanding the diameter of the other open end of the bottom hole (6) and continuing from the drawn parallel part (2), and an expanded parallel part (4) continuing therefrom.

An orifice plugging sensor for a flow-rate controller having an orifice, comprising a memory (M) in which is stored reference pressure decrease data Y(t) about the upstream-side pressure P1 measured when the flow rate is changed from a high preset flow rate QSH to a low preset flow rate QSL under the condition that an orifice (2) does not plug, a pressure sensor (14) for measuring pressure decrease data P(t) about the upstream-side pressure P1 measured when the flow rate is changed from the high preset flow rate QSH to the low preset flow rate QSL under the condition that the orifice is in an actual state, a central processing unit (CPU) for comparison operation of the pressure decrease data P(t) and the reference pressure decrease data Y(t), and an alarm circuit (46) for giving an alarm of a plugging when the pressure decrease data P(t) differs from the reference pressure decrease data by a predetermined degree.

摘要:
In a microwave plasma-processing device, a shower plate or plasma penetration window opposed to a board to be processed is recessed on the side opposed to the board to be processed, whereby a decrease in plasma density in the peripheral region of the board to be processed is compensated. As a result, even when plasma processing at low pressure, such as etching, is effected, stabilized uniform plasma is maintained in the vicinity of the surface of the board to be processed. Further, such arrangement enhances ignition of plasma.

A device for plasma processing comprises a gas supply system for supplying a source gas necessary for creating a plasma, and an exhaust system for discharging the gas to reduce the pressure in a container, in which a plasma is generated to process an object. The container encloses a conducting stage for supporting an object to be processed, and the stage has a structure to which DC or high-frequency voltage is applied. The stage includes the cooling channel within it to cool the object to be processed. The material of the cooling channel has a high thermal conductivity to transfer heat from the stage to the cooling channel, and the material is highly insulative to isolate the coolant from the DC or high-frequency voltage is applied to the stage.
摘要:
A semiconductor device exhibiting good characteristics by sustaining the dielectric constant of a High-K insulating film in a high state, and a process for fabricating a semiconductor device in which the dielectric constant of the High-K insulating film can be sustained in a high state. The semiconductor device comprises a silicon substrate, a gate electrode layer, and a gate insulating film interposed between the silicon substrate and the gate electrode layer. The gate insulating film is a high dielectric constant (high-k) film produced by nitriding a mixture of a metal and silicon. Since the High-K film itself is a nitride, generation of SiO2 can be prevented.
