摘要:
A method for producing a thin semiconductor film according to the present invention includes the steps of: placing a group-IV compound or a derivative thereof in a plasma state; decomposing the group-IV compound or the derivative thereof into active species; and depositing the active species on a substrate, wherein energy for generating plasma is intermittently supplied at a supply time interval which is equal to or less than a reciprocal of {(secondary reaction rate constant of a source gas reacting with active species other than long-life active species within the plasma) × (number of source gas molecules)}.
摘要:
There is provided a plasma CVD device which can deposit a high-quality a-Si:H or other film at a high rate, and which can improve production efficiency thereof remarkably. The CVD device has a substrate holding electrode (11) and a high frequency application electrode (13) arranged opposite to and parallel to a substrate (20) held by the substrate holding electrode (11). A material gas introduced between the substrate holding electrode (11) and the high frequency application electrode (13) is decomposed by glow discharge, so that a thin film is deposited on the heated substrate (20). A first electrode heater (17) for heating a peripheral portion of the high frequency application electrode (13) is installed along the peripheral portion of the high frequency application electrode (13). A second electrode heater (18) for heating the peripheral portion of the high frequency application electrode (13) and a surface of the high frequency application electrode (13) opposite to its surface facing the substrate (20) is composed of a bottom portion (18b) and a side portion (18a) provided uprightly along a peripheral edge of the bottom portion (18b) and formed in a concave shape to surround the high frequency application electrode (13) with a spacing therebetween.

A backlight (122) emits diffused light beams. An emission direction characteristic-forming plate (123) allows light beams which have been incident thereon at generally right angles therewith to pass therethrough and intercepts light beams which have been incident thereon obliquely. An image display/input panel (121) has light receiving elements each incorporated in a corresponding pixel having a liquid crystal cell. In an image input operation, pixels are sequentially turned on and off so as to scan an original document (125) by parallel light emitted vertically from a turned-on pixel. Light reflected by the original document (125) is received by the light receiving element incorporated in the turned-on pixel and converted into an electric signal. Light emitted from the turned-on pixel of the image display/input panel (121) and reflected by the original document (125) is received by only the turned-on pixel. In this manner, a high resolution can be obtained in the image input operation.
