摘要:
A microwave plasma process device (10) is provided with a plasma ignition enhancing means for enhancing plasma ignition by microwaves. The plasma ignition enhancing means comprises a deuterium lamp (30) which generates vacuum ultraviolet rays, and a penetration window (32) guiding the vacuum ultraviolet rays, which have penetrated the same, to a plasma excitation space (26). The penetration window (32) is constructed as a convex lens, focusing the vacuum ultraviolet rays to enhance the ionization of the plasma excitation gas. Such arrangement makes it possible to effect plasma ignition easily and rapidly.
摘要:
A micro wave plasma processing device having a radial line slot antenna capable of suppressing an abnormal discharge to increase the exciting efficiency of micro wave plasma, wherein the tip part of a power supply line in a coaxial wave guide is separated from a slot plate forming a radiating surface at a connection part between the radial line slot antenna and the coaxial wave guide.

A substrate processing apparatus has a processing space provided with a holding stand for holding a substrate to be processed. A hydrogen catalyzing member is arranged in the processing space to face the substrate and for decomposing hydrogen molecules into hydrogen radicals H*. A gas feeding port is arranged in the processing space on an opposite side of the hydrogen catalyzing member to the substrate for feeding a processing gas including at least hydrogen gas. An interval between the hydrogen catalyzing member and the substrate on the holding stand is set less than the distance that the hydrogen radicals H* can reach.
摘要:
A micro wave plasma processing device using a radial line slot antenna, wherein a slot plate (16) is formed with a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion near the coefficient of thermal expansion of a slow-wave plate (18) or by depositing a metal on a dielectric plate forming the slow-wave plate (18), and an adhesion between the slow-wave plate and the slot plate forming a micro wave radiation surface in the antenna is increased to prevent an abnormal discharge.
