Abstract:
An apparatus for controlling an oscillation output of a magnetron includes a switch circuit controlled of ON/OFF states thereof by a pulse signal, a rectifying circuit for supplying microwave power pulses to the magnetron, and a transformer having a primary side and a secondary side. The primary side has a first terminal and a second terminal, where the first terminal is connected to an A.C. power supply, the second terminal is connected to the switch circuit. The secondary side is connected to the rectifying circuit. The switch circuit is turned ON/OFF by the pulse signal so that a duty factor of the microwave power pulses output from the rectifying circuit and a repetition frequency of the duty cycle thereof become constant.
Abstract:
A load lock chamber (12) is connected in a front stage of a film forming chamber (11) through a damper and the like. A pipe to which a N2 gas and aeriform or fog-like H2O are supplied is connected to the load lock chamber (12). The pipe is led from a vaporizer (13). Inside the load lock chamber (12), a carrying section 15 on which a wafer (20) is placed is provided, whereas outside the load lock chamber (12), a cooler (14) cooling a carrying section (15) by means of liquid nitrogen is arranged. The temperature of the carrying section 15 is held at, for example, −4° C.
