Abstract:
A film forming apparatus for forming a thin film on a flexible substrate. The film forming apparatus forms a thin film on a flexible substrate under vacuum. The film forming apparatus includes a first zone into which a first gas is introduced and a second zone into which a second gas is introduced in a vacuum chamber. Zone separators have openings through which the flexible substrate passes. The film forming apparatus includes a mechanism that reciprocates the flexible substrate between the zones. Further, the film forming apparatus includes a mechanism that supplies a raw material gas containing metal or silicon to the first zone, and a mechanism that performs sputtering of a material containing metal or silicon as a target material in the second zone.
Abstract:
A film formation apparatus and a film formation method that can homogenize the distribution of gas in each zone in a chamber and improve film formation precision are provided. A film formation apparatus according to one embodiment includes: a chamber which includes a plurality of zones into which gas is introduced, and a plurality of discharge ports that discharge the gas located in at least any of the zones and that can individually adjust an opening state; and a transportation unit that transports a substrate so as to pass through the plurality of the zones in the chamber.
Abstract:
A laminate body includes a base material, a film-like or a membrane-like undercoat layer that is formed in at least a portion of the outer surface of the base material, and an atomic layer deposition film that is formed on a surface opposite to a surface coming into contact with the base material among both surfaces of the undercoat layer in the thickness direction thereof. At least a portion of precursors of the atomic layer deposition film bind to the undercoat layer, and the atomic layer deposition film is formed into a membrane shape covering the undercoat layer.
Abstract:
A reflective exposure mask blank and a reflective exposure mask are provided, and the mask enables accurate exposure and transcription without having light being reflected from areas other than a circuit pattern area. The reflective mask blank has, on a substrate (11), a multilayer reflective film (12), a protective film (13), an absorption film (14), and a reverse-surface conductive film (15). A reverse-surface conductive film is formed from indium tin oxide. The substrate contains SiO2, TiO2, and at least one oxide of manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), silver (Ag), nickel (Ni), sulfur (S), selenium (Se), gold (Au), and neodymium (Nd). The reflective mask is manufactured by forming a circuit pattern by selectively stripping the absorption film on the reflective mask blank, and forming a light-shielding frame by stripping the multilayer reflective film, the protective film, and the absorption film around the circuit pattern.
