摘要:
In a sputtering method for forming a film on a substrate in a film forming space while monitoring emission intensity of plasma, the method comprises the steps of detecting a thickness of the film formed on the substrate; comparing a detected value with a preset value of the film thickness; and deciding a target value of the emission intensity in accordance with a compared result. With the method, a transparent conductive film is formed which has high uniformity in film thickness, sheet resistance and transmittance and hence has superior characteristics.

A method for forming a deposited film containing microcrystalline silicon on a moving substrate by plasma-enhanced CVD includes forming a deposited film containing microcrystalline silicon on a moving substrate by plasma-enhanced CVD under conditions such that when a deposited film having a thickness of 300 nm or more is formed on a substrate while the substrate is in a stationary state, an area of the microcrystalline silicon region in which an intensity of Raman scattering attributed to a crystalline substance in the deposited film is equal to or higher than three times an intensity of Raman scattering attributed to an amorphous is 50% or more of the total area based on the area of the microcrystalline silicon region and the area of a region composed of the amorphous.

A chemical-reaction inducing means is provided in an exhaust line connecting a processing space for subjecting a substrate or a film to plasma processing to an exhaust means, and at least either an unreacted gas or byproduct exhausted from the processing space are caused to chemically react without allowing plasma in the processing space to reach the chemical-reaction inducing means, thereby improving the processing ability of the chemical-reaction inducing means to process the unreacted gas or byproduct.

A gas adsorptive member is disposed in a space communicating with film deposition chambers, and deposition films are deposited while continuously feeding gas components released from this member, thereby enabling the high quality and uniform deposition films to be formed on the substrate with good reproducibility.

In a process for forming on a substrate a transparent conductive film having crystallizability, the process comprises a first step of forming a film at a first film formation rate and a second step of forming a film at a second film formation rate, and the relationship between film formation rates in the respective steps satisfies: 2≦(second film formation rate)/(first film formation rate)≦100; which provides a process for producing a transparent conductive film by a deposition process advantageous for cost reduction, which can form in a short time a transparent conductive film having an uneven surface profile with a high light-confining effect, and can bring about an improvement in photovoltaic performance and enjoy a high mass productivity when applied to the formation of multi-layer structure of photovoltaic devices.

There are provided techniques of forming a back reflecting layer with constant characteristics throughout long-term film formation and forming a metal oxide film so as to be able to maintain a current of a bottom cell and thereby keep a short-circuit current Jsc of a solar cell constant over a long period of time. A sputtering method is a method of forming a stack of a metal film and a metal oxide film, comprising the step 1 of forming a metal layer on a substrate, the step 2 of bringing a surface of the metal layer into contact with active oxygen, and the step 3 of forming a metal oxide film thereon after the step 2, wherein in the step 2 an amount of active oxygen at a first substrate position is different from that at a second substrate position.
摘要:
There is disclosed an exhaust processing process of a processing apparatus for processing a substrate or a film, which comprises after the processing of the substrate or the film, introducing a non-reacted gas and/or a by-product into a trap means comprising a filament comprised of a high-melting metal material comprising as a main component at least one of tungsten, molybdenum and rhenium; and processing the non-reacted gas and/or the by-product inside the trap means. This makes it possible to prevent lowering in exhaust conductance, to lengthen the maintenance cycle of the processing apparatus, and to provide a high-quality product (processed substrate or film).
