摘要:
There is provided a small-type semiconductor integrated circuit whose circuit area is small and whose wiring length is short. The semiconductor integrated circuit is constructed in a multi-layer structure and is provided with a first semiconductor layer, a first semiconductor layer transistor formed in the first semiconductor layer, a wiring layer which is deposited on the first semiconductor layer and in which metal wires are formed, a second semiconductor layer deposited on the wiring layer and a second semiconductor layer transistor formed in the second semiconductor layer. It is noted that insulation of a gate insulating film of the first semiconductor layer transistor is almost equal with that of a gate insulating film of the second semiconductor layer transistor and the gate insulating film of the second semiconductor layer transistor is formed by means of radical oxidation or radical nitridation.

A pressure-type flow rate control apparatus controls the flow rate of fluid passing through an orifice to a target flow rate. The flow rate of a compressible fluid under non-critical conditions (sub-sonic) passing through the orifice is calculated by: Qc=KP2m(P1−P2)n so that the flow rate can be controlled to the target flow rate with high precision and speed. Also provided is an improved pressure-type flow rate control apparatus in which a pressure ratio P2/P1=r, obtained from an upstream pressure P1 and a downstream pressure P2 is constantly compared with a critical value r, and under critical conditions (r≦rc), the flow rate is calculated by: Qc=KP1. Under non-critical conditions (r>rc), the flow rate is calculated by Qc=KP2m(P1−P2)n.

Input image data inputted in an image block of m pixels×n pixels is changed in the size of the image block; image data of the image block changed in size is subjected to compression processing; compressed image data obtained by the compression processing is subjected to expansion processing to generate restored image data in the m-pixel×n-pixel image block; and whether or not the size of the image block is further changed is judged based on the strength of the correlation between the restored image data and the input image data. The compression processing is performed on the image data while change in size of the image block is repeated until the correlation between the restored image data and the input image data is strong, thereby making it possible to perform compression processing on the image data of the input image at a high compression ratio while maintaining the image quality of the restored image.

A plasma processing unit has two electrodes for exciting a plasma, a plasma processing chamber, an RF generator, a matching circuit for performing impedance matching between the plasma processing chamber and the RF generator, a feeder that connects an output terminal of the matching circuit to one of the electrode, and a supplier that connects the RF generator to an input terminal of the matching circuit. The feeder is arranged to decrease the average density per unit volume of the RF power supplied from the RF generator as the RF power flows from the output terminal of the matching circuit to the electrode. The section of the plasma processing unit that is DC-grounded has a surface provided with a low-resistance portion. The supplier or the feeder is fixed on a floor using RF impedance adjustors so as to prevent the RF impedance therein from changing.

A valve with an integral orifice for use in gas feeding equipment provided with a pressure-type flow volume control device to be employed for manufacturing of semi-conductors and chemical goods. The valve with an integral orifice has the excellent flow rate control characteristics by improving the processing accuracy of the orifice and preventing the distortion of the orifice at the time of assembling. The orifice is formed in a stainless steel made orifice disc. The metal-made orifice disc with the orifice formed by separate processing and the synthetic-resin-made valve seat body are removably assembled, wherein the orifice disc and the synthetic resin made valve seat body are fixed airtight to the valve main body by pressing the valve seat body via a metal inner disc.

In a substrate processing apparatus, a control electrode (131) separates a process space (11C) including a substrate to be processed and a plasma formation space (11B) not including the substrate. The control electrode includes a conductive member formed in a processing vessel and having a plurality of apertures (131a) for passing plasma. A surface of the control electrode is covered by an aluminum oxide or a conductive nitride. In the substrate processing apparatus, a gas containing He and N2 is supplied into the processing vessel. In the plasma formation space, there is formed plasma under a condition in which atomic state nitrogen N* are excited. The atomic state nitrogen N* are used to nitride a surface of the substrate.

A plasma processing apparatus comprising a plurality of plasma processing units is provided. Each of the plasma processing units has a matching circuit connected between a radiofrequency generator and a plasma excitation electrode. Among these plasma processing units, a variation between the maximum and minimum values of input-terminal-side AC resistances RA of the matching circuits defined by =(RAmax−RAmin)/(RAmax+RAmin) is adjusted to be less than 0.5. A variation between the maximum and minimum values of output-terminal-side AC resistances RB of the matching circuits defined by =(RBmax−RBmin)./(RBmax+RBmin) is also adjusted to be less than 0.5. The plasma processing units can be adjusted to achieve substantially uniform plasma results in a shorter period of time.
