摘要:
A neutral particle beam processing apparatus comprises a process gas inlet port (11) for introducing a process gas into a vacuum chamber (1), a plasma generating chamber (2) for generating positive ions and electrons from the introduced process gas, and a negative ion generating chamber (3) for attaching electrons generated in the plasma generating chamber to the residual gas to generate negative ions. The neutral particle beam processing apparatus further comprises an ion extracting portion (4) for extracting the positive ions or the negative ions and accelerating the positive ions or the negative ions in a predetermined direction, and a neutralizing chamber (5) for neutralizing an ion beam generated by the ion extracting portion (4) to generate a neutral particle beam. The neutral particle beam generated in the neutralizing chamber (5) is applied to a workpiece (X).

A substrate processing method dose not use or only use the least possible amount of an organic solvent, and can quickly and completely remove a liquid from a wet substrate surface without allowing the liquid to remain on the substrate surface. The substrate processing method for drying a substrate surface which is wet with a liquid, includes: removing the liquid from the substrate surface and sucking the liquid together with its surrounding gas into a gas/liquid suction nozzle, disposed opposite the substrate surface, while relatively moving the gas/liquid suction nozzle and the substrate parallel to each other; and blowing a dry gas from a dry gas supply nozzle, disposed opposite the substrate surface, toward that area of the substrate surface from which the liquid has been removed while relatively moving the dry gas supply nozzle and the substrate parallel to each other.

A substrate processing method forms a plated film which is thin and has a high flatness by covering the surface (outermost surface) of a substrate, excluding interior surfaces of recesses such as trenches, with a plating inhibiting material such as an SAM-forming molecular species. The substrate processing method comprises: preparing a substrate having recesses formed in a surface; attaching a plating inhibiting material for inhibiting plating to an outermost surface, which excludes interior surfaces of the recesses, of the substrate surface; and then carrying out electroplating of the surface of the substrate, thereby filling the recesses with a plated metal.

A polishing apparatus (30) has a polishing surface (32), a top ring (36) for holding a wafer (W), motors (46, 56) to move the polishing surface (32) and the wafer (W) relative to each other at a relative speed, and a vertical movement mechanism (54) to press the wafer (W) against the polishing surface (32) under a pressing pressure. The polishing apparatus (30) also has a controller (44) to adjust a polishing condition in a non-Preston range in which a polishing rate is not proportional to a product of the pressing pressure and the relative speed. The polishing apparatus (30) can simultaneously achieve uniform supply of a chemical liquid to a surface of the wafer (W) and a uniform polishing rate within the surface of the wafer (W).
摘要:
A method of dressing a polishing member with a diamond dresser having diamond particles arranged on a surface thereof is provided. The method includes determining dressing conditions by performing a simulation of a distribution of a sliding distance of the diamond dresser on a surface of the polishing member, and dressing the polishing member with the diamond dresser under the dressing conditions determined. The simulation includes calculation of the sliding distance corrected in accordance with a depth of the diamond particles thrusting into the polishing member.

摘要:
A polishing method can automatically reset polishing conditions according to a state of a polishing member based on data on a polishing profile changing with time, thereby extending life of the polishing member and obtaining flatness of a polished surface with higher accuracy. The polishing method, includes steps of: independently applying a desired pressure by each of pressing portions of a top ring on a polishing object; estimating a polishing profile of the polishing object based on set pressure values, and calculating a recommended polishing pressure value so that a difference between the polishing profile of the polishing object after it is polished under certain polishing conditions and a desired polishing profile becomes smaller; and polishing the polishing object with the recommended polishing pressure value.

摘要:
A polishing method can prevent scratches in a polished surface of a polishing object, caused by foreign matter adhering to a surface of a polishing member, thus preventing the attendant lowering of the yield even when the polishing object is large-sized. The polishing method includes: specifying a foreign matter adhesion position or a foreign matter adhesion area in a surface of the polishing member; and intensively cleaning the foreign matter adhesion position or the foreign matter adhesion area in the surface of the polishing member.
