Microwave is introduced into a plasma chamber of a plasma processing apparatus and magnetic field is applied thereto to allow plasma generation gas to be placed in plasma state by the electron cyclotron resonance. This plasma is introduced into a film forming chamber of the plasma processing apparatus to allow film forming gas including compound gas of carbon and fluorine or compound gas of carbon, fluorine and hydrogen, and hydro carbon gas to be placed in plasma state. In addition, an insulating film consisting of fluorine added carbon film is formed by the film forming gas placed in plasma state.

The upper electrode (15a) and the lower electrode (15b) are installed in the chamber (2) in parallel. Between these electrodes, the upper electrode (15a) is electrically grounded. The lower electrode (15b) is connected to the first RF power generator (13) via the low-pass filter (14) and to the second RF power generator (22) via the high-pass filter (23). Wafer W is held against the upper part of the lower electrode (15b) by the high-temperature electrostatic chuck ESC. By being distributed the first and the second RF electric power from the RF power generators (13) and (22), respectively, plasma is produced near the lower electrode (15b), and the wafer W is processed by the plasma. By these procedures, plasma process apparatus with high efficiency in plasma processing and simple structure can be offered.

For example, in a plasma processing system, C4F8 gas and C2H4 gas are introduced as film-forming gases at flow rates of 60 sccm and 30 sccm, respectively, under the conditions of a pressure of 0.2 Pa, a microwave power of 2.7 kW, a radiofrequency power of 1.5 kW, and a wafer temperature of 350° C. At the same time, a plasma gas is also introduced at a flow rate of 150 sccm to form CF film 13 having an F content of, for example, 22% on silicon substrate 11. This CF film 13 has a relative dielectric constant of 2.4.

A semiconductor diffusion type force sensing apparatus includes a plate-like semiconductor substrate formed by a single crystal material, and a plurality of sensing elements each constituted by a substantially rectangular impurity-diffused region formed in the semiconductor substrate. The sensing elements have an electric resistance variable in accordance with a deformation thereof due to an external force exerted on the semiconductor substrate. The sensing elements are arranged in a direction in which a longitudinal direction of each of the sensing elements coincides with a crystal orientation of the semiconductor substrate having an external value of a longitudinal piezoresistance coefficient of the impurity-diffused region.

There is provided a deposition technique wherein the amounts of eliminated F and H are small in the deposition of an insulating film, such as an SiOF film or an SiCHO film, which contains silicon, oxygen and other components and which has a lower dielectric constant than the dielectric constant of a silicon oxide film. A plasma processing system for producing plasma with the energy of a power applied between first and second electrodes which are provided in a vacuum vessel so as to face each other in parallel and which are connected to separate high-frequency power supplies, respectively, is used. An object to be processed, e.g., a semiconductor wafer is mounted on the first electrode. The frequency of the high-frequency power applied to the first electrode is set to be in the range of from 2 MHz to 9 MHz, and the frequency of the high-frequency power applied to the second electrode is set to be 50 MHz or higher, to deposit an insulating film on the wafer.

Insulating films 21 through 24 of CF films (fluorine-contained carbon films) are formed on a substrate (not shown). In addition, Cu wiring layers 25 and 26 are formed on the CF films 21 and 23 via an adhesion layer 29 which comprises a Ti layer and a TiC layer. By forming the insulating films 21 through 24 of CF films, Cu in the wiring layers is prevented from diffusing into the insulating films 21 through 24. The relative dielectric constant of the CF film is smaller than the relative dielectric constant of a BCB film.

A semiconductor device has a dielectric film made of a fluorine-added carbon film formed on a substrate, a metallic layer formed on the fluorine-added carbon film and an adhesive layer formed between the dielectric film and the metallic layer. The adhesive layer is made of a compound layer having carbon and the metal (or metal the same as the metal included in the metallic layer), to protect the metallic layer from being peeled-off from the fluorine-added carbon film.
摘要:
A method for use in a plasma treatment system that shortens the time required for the cleaning of a fluorine containing carbon film adheared in a vacuum vessel and protects the surface of a transfer table when the cleaning is carried out. After a CF film is deposited by, e.g., a plasma treatment system, the cleaning of the CF film adhered in a vacuum vessel 2 is carried out. In the cleaning, a plasma of O2 gas is produced, and the C—C and C—F bonds on the surface of the CF film are physically and chemically cut by the active species of O produced by the plasma. The O2 gas penetrates into the CF film at places where the C—C and C—F bonds have been cut, to react with C of the CF film to form CO2 which scatters. On the other hand, F scatters as F2. Thus, the CF film is removed.

This optical recording medium is constructed by a substrate, a protecting film, an optical recording material layer, a light reflecting layer and a protecting layer sequentially laminated with each other. The substrate is made of a transparent material. The protecting film is made of transparent optical hardening resin. The optical recording material layer has a transparency reversibly changed in accordance with temperature. The optical recording material layer is formed by an optical recording material in which an organic low molecular substance of higher saturated fatty acid such as stearic acid or behenic acid, etc. is uniformly dispersed in a transparent resin base material composed of thermoplastic resin such as vinyl chloride resin, etc. as a high molecular compound.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an apparatus to form a thin film on a specimen in a chamber by introducing electromagnetic waves into the chamber through a dielectric provided on a window of the chamber and activating the material gas in the chamber, and the forming apparatus according to the present invention has such a construction that an electrode connected to a high-frequency generating source is mounted near the dielectric. Consequently, when a high frequency is applied to the electrode, self-biases are generated on the inner surface of the dielectric (the surface on the side of the specimen), the plus ions in the chamber being attracted to the inner surface to strike thereon, and the sputtering being caused on the inner surface by the incidence energy. As a result, due to the sputtering effect, the generation of a pile of films on the inner surface of the dielectric can be prevented, while in the case where films are already piled on the inner surface of the dielectric these films can be removed.
