摘要:
A power supply antenna comprises a plurality of coils disposed concentrically. Power supply portions formed at opposite ends of the respective coils are located in different phases on the same plane such that spacing between the adjacent power supply portions is equal. The power supply antenna can generate a uniform electric field and a uniform magnetic field, although it has the plural coils.

When the size of a substrate 1 is instructed, a map of uniform sputter-etching possible region based on the relationship between the diameter-size Dp of a high-density plasma region and the height H from the center of the high-density plasma region to the bottom of a plasma diffusion region is read out; on the basis of the internal pressure and the frequency of electromagnetic waves from an antenna 116, the value of the height Hp from the center of the high-density plasma region to the upper surface inside a vacuum chamber 111, and the value of the Dp are obtained; on the basis of the internal pressure and the magnitude of the self-bias potential of the substrate 1, the height Hs between the bottom of the plasma diffusion region and the top surface of a supporting table 113 is obtained; on the basis of the above-mentioned values of Dp, Hp and Hs, the value of the H in the uniform sputter-etching possible region is obtained from the map; and a lifting-and-lowering device 121 is controlled so that H can have the above-mentioned value.

摘要:
A plasma film deposition apparatus (plasma processing apparatus) is disclosed, which includes a second antenna 11b disposed around an antenna 11a and located outwardly of a ceiling surface, and which supplies the second antenna 11b with an electric current flowing in a direction opposite to the direction of an electric current supplied to the antenna 11a by power supply means, whereby lines of magnetic force, F2, heading in a direction opposite to the direction of lines of magnetic force, F1, appearing at the site of the antenna 11a are generated at the site of the second antenna 11b. Thus, the magnetic flux density in the direction of the wall surface is lowered, even when a uniform plasma is generated in a wide range within a tubular container 2.
摘要:
A superconductor is produced by electric discharge explosion flame spraying of a composite body of constituents of an immiscible alloy. The electrically discharged composite body is deposited on a substrate and the resultant alloy is oxidized to yield an oxide of the alloy having superconductive property. This process can be applied to the Ln-Ba-Cu system (Ln is at least one of the rare earth elements including Y), typically the Y.sub.1 Ba.sub.2 Cu.sub.3 - or Y.sub.2 Ba.sub.4 Cu.sub.8 system, or other immiscible alloy systems such as the Bi-(Ca, Sr)-Cu system to form an oxide thereof.
