摘要:
A laser gain medium includes an optical medium configured to transmit a laser beam and having an incident face, a first face, a second face opposing to the first face; and gain media configured to amplify the laser beam while reflecting the laser beam. At least one of the gain media is joined on a first face of the optical medium as a first face gain medium, and at least one of the remaining gain media is joined on a second face of the optical medium as a second face gain medium. The laser beam is incident into the optical medium, and is amplified by the first face gain medium and the second face gain medium while being alternately reflected by the first face gain medium and the second face gain medium.

A method of dechucking a wafer, with a low-k dielectric layer, held onto an electrostatic chuck by an electrostatic charge in a plasma chamber is provided. The electrostatic clamping voltage is removed. An essentially argon free dechucking gas is provided into the plasma chamber. A dechucking plasma is formed from the dechucking gas in the plasma chamber. The dechucking plasma is stopped.

A laser scanning optical apparatus wherein a plural number of beams are deflected by one polygon mirror and are scanned on respective corresponding photosensitive drums via a scanning optical system. The scanning optical system has a first scanning lens which transmits all the beams, exclusive second scanning lenses which transmit exclusively the respective beams and plane mirrors for reflecting the beams. The second scanning lenses are located such that at least one of the second scanning lenses is at a distance from the corresponding photosensitive drum on which the beam transmitted by the at least one of the second scanning lenses is scanned and that another second scanning lens is at another distance from the corresponding photosensitive drum on which the beams transmitted by the another second scanning lens is scanned. For example, at least one of the exclusive optical elements is at a distance from the corresponding photosensitive drum, and the other exclusive optical elements are at another distance from the respective corresponding photosensitive drums. Alternatively, the exclusive optical elements are at mutually different distances from the respective corresponding photosensitive drums.

200 mm and 300 mm wafers are processed in vacuum plasma processing chambers that are the same or have the same geometry. Substantially planar excitation coils having different geometries for the wafers of different sizes excite ionizable gas in the chamber to a plasma by supplying electromagnetic fields to the plasma through a dielectric window at the top of the chamber. Both coils include plural symmetrical, substantially circular turns coaxial with a center point of the coil and at least one turn that is asymmetrical with respect to the coil center point. Both coils include four turns, with r.f. excitation being applied to the turn that is closest to the coil center point. The turn that is third farthest from the center point is asymmetric in the coil used for 200 mm wafers. The two turns closest to the coil center point are asymmetric in the coil used for 300 mm wafers.
摘要:
A process chamber for a plasma processing apparatus is provided in which etch uniformity is maintained in both chemically driven and ion driven processes. The process chamber utilizes a barrier whose position relative to a wafer may be changed. During chemically driven processes, the barrier may be established so as to substantially prevent the diffusion of neutral reactants from regions outside the perimeter of the wafer. During ion driven processes, the barrier may be moved (e.g., withdrawn) so as to not compromise the ion driven etch.
摘要:
A method in a plasma processing system for etching a feature through a given layer on a semiconductor substrate. The method includes placing the substrate in a plasma processing chamber of the plasma processing system. The method also includes flowing an etchant gas mixture into the plasma processing chamber, the etchant gas mixture being configured to etch the given layer. The method additionally includes striking a plasma from the etchant source gas. Furthermore, the method includes etching the feature at least partially through the given layer while applying a bias RF signal to the substrate, the bias RF signal having a bias RF frequency of between about 45 MHz and about 75 MHz. The bias RF signal further has a bias RF power component that is configured to cause the etch feature to be etched with an etch selectivity to a second layer of the substrate that is higher than a predefined selectivity threshold.

An optically pumped disk type solid state laser oscillator includes: a cylindrical shape thin film laser gain medium having a through-hole; a ring mirror whose surface is opposing to a side surface of the thin film laser gain medium; a conical mirror arranged in the through-hole and reflects a light from the ring mirror to a direction perpendicular to the thin film laser gain medium where an output mirror is arranged. The ring mirror, the conical mirror and the output mirror compose a resonator for oscillating a laser beam to be outputted from the output mirror.
