Sputtering particles are deposited immediately after activating a surface of a substrate composed of a carbon-containing material. Accordingly, a process for reforming a surface of a substrate, a substrate with a reformed surface, and an apparatus therefor are provided in which the depositability and adhesiveness of the sputtering particles are improved. A vacuum ultraviolet light is generated by a laser beam. A surface of a substrate composed of a carbon-containing material is exposed to the generated vacuum ultraviolet light. As a result, the surface of the substrate is activated. Simultaneously therewith, a sputtering particles-generating device generates sputtering particles, such as neutral atoms, ions and clusters. The resultant sputtering particles are deposited on the activated surface of the substrate. Since the sputtering particles are deposited immediately after the surface of the substrate is activated, they are adhered firmly on the surface of the substrate.

A pattern-forming method for forming a predetermined pattern serving as a mask when etching film on a substrate includes the steps of: an organic film pattern-forming step for forming an organic film pattern on a film to be processed; forming a silicon nitride film on the organic film pattern; etching the silicon nitride film so that the silicon nitride film remains only on the lateral wall sections of the organic film pattern; and removing the organic film, thereby forming the predetermined silicon nitride film pattern on the film to be processed on a substrate. With the temperature of the substrate maintained at no more than 100° C., the film-forming step excites a processings gas and generates a plasma, performs plasma processing with the plasma, and forms a silicon nitride film having stress of no more than 100 MPa.

A conventional microwave plasma processing apparatus, even when krypton (Kr) is used as a plasma-generation gas, can only obtain an oxide film or a nitride film having the same level of characteristics as those obtained when a rare gas such as argon (Ar) is used as a plasma-generation gas. Accordingly, instead of forming a dielectric window of a microwave plasma processing apparatus with only a ceramic member, a planarization film capable of obtaining a stoichiometric SiO2 composition by thermal treatment is coated on one of a plurality of surfaces of the ceramic member, the surface facing a process space, and then thermally-treated, thereby forming a planarization insulation film having a very flat and dense surface. A corrosion-resistant film is formed on the planarization insulation film.

In a rotary magnet sputtering apparatus, a target consumption displacement quantity is measured, and corresponding to the measurement results, a distance between a rotating magnet group and a target is adjusted, and uniform film forming rate is achieved over a long period of time so as to reduce the change of a target surface due to consumption of the target and to reduce the change of the film forming rate with time. An ultrasonic sensor or a laser transmitting/receiving device may be used as a means for measuring the consumption displacement quantity of the target.

The present invention may be a semiconductor device including of a fluorinated insulating film and a SiCN film deposited on the fluorinated insulating film directly, wherein a density of nitrogen in the SiCN film decreases from interface between the fluorinated insulating film and the SiCN film.

Provided is a rotary magnet sputtering apparatus that reduces an adverse effect due to heating of a target portion and so on caused by an increase in plasma excitation power. The rotary magnet sputtering apparatus has a structure in which the heat is removed from the target portion by causing a cooling medium to flow in helical spaces formed between a plurality of helical plate-like magnet groups or by providing a cooling passage in a backing plate which supports the target portion.

In an apparatus for film formation, constituted so that an organic EL molecular gas is ejected into an ejection vessel, a plurality of organic EL material vessels are provided together with a piping system for connecting the plurality of organic EL material vessels to the ejection vessel. The plurality of organic EL material vessels are selectively put into a supply state of organic EL molecules. The piping system is constructed so that the carrier gas is fed into each organic EL material vessel in such a manner that the pressure during film formation and the pressure during non-film formation are equal to each other. During non-film formation, the carrier gas is allowed to flow from one of the organic EL material vessels to other material vessel.
