    摘要: A plasma processing method includes controlling a pressure of an interior of a vacuum chamber to a specified pressure by exhausting the interior of the vacuum chamber while supplying gas into the interior of vacuum chamber. While the pressure of the interior of the vacuum chamber is being controlled, high-frequency power is supplied to one end of a first conductor which is opened at another end, and which is configured as a vortex. Also, grounding one end of a second conductor which is opened at another end and which is configured as a vortex. Finally, electromagnetic waves from the first conductor and the second conductor radiate into the vacuum chamber, generating plasma in the vacuum chamber and processing a substrate placed on the electrode within the vacuum chamber.

    摘要: Disclosed is a polycrystalline-type silicon solar cell which can be produced at low cost by forming a polycrystalline silicon film having a PN junction in a simple manner. Specifically, an amorphous silicon film produced by sputtering using a dopant-containing silicon target is polycrystallized with plasma, and a PN junction is formed in the amorphous silicon film, thereby producing a polycrystalline silicon film having a PN junction. The polycrystalline silicon film having a PN junction is used as a silicon substrate for a polycrystalline-type silicon solar cell. Also disclosed is a technique for producing a dopant-containing silicon target from a silicon ingot.

    摘要: A base material is placed on a base material placement face of a base material placement table. An inductively coupled plasma torch unit is structured with a cylindrical chamber structured with a cylinder made of an insulating material and provided with a rectangular slit-like plasma jet port, and lids closing opposing ends of the cylinder, a gas jet port that supplies gas into the cylindrical chamber, and a solenoid coil that generates a high frequency electromagnetic field in the cylindrical chamber. By a high frequency power supply supplying a high frequency power to the solenoid coil, plasma is generated in the cylindrical chamber, and the plasma is emitted from the plasma jet port to the base material. While relatively shifting the plasma torch unit and the base material placement table, a base material surface can be subjected to heat treatment.
