The present invention generally provides methods and apparatuses that are adapted to form a high quality dielectric gate layer on a substrate. Embodiments contemplate a method wherein a metal plasma treatment process is used in lieu of a standard nitridization process to form a high dielectric constant layer on a substrate. Embodiments further contemplate an apparatus adapted to “implant” metal ions of relatively low energy in order to reduce ion bombardment damage to the gate dielectric layer, such as a silicon dioxide layer and to avoid incorporation of the metal atoms into the underlying silicon. In general, the process includes the steps of forming a high-k dielectric and then terminating the surface of the deposited high-k material to form a good interface between the gate electrode and the high-k dielectric material.

In a first aspect, a first method is provided. The first method includes the steps of (1) preconditioning a process chamber with an aggressive plasma; (2) loading a substrate into the process chamber; and (3) performing plasma nitridation on the substrate within the process chamber. The process chamber is preconditioned using a plasma power that is at least 150% higher than a plasma power used during plasma nitridation of the substrate. Numerous other aspects are provided.

A camera includes a movement detection unit which detects camera movement. A blurring detection unit reduces image deterioration due to camera movement based on an output from the movement detection unit. A notifying unit provides a notice of information regarding camera movement when the output of the movement detection unit exceeds a predetermined judgment value. A mode setting unit is used to set the blurring reduction unit in an operable or non-operable state.

摘要:
A camera is provided which commences exposure at a timing at which a shake amount is reduced. An exposure operation commencement instruction section gives an instruction to commence an exposure operation. A focusing lens drive device drives a focusing lens responsive to the instruction. An exposure operation commencement decision section determines a required delay time based on the shake state of the camera body after the instruction to commence the exposure operation has been given. An exposure device commences the exposure operation according to the determined delay time. And an operating state of one of the focusing lens drive device, the exposure operation commencement decision section and the exposure device which is being operated is displayed in a discernible form. The focusing lens drive device, the exposure operation commencement decision section and the exposure section are successively operated in response to the instruction.
摘要:
In response to an exposure start instructing operation by an exposure start instructing section, a mirror driving section raises a quick return mirror. After that, a shake detecting/computing section detects and computes a shake state, and an exposure start determining section determines, on the basis of the output of the shake detecting/computing section, whether or not the start of exposure should be allowed. If exposure is allowed by the exposure start determining section, a shutter unit is driven to actually start exposure. Information concerning time from the completion of the mirror driving operation of the mirror driving section to the start of the operation of the shake detecting/computing section or to that of the exposure start determining section is stored in an operation period information storage. Accordingly, the shake detecting/computing section or the exposure start determining section starts to operate in accordance with the stored information, thereby executing the above-described processing.
