A dimension of a specific part of a semiconductor device is measured with high accuracy and at a high speed.The invention provides a dimension measuring apparatus used for measuring a dimension of a semiconductor device having a first pattern of repeated structure and a second pattern that is linear and formed on the first pattern to extend over the repeated structure. The dimension measuring apparatus comprises: a shape information acquisition means, which acquires information on a shape of the first pattern; a width value acquisition means, which acquires a width value of each portion of the second pattern on a basis of an observation result of the second pattern by a microscope; an analytic area setting means, which sets a plurality of analytic areas on the second pattern such that the analytic areas are adapted for the first pattern's shape acquired by the shape information acquisition means; and a dimension determining means, which extracts, for each of the set analytic areas, width values of portions included in the analytic area in question out of width values acquired by the width value acquisition means, and uses the extracted width values to determine a dimension of the second pattern at portions overlapping the first pattern.

Disclosed is a process for fabricating a semiconductor device, which efficiently suppresses a damage layer formed on a base silicon substrate or an interconnection layer and removes a high resistivity layer in the formation of a contact hole, thereby reducing a contact resistance. The contact hole is formed in an etching step of reducing ion energy and an oxygen flow rate as an etching depth progresses, thereby suppressing the damage layer formed on the base. The reduction of the contact resistance is achieved by using a step of removing the high resistivity layer using hydrogen or a hydrogen-containing gas plasma.

In a plasma processing apparatus, a check valve is installed close to a refrigerant inlet of a compressor. When performing maintenance of a sample stage, refrigerant collected from a refrigerant flow path is temporarily stored in a flow path section extending from an expansion valve to the check valve, making it possible to perform the maintenance without changing the amount of refrigerant in the refrigerating cycle. With a refrigerant storage tank, a refrigerant supply valve, and a refrigerant discharge valve included in the refrigerating cycle, when maintenance of the compressor, a condenser, or the expansion valve is performed, the refrigerant collected from the refrigerating cycle can be put in use again.

A plasma processing apparatus includes a processing chamber, a wafer table, a refrigerant passage disposed inside the wafer table in which a refrigerant flows, a refrigeration cycle comprising the refrigerant passage in the wafer table as a first evaporator in which the refrigerant is evaporated as a result of a heat-exchange therein, a compressor, a condenser and an expansion valve, a second evaporator, and a controlling unit which adjusts a number of rotations of the compressor based upon a degree of dryness of the refrigerant at a position on the refrigeration cycle after passing through the first evaporation in a range in which dry-out does not occur in the first evaporator, and the dryness of the refrigerant being determined based upon an amount of a heat exchange during the evaporation of the refrigerant in the second evaporator.

A plasma processing apparatus is provided which processes a sample held on a sample table arranged in a process chamber in a vacuum container by using a plasma formed in the process chamber. The plasma processing apparatus comprises: paths arranged in the sample table in which a coolant is supplied and vaporized as it flows; a refrigeration cycle having the sample table, a compressor, a condenser and an expansion valve connected in that order and having the coolant circulate therein; coolant passages to cause the coolant that has passed through the expansion valve to branch and then merge with a coolant returning from the paths in the sample table toward the compressor; and a regulator to adjust an amount of coolant passing through the paths in the sample table and circulating in the refrigeration cycle and an amount of coolant branching and flowing through the coolant passages.
摘要:
By subjecting a threaded joint for OCTG (oil country tubular goods) to surface conditioning with an aqueous solution of potassium tetraborate or sodium tetraborate prior to manganese phosphate chemical conversion treatment, a manganese phosphate chemical conversion coating having coarse crystal grains with an average crystal grain diameter of 10-110 micrometers is formed on the surface of the steel member which may be any steel including a high Cr steel. This manganese phosphate chemical conversion coating can hold a large amount of a liquid lubricant, and it is effective at preventing the occurrence of galling at the time of makeup of a threaded joint for OCTG.
