摘要:
A semiconductor wafers processing apparatus comprises a susceptor for mounting and fixing a wafer thereon, a cooling jacket for cooling the susceptor, a process chamber whose wall encloses the susceptor and the cooling jacket, an O-ring for shielding from process atmosphere in the process chamber a clearance formed between an inner cylinder of the process chamber wall and the outer circumferences of the susceptor and the cooling jacket, and an exhaust pump for exhausting gas in the clearance. It further comprises load lock chambers for carrying the wafer into and out of the process chamber, and heat insulating members interposed between those faces of the process chamber and each of the load lock chambers which are opposed to each other. The process chamber wall can be heat-insulated from the susceptor and the cooling jacket by the exhausted clearance and the process chamber can be heat-insulated from each of the load lock chambers by the heat insulating members.

According to a thin film forming method, at least one type of gas is activated to produce a plurality of species having positive or negative charges. The plurality of species pass through an electric field or magnetic field to extract specific species. The specific species are supplied to a substrate surface. Thereafter, the specific species are chemically reacted with each other to form a thin film. This extraction is performed using a difference in track corresponding to a ratio of mass to charge of the species passing through the electric field.

Oxide material, on a substrate, in a reactor, is etched by dissolving a hydrogen halide reaction product in a liquid phase reaction product. Both the hydrogen halide and liquid phase reaction products are produced through a chemical reaction of a reactive gas containing hydrogen and halogen elements as well as at least one gaseous compound which has been remotely activated. The liquid phase reaction product is obtained by condensation on the oxide material. The use of charged particle beams and irradiating light is discussed.

A phototreating method comprises the steps of introducing a photoreactive gas into a chamber housing a workpiece, emitting first light substantially perpendicularly to a surface of the workpiece, and emitting second light substantially perpendicularly to the surface of the workpiece simultaneously with or after radiation of the first light. The surface of the workpiece is treated utilizing a photochemical reaction of the photoreactive gas caused by radiation of the first light and/or the second light.
摘要:
A pattern is formed by providing a reaction field in which a photo-induced reaction proceeds when a substrate is irradiated with light so as to form a pattern on the substrate, and setting, in the reaction field, conditions for establishing a nonlinear relationship between the intensity of the light and the rate of the photo-induced reaction. The substrate is selectively irradiated with light in the reaction field under the conditions set therein so as to selectively form a pattern in the irradiated portion of the substrate in accordance with the selective irradiation.
