Abstract: A microwave generating system includes a modular architecture which is configurable to provide power output from under 1-kilowatt to over 100-kilowatts. The various power levels are achieved by combining the RF outputs of multiple RF power amplifiers in a corporate structure. The system can be used on any ISM band. Each system component incorporates a dedicated embedded microcontroller for high performance real-time control response. The components are connected to a high speed digital data bus, and are commanded and supervised by a control program running on a host computer.

Abstract: A method of forming a silicon nitride film on a substrate in a vacuum vessel, includes forming the silicon nitride film by depositing a layer of reaction product by repeating a cycle a plurality of times. The cycle includes a first process of supplying a gas of a silicon raw material to the substrate to adsorb the silicon raw material to the substrate, subsequently, a second process of supplying a gas of ammonia in a non-plasma state to the substrate to physically adsorb the gas of the ammonia to the substrate, and subsequently, a third process of supplying active species obtained by converting a plasma forming gas containing a hydrogen gas for forming plasma into plasma to the substrate and causing the ammonia physically adsorbed to the substrate to react with the silicon raw material to form the layer of reaction product.
