摘要:
The present invention provides a plasma processing apparatus which has the function of removing a deposit adhering to the periphery of the backside of a sample and has high throughput and low cost. That is, a deposit removal unit for removing the deposit on the periphery of the backside of the sample by pulsed laser irradiation is connected to an atmosphere-side transfer chamber of the plasma processing apparatus.

摘要:
A plasma processing method for etching a sample having a gate oxide film includes generating a plasma in a vacuum chamber using electromagnetic waves, applying an rf bias power to the sample, turning off the rf bias power before a charged voltage of the sample reaches a breakdown voltage, turning on the rf bias power after the charged voltage of the sample has substantially dropped, and repeating the turning on and off of the rf bias power to process the sample. The off-time is set at least longer than the on-time.
摘要:
A process for economical and efficient fabrication of gate electrodes no larger than 50 nm, which is beyond the limit of exposure, is characterized by gate-electrode trimming and mask trimming with high resist selectivity which are performed in combination. The process is also preferably characterized by performing trimming and drying cleaning in a vacuum environment and may also include steps of inspecting dimensions and contamination in a vacuum environment. The process can be implemented to provide the effects of forming a gate no longer than 50 nm (beyond the limit of exposure) without restrictions on the resist thickness; reducing contamination resulting from transfer of wafers from one step to next, thereby improving yields; preventing resist from hydrolysis by ArF laser, thereby reducing roughening which adversely affects the gate width; and ensuring stable yields despite variation in dimensions and contamination owing to the additional dry cleaning step and feed-forward control based on CD inspection and contamination inspection.
摘要:
A hole is formed on an insulating film made of silicon oxide by selectively plasma-etching the insulating film with an etching gas containing C5F8, O2, and Ar firstly under a condition in which the deposition property of a polymer layer is weak and secondly under a condition in which that of the polymer layer is strong.
摘要:
A hot rolling method of steel products comprises rolling steel products while forming a film of an oxalate (such as iron oxalate, calcium oxalate and the like) on the roll surfaces which have contact with the steel products to be rolled and a hot rolling roll for steel products which has an oxalate film on the roll surfaces having contact with the steel products to be rolled. The oxalate film is effective in preventing steel products, particularly stainless steel products, from seizing between the rolls and the steel products to be rolled, preventing wear of the rolls, and preventing the deterioration of both the rolls and the steel products, when the steel products are subjected to hot rolling.
