    摘要: A plasma processing apparatus has a chamber which houses therein a plasma processing region and a plasma generating region spaced therefrom. An object such as a semiconductor wafer, which has surface irregularities including lands, is placed in the plasma processing region. When a plasma is generated in the plasma generating region with a processing gas composed mainly of an argon gas being introduced into the chamber, the corner edges of the lands of the object are etched into a taper shape, and the material etched away from the object is deposited between the lands.

    摘要: A plasma etching method employing a parallel-plate type plasma etching device which comprises a reaction chamber, a substantially plate-like ground electrode and a substantially plate-like counter electrode both disposed in parallel with each other within the reaction chamber. The method includes the steps of placing a material to be etched on the ground electrode and carrying out an electric discharge with a spacing between the electrodes being substantially 3 to 10 mm. Etching is performed exactly at a high speed in an anisotropic form without requiring a high degree of vacuum.

    摘要: The adhesiveness of a silicone-based coating film on a substrate to an overcoating layer, e.g., a photoresist layer, can be improved without causing cracks when the silicone-based coating film is subjected to a plasma treatment at a temperature of 120.degree. C. or below in an atmosphere of a gas mainly composed of oxygen. Similar conditions of plasma treatment are applicable when patterning of a silicone-based coating film is desired in a procedure comprising the steps of forming a photoresist layer thereon, patterning of the photoresist layer in a photolithographic method, selectively etching the silicone-based coating film with the patterned resist layer serving as a mask and removing the photoresist layer by the plasma treatment.

    摘要: The invention provides a novel automatic apparatus for the continuous treatment of wafer materials, e.g. of silicon semiconductor, with gas plasma provided with a plural number of the gas plasma reaction chambers, transfer devices for bringing the wafer materials into and out of each of the reaction chambers and automatic control mechanism for controlling the individual parts of the apparatus in linkage operation. The transfer devices are composed of a main transfer conveyor extending in parallel with the array of the reaction chambers and over whole length of the array, a plural number of branched transfer conveyors each connecting one of the reaction chambers with the main transfer conveyor, a mechanism for transferring the wafer between the main transfer conveyor and one of the branched transfer conveyor and a mechanism for bringing the wafer material from the branched transfer conveyor to the gas plasma reaction chamber or vice versa. Transferring and gas plasma treatment of the wafer materials can be performed in continuous and successive linkage operations by virtue of the automatic control mechanism. The inventive apparatus is very advantageous in the continuous and concurrent handling of a plural number of wafer materials in the process of the gas plasma treatment so that excellent productivity of the process and highly uniform quality of the treated wafer materials are ensured.
