    摘要: A wafer is exposed to a plasma. Here, the wafer includes a semiconductor or a conductor 1 provided on an insulator 6, an insulator 2 formed thereon and having a region the thickness of which has been made locally thin, and a 2nd conductor 4 provided on the insulator 2, one of the semiconductor or the conductor 1 and the 2nd conductor 4 having a 1st region from the surface of which a substantially total solid angle is formed, the other having a 2nd region a solid angle formed from the surface of which is made smaller than the 1st region. Then, a voltage is applied to the semiconductor or the conductor 1 and the 2nd conductor 4 so as to measure a time elapsing until the insulator 2 undergoes a dielectric breakdown. Moreover, the ion current density is determined from an electric charge required therefor and an area exposed onto the surface of the 2nd conductor 4. Consequently, it becomes possible to measure, on the wafer, the current density of the ions launched into the wafer, thereby allowing the measuring method of the icon current density to be made suitable for the mass production.

    摘要: Insulating films 34 through 38 (of which insulating films 34, 36, 38 are silicon nitride films and insulating films 35, 38 are silicon oxide films) are sequentially formed on the wires 33 of the fourth wiring layer and groove pattern 40 is transferred into the insulating film 38 by means of photolithography. An anti-reflection film 41 is formed to fill the grooves 40 of the insulating film 38 and then a resist film 42 carrying a hole pattern 43 is formed. The films are subjected to an etching operation in the presence of the resist film 42 to transfer the hole pattern into the insulating films 38, 37, 36 and part of the insulating film 35. Subsequently, the resist film 42 and the anti-reflection film 41 are removed and the groove pattern 40 and the hole pattern 43 are transferred respectively into the insulating film 37 and the insulating film 35 by using the insulating film 38 as mask.

    摘要: Disclosed is apparatus for treating samples, and a method of using the apparatus. The apparatus includes processing apparatus (a) for treating the samples (e.g., plasma etching apparatus, the samples being selectively etched through use of a resist mask), (b) for removing (ashing) the resist mask, (c) for wet-processing of the samples and (d) for dry-processing the samples. Samples are passed sequentially from a supply cassette (containing a plurality of samples) to the plasma etching apparatus, through the other apparatus and to a discharge cassette (which can hold a plurality of the samples). At least two of the samples can be processed simultaneously in a path from (and including), the plasma etching apparatus to (and including) the wet-processing structure.
