摘要:
A plasma processing apparatus performs a sample processing and cleaning processing. The sample processing is carried out by generating a reaction gas plasma within a vacuum vessel of the apparatus using an electron cyclotron resonance excitation. The cleaning processing is carried out to clean the inner wall of the vacuum vessel by generating a cleaning gas plasma within the vacuum vessel. Generation of the cleaning gas plasma takes place by using either one of the following processes:(1) The plasma diameter during the cleaning processing is made larger than that during the sample processing. The end of the plasma during cleaning processing is made to reach the inside wall of the vacuum vessel.(2) The cleaning gas plasma is scanned within the vacuum vessel.

In a plasma processing apparatus using ECR, faces in contact with plasma excepting a substance to be processed are covered by an insulating material. By such configuration, discharge caused between the plasma and the substance to be processed in plasma processing is prevented beforehand.

The present invention relates to a plasma treatment apparatus for making plasma surface processing of a specimen such as thin-film formation, etching, sputtering or plasma oxidation by use of plasma produced through microwave discharge. In a specimen chamber provided with a specimen table for holding at least one specimen thereon, a microwave is introduced from a direction intersecting a magnetic line of force so as to propagate in the longitudinal direction of an ECR region or in a direction along the plane of the ECR region. Since the microwave is introduced from the transverse direction of the specimen chamber, the provision of a microwave introducing window at an upper portion of the specimen chamber is not required and hence a counter electrode for applying an electric field to the specimen can be disposed at the upper portion of the specimen chamber, thereby making it possible to apply a uniform electric field to the specimen so that the specimen is subjected to a uniform treatment.

A plasma treatment apparatus for forming a thin film on a substrate in a vacuum vessel includes a magnetic field generator which can be positioned inside or outside the vacuum vessel, and a microwave source. The magnetic field strength is controllable such that an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) area is defined near the substrate. The magnetic field generator can be arranged so that plasma and reactive gas introduction ports are on the microwave introduction side of the ECR area and the substrate is on the opposite side of the ECR area. Alternatively, a gas introduction port can be positioned such that reactive gas is introduced into the ECR area or onto the substrate.

A plasma operation apparatus utilizes plasma generated by a microwave cooperative with a magnetic field as to perform a surface operation on a specimen such as semiconductor substrates, such as, for example, thin film deposition, etching, sputtering and plasma oxidation. The apparatus particularly takes advantage of electron cyclotron resonance and is suitable for performing highly efficient and high-quality plasma operations.

Synchrotron radiation is generated when a base of charged particles is bent by a bending magnet. The synchrotron radiation passes down a lead-out duct as the total number of pumps is limited by the size of the apparatus and many pumps are needed in order to achieve a good vacuum. An ion pump has a main magnetic field, normally generated by a magnet of the ion pump which controls the behavior of the electrons in the ion pump. However, the leakage magnetic field of the bending magnet affects the ion pump, and therefore the ion pump is arranged so that its main magnetic field is aligned with the leakage magnetic field at the ion pump, or at least with a main component thereof. In this way, the effect of the leakage magnetic field on the ion pump is reduced. Indeed, it is possible to use the leakage magnetic field as the main magnetic field of the ion pump.
