    摘要: A method of cleaning a charged beam irradiating apparatus having a part exposed to a charged beam in a vacuum chamber to contaminate the part with organic contaminations, the method including the selective introduction of electrically neutral active species into the vacuum chamber, after it has been exhausted, to remove the contaminations from the part by exposure to the introduced neutral active species. The neutral active species are formed outside of the chamber in a plasma discharging gas with other species including electrons or positive ions. Only the electrically active neutral species are selected for introduction into the evacuated container.

Since the primary gas and the circulating gas are allowed to become mixed only in the processing chamber, the circulating gas can be controlled with a greater degree of ease without having to implement pressure control.

    摘要: This invention provides the following high-rate silicon etching method. An object to be processed W having a silicon region is so set as to be in contact with a process space in a process chamber that can be held in vacuum. An etching gas is introduced into the process space to form a gas atmosphere at a gas pressure of 13 Pa to 1,333 Pa (100 mTorr to 10 Torr). A plasma is generated upon application of RF power. In the plasma, the sum of the number of charged particles such as ions and the number of radicals increases, and etching of the silicon region is performed at a higher rate than in conventional etching.

    摘要: A gas recirculation flow control method and apparatus for use in an evacuation system having a vacuum chamber into which a gas is introduced, a first vacuum pump for exhausting the gas from the vacuum chamber and reducing the pressure in the vacuum chamber to a desired pressure, a second vacuum pump for performing evacuation to lower the back pressure of the first vacuum pump below an allowable back pressure, and a gas recirculation line for returning a part of gas exhausted from the first vacuum pump to the vacuum chamber. The recirculation flow rate Q2 of the gas returning to the vacuum chamber through the gas recirculation line is controlled by adjusting the differential pressure Pd−Pc in the gas recirculation line by varying the effective pumping speed of the second vacuum pump using the following relationship: Q2=C×(Pd−Pc) where: Q2 denotes the recirculation flow rate of the gas returning to the vacuum chamber through the gas recirculation line; Pc denotes the pressure in the vacuum chamber; Pd denotes the pressure in the upstream side of the gas recirculation line; and C denotes the conductance of the gas recirculation line.
