摘要:
A charged particle separation apparatus that separates ionized gas clusters is disclosed. The charged particle separation apparatus includes an electric field applying part including two electrodes across which electric voltage is applied in order to generate electric field between the two electrodes thereby deflecting a trajectory of the ionized gas cluster, the electrodes including one of an opening and a void; and a plate opening that allows the ionized gas cluster whose trajectory is deflected by the electric field applying part to go therethrough.

A disclosed surface processing method includes a first processing step, wherein a gas cluster beam is generated from a source material that does not contain nitrogen, and irradiated to a member to be processed, and a second processing step, wherein a nitrogen gas cluster beam is generated and irradiated to the member to be processed.
摘要:
This thin film forming method for a solar cell forms a thin film that contains a plurality of elements on the surface of an object to be processed. A raw material solution that contains the elements is dispersed in a processing space and microparticles by an electric field, and the microparticles that are dispersed form a thin film that adheres to the surface of the object to be processed. Thus, a thin film for a solar cell element with preferable crystallinity can be formed even in an atmosphere at atmospheric pressure.

A vacuum process system comprises: a load port on which an object to be processed is set; a common transfer chamber disposed adjacent to the load port, having an internal space set at an atmospheric pressure level, and including a first transfer device that is movable and transfers the object into/from the load port, the first transfer device being disposed within the internal space; and a process unit having one process chamber for subjecting the object to a predetermined process, and a vacuum transfer chamber connected to the process chamber, having an internal space set at a vacuum pressure level, and including a second transfer device for transferring the object into/from the process chamber, the second transfer device being disposed within the internal space. The process units are individually connected to the common transfer chamber such that the process units are substantially parallel to each other. The vacuum chamber of each process unit is connected to the common transfer chamber. Each process unit extends linearly in a direction substantially perpendicular to the common transfer chamber. The object is transferred into/from the vacuum transfer chamber by means of the first transfer device.

A film formation method of forming a film on a fine-pattern by supplying a processing medium that is in the supercritical state in which a precursor is dissolved on a target substrate is disclosed. The film formation method includes a first process of supplying the processing medium on the target substrate, the temperature of which is set at a first temperature that is lower than a film formation minimum temperature that is the lowest temperature at which film formation takes place, and a second process of forming the film on the target substrate by raising the temperature of the target substrate from the first temperature to a second temperature that is higher than the film formation minimum temperature.

A transfer apparatus for carrying a semiconductor wafer into a wafer cassette comprising an arm to load a semiconductor wafer thereon, a moving mechanism to move the arm to a wafer cassette, a chucking device to have a wafer attracted to the arm, and an auxiliary mechanism to push a wafer and adjust the position of the wafer to the inlet of a wafer cassette when the wafer comes into contact with the side wall of the wafer cassette.
摘要:
A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus, when a barrier film and a copper film are formed along a recess in an insulating film by using an alloy layer of copper and addictive metal, e.g., Mn, and copper wiring is embedded therein, reduces Mn in the copper film to suppress an increase in wiring resistance. A vacuum transfer module is connected, through a load lock chamber, to a loader module for transferring a wafer with respect to a carrier. A formic acid treatment module supplying formic acid vapor as an organic acid to the wafer and a module forming a film of Cu, e.g., by CVD are connected to the vacuum transfer module to configure an apparatus manufacturing a semiconductor. The wafer W subjected to alloy layer formation and then, e.g., to annealing is transferred into the apparatus, and treatment with formic acid is performed followed by Cu film formation.
摘要:
A ceramic heater system has a ceramic heater base having a substrate-mounting surface formed on the top surface thereof and a heater, buried in the heater base, for heating a substrate. A fluid passage is formed buried in the heater base below where the heater is buried. The heater base is cooled as a fluid whose temperature is lower than the temperature of the heater base is let flow in the fluid passage. A substrate processing apparatus has the ceramic heater system installed in a process chamber whose vacuum state can be maintained, a gas supply mechanism for feeding a gas into the process chamber, and a power supply. The substrate processing apparatus performs a heat treatment, etching and film deposition on a substrate placed in the process chamber.
