A circular polishing pad has grooves formed on the surface in a spiral pattern with its center point offset from the center of the pad. The spiral pattern is an Archimedean spiral pattern or a parabolic spiral pattern. A target object is polished by using such a polishing pad without oscillating the platen to which the polishing pad is pasted or the polishing head that holds the target object.

A method for anisotropically etching a substrate to be treated using plasma of a reactive gas produced by electron cyclotron resonance is disclosed. A substrate to be treated is located in a processing container, and a chlorine gas and a hydrogen chloride gas are introduced into the processing container. From the mixture of the chlorine and hydrogen chloride gases introduced into the processing container, plasma of the mixed gas is produced by electron cyclotron resonance. According to this method, the energy of the plasma of chlorine is taken by the plasma of H.sup.+, which results in a decrease in kinetic energy of the chlorine. As a result, the plasma of chlorine impinges vertically to the substrate to be treated along the sheath electric field. Consequently, etching with strong anisotropic property is enabled.

A contact hole having an opening diameter smaller than the minimum dimension that can be formed by photolithographic technique is formed. Using an interlayer insulating film 8 formed on a semiconductor substrate as an etching mask, etching is carried out halfway to form an opening 8a. The etching mask is removed, and a TEOS film 10 is formed on the interlayer oxide film 8. The whole surface is then etched anisotropically to form a contact hole 11.

A semiconductor wafer treating device utilizing a gas plasma generated by electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) is disclosed whch comprises a wafer treating chamber and a plasma generating chamber communicating with the wafer treating chamber. Microwave energy at a frequency of not more than 2 GHz and not less than 100 MHz is supplied to the plasma generating chamber which is surrounded by a solenoidal coil and produces a magnetic field in the plasma generating chamber and in the wafer treating chamber to produce ECR and transport the plasma generated by ECR to the wafer. Thus, the Larmor radius of the electrons moving in helical paths in electron cyclotron resonance in the plasma generating chamber is optimized to make the plasma spatially uniform. Consequently, the uniformity of the treatment on the wafer is improved.

A semiconductor device includes a second insulator layer (12) a first conductor layer (13) and a second insulator layer (14) stacked in this order on a semiconductor substrate (11), and a trench (15) formed to penetrate the stacked triple layer and extend into the semiconductor substrate. A capacitor is formed at a portion of the trench located in the semiconductor substrate. A transistor is formed directly on this capacitor. The capacitor has one electrode formed of the semiconductor substrate and the other electrode formed of a second conductor layer (18) formed in the trench to open a dielectric film (17). The transistor includes a gate electrode formed of the first conductor layer and source/drain regions (20, 21) of a second conductivity type distributed in the vicinity of the first and second insulator layers in an active layer (19) filling the trench. The drain and source regions of the transistor are formed by thermally diffusing impurities included in the first and second insulator layers into the active layer. Since a region to be added only for isolation is unnecessary in this semiconductor device and a manufacture method thereof, a memory cell area can be reduced, resulting in higher integration of the device.

A vacuum-treatment apparatus employs a magnetically driven clamp which uses repulsive and attractive forces between magnets. The clamp mechanism is simplified, maintenance of the apparatus can be easily performed, and the surfaces which mechanically contact one another are decreased as much as possible so that a vacuum-treatment apparatus which generates less dust is obtained.

A wafer treating device utilizing a plasma generated by a gas discharge caused by electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) includes a wafer treating chamber and a plasma generating chamber, a microwave supply for supplying microwave energy to the plasma generating chamber, and an electromagnetic coil which surrounds the plasma generating chamber to produce a minimum B-field therein. A plasma generated in the plasma generating chamber by electron cyclotron resonance is confined stably therein by the minimum B-field produced by the coil. Thus, the density and stability of the plasma in the plasma generating chamber are enhanced. The plasma in the plasma generating chamber is conveyed to a wafer in the wafer treating chamber along the diverging lines of a magnetic force. Examples of the minimum B-field producing coil include Ioffe bars, a baseball coil and an Yin-yang coil.
