    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A method of cleaning semiconductor devices which removes or transmutes the contaminants sticking on sidewalls of a pattern or a trench is formed is disclosed. A substrate to be treated on which a pattern or a trench is formed is located in a processing container. A reactive gas which reacts with the contaminants sticking on the sidewall of the pattern or the trench to produce reactive ions which remove or transmute the contaminants is introduced into the processing container. Plasma of the reactive gas is produced by electronic cyclotron resonance in order to produce reactive ions from the reactive gas introduced into the processing container. According to the method, the temperature of the reactive ions in the plasma becomes high, with the result that the motion of the reactive ions in the plasma becomes more active. Accordingly, a velocity vector in a horizontal direction of the reactive ions becomes larger, which enables efficient removal or change in quality of the contaminants sticking on the sidewalls of the pattern or the trench.

    摘要: 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.
