    摘要: A remote plasma enhanced CVD apparatus and method for growing semiconductor layers on a substrate, wherein a intermediate feed gas, which does not itself contain constituent elements to be deposited, is first activated in an activation region to produce plural reactive species of the feed gas. These reactive species are then spatially filtered to remove selected of the reactive species, leaving only other, typically metastable, species which are then mixed with a carrier gas including constituent elements to be deposited on the substrate. During this mixing, the selected spatially filtered reactive species of the feed gas chemically interacts, i.e., partially dissociates and activates, in the gas phase, the carrier gas, with the process variables being selected so that there is no back-diffusion of gases or reactive species into the feed gas activation region. The dissociated and activated carrier gas along with the surviving reactive species of the feed gas then flows to the substrate. At the substrate, the surviving reactive species of the feed gas further dissociate the carrier gas and order the activated carrier gas species on the substrate whereby the desired epitaxial semiconductor layer is grown on the substrate.

    摘要: A line plasma source (20) comprises a plasma chamber (30) configured so that plasma (32) is situated remotely and on-edge with respect to a polycrystalline silicon surface (20S) to be treated, thereby preventing damage to the surface, facilitating treatment of large substrates, and permitting low temperature operation. Active species exit the plasma chamber through a long narrow ("line") outlet aperture (36) in the plasma chamber to a reaction zone (W) whereat the active species react with a reaction gas on the polycrystalline silicon surface (e.g., to form a deposited thin film). The polycrystalline silicon surface is heated to a low temperature below 6000.degree. C. Hydrogen is removed from the reactive surface in the low temperature line plasma source by a chemical displacement reaction facilitated by choice of dominant active species (singlet delta state of molecular oxygen). Reaction by-products including hydrogen are removed by an exhaust system (100) comprising long narrow exhaust inlet apertures (114L,114R) extending adjacent and parallel to the outlet aperture of the plasma chamber. An ionizing electric field is coupled to the plasma across a smallest dimension of the plasma, resulting in uniform production of active species and accordingly uniform quality of the thin film. The polycrystalline silicon surface to be treated is translated with respect to the plasma line source in a direction perpendicular to the outlet aperture of the plasma line source for integrating thin film quality in the direction of translation (22).
