    摘要: A method of processing a substrate has the following processes. After depositing a thin film onto a substrate by a CVD method, the front surface of the substrate is brought close to a gas supply surface of a gas supply mechanism to have a desired interval without making contact between the front surface and the gas supply surface. Afterwards, an etching gas is supplied into a back space of the substrate to generate plasma there, and further a purge gas is also supplied into a space between the gas supply surface and the substrate so that the purge gas flows into the back space through a peripheral-edge region of the substrate. This purge gas prevents radicals included in the plasma from diffusing into the space between the gas supply surface and the substrate.

    摘要: A CVD apparatus is equipped with a reactor, a substrate holder, an evacuation section, a reactive gas supply mechanism, a heating mechanism for heating the substrate holder, a differential pressure chuck clamping section for clamping the substrate, and a purge gas supply mechanism for supplying purge gas. The substrate holder is configured to have a circular purge gas blowing channel on the top surface thereof, in which a diameter of an outside wall-surface is less than a diameter of the substrate, and a plurality of purge gas passages in an inside thereof, each of which supplies the purge gas into the purge gas blowing channel. The purge gas passing the purge gas blowing channel is blown off through a clearance between the outer periphery of the substrate and the substrate holder. The purge gas passage includes a radius-directed part directed in a radius direction of the substrate holder and has a purge gas outlet provided on the outside wall-surface of the purge gas blowing channel. The flow of the purge gas in a circumferential direction within the purge gas blowing channel is turbulent and dispersed, and therefore the purge gas blow-off pressure in the whole periphery of the substrate is uniform.

    摘要: An electrode unit of a thermal CVD apparatus is used to generate plasma discharge for an in-situ cleaning process. The electrode unit is configured by a substrate holder and a shield member connected to a high frequency power supply, the gas supply section electrically grounded, and an auxiliary electrode disposed in the gas supply section. In a film deposition process, a reactive gas is supplied from the gas supply section, and the reactive gas is excited in a space in front of a substrate to deposit a thin film onto the substrate. In a periodical in-situ cleaning process, a cleaning gas is supplied from the gas supply section and a cleaning discharge is generated to remove unwanted films deposited on the substrate holder and the shield member. The auxiliary electrode causes the cleaning discharge to be concentrated in a space around unwanted films.

    摘要: A thin film is fabricated while causing ions in a plasma P to be incident by effecting biasing relative to the space potential of the plasma P by imparting a set potential to the surface of a substrate 9. A bias system 6 causes the substrate surface potential Vs to vary in pulse form by imposing an electrode imposed voltage Ve in pulse form on a bias electrode 23 which is in a dielectric block 22. The pulse frequency is lower than the oscillation frequency of ions in the plasma P, and the pulse period T, pulse width t and pulse height h are controlled by a control section 62 in a manner such that the incidence of ions is optimized. The imposed pulses are controlled in a manner such that the substrate surface potential Vs recovers to a floating potential Vf at the end of a pulse period T, and that the ion incidence energy temporarily crosses a thin film sputtering threshold value in a pulse period T.

    摘要: An electrostatic chuck device provided with a dielectric plate with a surface embossed to give it a plurality of projections, an electrode, and an external power source, wherein substrate supporting surfaces of the plurality of projections are covered by conductor wiring and the conductor wiring electrically connects the substrate supporting surfaces of the plurality of projections. At the time of substrate processing, when the embossed projections contact the back of the substrate, the back of the substrate and the conductor wiring is made the same in potential due to the migration of the charges, the generation of force between the back of the substrate and the conductor wiring being in contact with the same is prevented, and a rubbing state between the two is prevented. Due to this, the electrostatic chuck device reduces the generation of particles, easily and stably removes and conveys substrates, and realizes a high yield and system operating rate.
