摘要:
A bipolar pulsed power supply is provided in which, while effectively restricting the rise in current at the time of arcing which directly leads to the generation of splashes and particles, the occurrence of overvoltage at the time of polarity reversal is prevented. The power supply has a bridge circuit constituted by switching elements SW1 through SW4 connected to positive and negative DC outputs from a DC power supply source. The operation of the switching elements is controlled to output in a bipolar pulsed mode at a predetermined frequency to a pair of electrodes which come into contact with a plasma. There is provided an output-characteristics-switching circuit which switches the output such that, when outputting to the electrodes, the output to the electrodes has initially constant-voltage characteristics and subsequent output to the electrodes has constant-current characteristics.

Provided is a power supply apparatus which can effectively restrict the current rise at the time of occurrence of arc discharge that is directly related to the occurrence of splashes or particles, and which is also capable of preventing the discharge voltage from getting excessive at the time of finishing the arc processing. The power supply apparatus has: a DC power supply unit which applies a DC voltage to a target which comes into contact with a plasma; and an arc processing unit which can detect arc discharge generated in the electrode by positive and negative outputs from the DC power supply unit, and also which can perform arc discharge suppression processing. An output characteristics switching circuit switches the outputs such that the output to the electrode has constant-current characteristics and that the output to the electrode has constant-voltage characteristics by the time of completion of the arc suppressing processing.

There is provided a power supply apparatus that is capable of suppressing the occurrence of anomalous electric discharge due to charge-up of a substrate and that is capable of forming a good thin film on a large-area substrate. The power supply apparatus of this invention has: a first discharge circuit that alternately charges predetermined potential at a predetermined frequency to a pair of targets that are in contact with a plasma; and a second discharge circuit that charges predetermined potential between the grounding and the electrode, out of the pair of electrodes, that is not charged with potential from the first discharge circuit. The second discharge circuit is provided with a reverse potential charging means for charging, at the time of polarity reversal, at least one of the electrodes with potential that is reverse to the output potential.

A bipolar pulsed power supply which supplies power in a bipolar pulsed mode at a predetermined frequency to a pair of electrodes that come into contact with a plasma is arranged to reduce the switching loss of the switching elements in a bridge circuit, and also to attain a high durability without using high-performance switching elements. The bipolar pulsed power supply has: a bridge circuit constituted by switching elements SW1 through SW4 connected to positive and negative DC outputs from a DC power supply source; and a control means for controlling switching ON or OFF of each of the switching elements in the bridge circuit. An output-short-circuiting switching element SW0 is disposed between the positive and the negative DC outputs from the DC power supply source such that, in a short-circuited state of the output-short-circuiting switching element, each of the switching elements in the bridge circuit is switched by the control means.

A first conductive polymer film, a plate-shaped first porous member, a second conductive polymer film, and a plate-shaped second porous member are stacked on one another, and the adjacent members are connected with each other on first end portions so as to form a zigzag pattern. The first and second porous members each have an ionic solution injected thereinto so as to function as an electrolyte retention layer, so that operations can be carried out with tensions being always maintained upon both of the expansion and the contraction, and rigidity and a driving force can be exerted in both of the contracting and expanding directions.
