摘要:
There is disclosed an exhaust processing process of a processing apparatus for processing a substrate or a film, which comprises after the processing of the substrate or the film, introducing a non-reacted gas and/or a by-product into a trap means comprising a filament comprised of a high-melting metal material comprising as a main component at least one of tungsten, molybdenum and rhenium; and processing the non-reacted gas and/or the by-product inside the trap means. This makes it possible to prevent lowering in exhaust conductance, to lengthen the maintenance cycle of the processing apparatus, and to provide a high-quality product (processed substrate or film).

摘要:
A chemical-reaction inducing means is provided in an exhaust line connecting a processing space for subjecting a substrate or a film to plasma processing to an exhaust means, and at least either an unreacted gas or byproduct exhausted from the processing space are caused to chemically react without allowing plasma in the processing space to reach the chemical-reaction inducing means, thereby improving the processing ability of the chemical-reaction inducing means to process the unreacted gas or byproduct.

To provide an apparatus for forming a deposited film, which is a parallel plate electrode type CVD apparatus, with a discharge vessel receiving a material gas flowing therein and discharging air therefrom, decomposing the material gas by the aid of a plasma generated therein, and depositing the film on the substrate, in which the exhaust port of the material gas exhaust means has an opening wider in the lateral direction than the parallel plate electrode. This structure diminishes the stagnant region of the material gas during the deposited film forming process and controls formation of by-products, to deposit the film uniform in quality and thickness.
摘要:
A process is provided for producing a photovoltaic element which has at least one pin junction, and a buffering semiconductor layer constituted of plural sublayers between an n-type layer and an i-type layer and/or between an i-type layer and a p-type layer, through production steps of introducing a source material gas into an electric discharge space in a reaction chamber, and decomposing the source material gas by plasma discharge to form a non-monocrystalline semiconductor layer. In the process, in electric discharge generation for formation of at least one of the sublayers, the polarity of the electrode confronting the substrate for formation of a first sublayer and the polarity of the electrode confronting the substrate for formation of a second sublayer adjacent to the first sublayer is made different from each other, or the potential of one of the electrodes is set at zero volt. Thereby, diffusion of the dopant from the p-type layer or the n-type layer into the i-type layer is prevented effectively. The produced photovoltaic element is improved in the output properties, the open-circuit voltage, and the fill factor, and these properties deteriorate less.
