摘要:
A carbon nanotube forming method including providing a target substrate to be processed, a catalytic metal layer being formed on a surface of the target substrate; producing catalytic fine metal particles whose surfaces are oxidized by action of an oxygen plasma on the catalytic metal layer at a temperature T1; and activating the oxidized surfaces of the catalytic fine metal particles by reducing the oxidized surfaces of the catalytic fine metal particles by action of a hydrogen plasma on the catalytic fine metal particles at a temperature T2 higher than the temperature T1. The method further includes growing a carbon nanotube on the activated catalytic fine metal particles by thermal CVD at a temperature T3.

摘要:
A rotary floater (30) for supporting an object to be processed (W) is floated by the magnetic attraction of a floating electromagnet assembly (F), and the rotary floater (30) is rotated by the magnetic attraction of a rotary electromagnet assembly (R) while its horizontal position being controlled by the magnetic attraction of a positioning electromagnet assembly (H). The floating electromagnet assembly (F) causes the magnetic attraction to act vertically upwardly, so that the rotary floater (30) is floated and suspended without contact with the inner wall of a processing container (2).

摘要:
A processing apparatus for performing a process on an object includes a chamber; a rotary floater for supporting the object on its upper end side; XY rotating attraction bodies provided in the rotary floater at an interval circumferentially; a floating attraction body provided in the rotary floater to extend circumferentially; a floating electromagnet group for floating the rotary floater while adjusting an inclination of the rotary floater by applying a vertically upward acting magnetic attraction to the floating attraction body; an XY rotating electromagnet group for rotating the rotary floater while adjusting a horizontal position of the rotary floater by applying a magnetic attraction force to the XY rotating attraction bodies; a gas supply for supplying a gas into the chamber; a mechanism for performing a process on the object; and an apparatus control unit for controlling an entire operation of the apparatus.
摘要:
The present invention provides a gas introducing mechanism and a processing apparatus for processing an object to be processed, which can supply a gas uniformly over the whole region of a processing space so as to enhance uniformity of a process in the surface of the object to be processed. The gas introducing mechanism 50, which is adapted to provide a process to the object W to be processed, by using the gas, in a processing vessel 4, includes a gas introducing ring member 54 for introducing the gas from the exterior of the processing vessel 4, a disk-like rotary base 56 provided rotatably below a top plate 48 in the processing vessel 4, and a ring-shaped gas injection ring member 60 provided around a rotary base 56 so as to be closer and opposed to the gas introducing ring member 54. A gas injecting slit 58 is provided in the ring-shaped gas injection ring member 60, the slit 58 being formed along the circumferential direction of the rotary base. A ring-shaped gas guide groove 62 is provided on at least either one of opposing side faces of the gas introducing ring member 54 and gas injection ring member 60, along the circumferential direction, corresponding to a gas introducing port.
