摘要:
A plasma processing system includes a processing chamber provided with a plasma generation unit for applying radio-frequency power to supplied processing gas to generate plasma and a stage for holding workpieces, and a control computer for generating plasma in accordance with preset processing conditions to sequentially apply plasma processing to the workpieces and also for sequentially collecting system parameter values each of which represents a state of the plasma processing. The computer is provided with a record unit for storing, in every predetermined period, a frequency that each of the collected system parameter values deviates from a preset reference value, an occurrence rate calculation unit for calculating, based on the frequency, an occurrence rate that the each of the system parameter values deviates from the reference value, and a comparison unit for comparing the occurrence rate with a preset reference value to diagnose a state of the system.

摘要:
A semiconductor device manufacturing apparatus includes a process chamber, a conveyance chamber, a conveyance robot, a lock chamber, and a heating unit or temperature adjusting unit for reducing adherence of particles onto a substance to be processed by a thermo-phoretic force. The heating unit enables control of a temperature of the substance to be processed to be higher than a temperature of an inner wall or structural body of the process chamber or the conveyance chamber or the conveyance robot or the lock chamber, in conveying the substance to be processed. The temperature adjusting unit enables adjustment of a temperature of an inner wall or structural body of the process chamber or the conveyance chamber or the lock chamber to be lower than a temperature of the substance to be processed, in conveying the substance to be processed.

A method of manufacturing a surface treated oil well pipe comprising performing chemical conversion treatment on an oil well pipe having a steel composition containing 0.5-13% Cr using a chemical conversion treatment liquid containing zinc and phosphoric acid or manganese and phosphoric acid and further containing potassium tetraborate to form a chemical conversion film of a zinc-phosphate type or a manganese phosphate type, wherein the chemical conversion treatment is carried out in the absence of fluoride ions.
摘要:
To make it possible to suppress deterioration of processing properties of a sample to be processed due to the distortion of ion sheath at the end portion of the sample to be processed or possible to maintain the condition for suppressing the deterioration, so that the acquisition rate of acceptable products can be increased, so as to thereby improve the yield. In a plasma processing apparatus, a minute hole 10 is provided in a focus ring 9 in the vicinity of the inner circumferential portion thereof. Current detecting means 11 is arranged in the bottom portion of the minute hole 10. A high-frequency power is supplied to the focus ring 9 via high-frequency power distributing means 16. A state of distortion of an ion sheath 18 is detected from an amount of current which is changed according to the amount of the high-frequency power supplied to the focus ring 9 and which is detected by current detecting means 11. Further, the amount of high-frequency power supplied to the focus ring 9 is controlled by a control section 21 so as to correct the detected distortion state.

摘要:
A dimension of a specific part of a semiconductor device is measured with high accuracy and at a high speed.The invention provides a dimension measuring apparatus used for measuring a dimension of a semiconductor device having a first pattern of repeated structure and a second pattern that is linear and formed on the first pattern to extend over the repeated structure. The dimension measuring apparatus comprises: a shape information acquisition means, which acquires information on a shape of the first pattern; a width value acquisition means, which acquires a width value of each portion of the second pattern on a basis of an observation result of the second pattern by a microscope; an analytic area setting means, which sets a plurality of analytic areas on the second pattern such that the analytic areas are adapted for the first pattern's shape acquired by the shape information acquisition means; and a dimension determining means, which extracts, for each of the set analytic areas, width values of portions included in the analytic area in question out of width values acquired by the width value acquisition means, and uses the extracted width values to determine a dimension of the second pattern at portions overlapping the first pattern.
