    摘要: A method for performing plasma doping which is high in uniformity. A prescribed gas is introduced into a vacuum container from gas supply apparatus while being exhausted through an exhaust hole by a turbomolecular pump as an exhaust apparatus. The pressure in the vacuum container is kept at a prescribed value by a pressure regulating valve. High-frequency power of 13.56 MHz is supplied from a high-frequency power source to a coil which is disposed close to a dielectric window which is opposed to a sample electrode, whereby induction-coupled plasma is generated in the vacuum container. The dielectric window is composed of plural dielectric plates, and grooves are formed in at least one surface of at least two dielectric plates opposed to each other. Gas passages are formed by the grooves and a flat surface(s) opposed to the grooves, and gas flow-out holes which are formed in the dielectric plate that is closest to the sample electrode communicate with the grooves inside the dielectric window. The flow rates of gases that are introduced through the gas flow-out holes and the gas flow-out holes, respectively, can be controlled independently of each other, whereby the uniformity of processing can be increased.

    摘要: A plasma doping method that can control a dose precisely is realized. In-plane uniformity of the dose is improved. It has been found that, if a bias is applied by irradiating B2H6/He plasma onto a silicon substrate, there is a time at which a dose of boron is made substantially uniform, and the saturation time is comparatively long and ease to stably use, compared with a time at which repeatability of an apparatus control can be secured. The invention has been finalized focusing on the result. That is, if plasma irradiation starts, a dose is initially increased, but a time at which the dose is made substantially uniform without depending on a time variation is continued. In addition, if the time is further increased, the dose is decreased. The dose can be accurately controlled through a process window of the time at which the dose is made substantially uniform without depending on the time variation.
