摘要:
In a sputtering method for forming a film on a substrate in a film forming space while monitoring emission intensity of plasma, the method comprises the steps of detecting a thickness of the film formed on the substrate; comparing a detected value with a preset value of the film thickness; and deciding a target value of the emission intensity in accordance with a compared result. With the method, a transparent conductive film is formed which has high uniformity in film thickness, sheet resistance and transmittance and hence has superior characteristics.

There are provided techniques of forming a back reflecting layer with constant characteristics throughout long-term film formation and forming a metal oxide film so as to be able to maintain a current of a bottom cell and thereby keep a short-circuit current Jsc of a solar cell constant over a long period of time. A sputtering method is a method of forming a stack of a metal film and a metal oxide film, comprising the step 1 of forming a metal layer on a substrate, the step 2 of bringing a surface of the metal layer into contact with active oxygen, and the step 3 of forming a metal oxide film thereon after the step 2, wherein in the step 2 an amount of active oxygen at a first substrate position is different from that at a second substrate position.

Since the transfer speed of a substrate is controlled to compensate for a film-forming rate, and an electric power applied to heating means for heating the substrate is controlled so that thermal equilibrium of the substrate is maintained, a film having a uniform thickness and quality can be stably formed even when sputtering is performed for a long time.

A microwave plasma CVD method for continuously forming a large area and length functional deposited film, the method comprises: continuously moving a substrate web in the longitudinal direction by paying out it by a pay-out mechanism and taking it up by a take-up mechanism; establishing a substantially enclosed film-forming chamber by curving and projecting the moving substrate web to form a columnar portion to be the circumferential wall of the film-forming chamber as the substrate is moving from the pay-out mechanism toward the take-up mechanism; introducing a film-forming raw material gas through a gas feeder into the film-forming chamber; and simultaneously, radiating a microwave energy in the film-forming chamber by using a microwave applicator, which is so designed that it can radiate a microwave energy in the direction parallel to the microwave propagating direction, to generate plasma in the film-forming chamber, thereby continuously forming a deposited film on the inner wall face of the continuously moving circumferential wall exposed to the plasma.

摘要:
Illuminance distribution measuring method and apparatus, in which the quantity of light on an area irradiated by a light beam emitted from a light source is detected by a combination of first and second detectors. The first detector is movable along the area to be irradiated and detects the quantity of irradiating light incident on the area to be irradiated while moving along the area irradiated. The second detector is fixedly secured at a predetermined position relative to the light source and the area to be irradiated and receives the light beam emitted from the light source to irradiate the area to be irradiated. On the basis of the outputs from the first and second detectors, the illuminance distribution on the area irradiated is accurately measured irrespective of any intensity changes of the light beam emitted from the light source.
摘要:
In a deposited-film formation apparatus or process having the means or steps of evacuating the inside of an inside-evacuatable chamber through an evacuation piping by an evacuation means, feeding a material gas into the chamber while evacuating the inside of the chamber, and applying a high-frequency power to form a deposited film on a substrate disposed inside the chamber, a leak is detected on the basis of a measured value of a temperature sensor which detects the heat of reaction that is generated when the material gas fed into the chamber reacts with oxygen contained in air having entered from the outside, so as to be able to stop the material gas feeding.In deposited-film formation apparatus or processes making use of spontaneously ignitable gases, the leak can quickly be detected when air enters the chamber because of any unexpected accident such as a break of piping.
