Gas-B has at least a H2O bearing compound or is preferably H2O. The method also includes a step of injecting a Gas-D downstream of the plasma source of said Gas C, and setting an object downstream of the Gas-D injection and downstream of the plasma source. The object has a surface to be processed. The method also includes a step of processing the surface of said object by a mixture species generated from the Gas-C in the plasma and the Gas-D.

    摘要: A discharge tube (31) provided inside the cavity of a waveguide (4) is so structured as to monotonously decrease the cross section of the cavity in the direction in which the microwave travels and thereby to close the cavity. The waveguide (34) has vent holes (34a, 34c) made through the tube wall. A metallic member (32) monotonously decreasing the cross section of the cavity in the direction in which the microwave travels and thereby closing the cavity is provided on the opposite side to the discharge tube (31) in the direction in which the microwave travels. A fluid is made to flow through the metallic member. A gas introducing port is provided in the discharge tube (31), and a gas exhaust port is provided also in the discharge tube (31) on the opposite side to the gas introducing port with respect to the center axis of the waveguide (34). Thus, no standing wave is generated from the time when a plasma is created, the plasma absorbs energy at high efficiency, the temperature at the wall of the discharge area little increases, and the density of active particles is high.

    摘要: A wafer surface treatment apparatus and method used in the apparatus including a treatment tank with a cylindrical inside with a bottom, a circular recess formed in the bottom of the tank, a plurality of lower fluid holes opened in the recess, and a horizontally long opening provided at lower part of the side wall of the tank. A movable wall is tightly but slidably installed in the cylindrical inside of the tank so that the movable wall forms a closed room with the recess when it comes into contact with the bottom of the tank. Also, a plurality of upper fluid holes are provided so as to communicate with the closed room, and a rinsing water and washing liquid supply/discharge device is connected to the upper and lower fluid holes. Surfaces of a semiconductor wafer is treated by placing one wafer in the recess, closing the opening, and then spouting a fluid (washing liquid and rinsing water) onto the both sides of the wafer repeatedly while the wafer is floating and rotated by a spouting force of the fluid in the closed room. The fluid used in the treatment is discharged from the tank while the treatment is being performed.
