    摘要: An electron cyclotron resonance equipment generates plasma by application of a processing gas and microwave energy into a vacuum chamber having a wafer therein in an environment of reduced pressure. The equipment includes a horn antenna assembly mounted onto an uppermost end of the vacuum chamber for radiating the microwave energy supplied from a high-frequency generator into the vacuum chamber. The horn antenna enables extension and retraction in a lengthwise direction to change a flare angle of the horn antenna. The equipment is provided with a fixed antenna and a plurality of mobile antennas to configure a horn antenna assembly, thereby enabling control of the flare angle in the horn antenna as a result of displacement of the mobile antennas. Thus, the uniformity in radiation of the microwave energy within plasma chamber can be controlled with efficiency.

    摘要: A sputtering apparatus includes a sputtering chamber, a target disposed in the sputtering chamber, and a magnetic field generator for generating a rotating magnetic field at the front of the target. The magnetic field generator includes a main magnetic field-generating part that faces the back of the target and is horizontally (laterally) offset from a vertical line passing through the center of the target. A magnetic annulus of the main magnetic field-generating part forms a magnetic enclosure having openings therethrough at locations faced in the directions of the central and peripheral portions of the target. The magnetic field-generating part thus produces a magnetic field having a non-uniform distribution at the front of the target. A substrate is positioned within the sputtering chamber facing the front of the target. A metal layer is formed by sputtering atoms from the front of the target onto the substrate. The behavior of the sputtered atoms can be effectively controlled by the magnetic field.

    摘要: Disclosed are a spin transistor and a method of operating the spin transistor. The disclosed spin transistor includes a channel formed of a magnetic material selectively passing a spin-polarized electron having a specific direction, a source formed of a magnetic material, a drain, and a gate electrode. When a predetermined voltage is applied to the gate electrode, the channel selectively passes a spin-polarized electron having a specific direction and thus, the spin transistor is selectively turned on.
