摘要:
A cleaning method for a semiconductor device manufacturing apparatus includes a process of forming a film on a subject piece in a processing chamber, applying light having a predetermined wavelength to a monitoring section to indirectly monitor a thickness of a film formed on the subject piece, introducing cleaning gas capable of removing a substance deposited on the monitoring section into the processing chamber, measuring a reflection light which is the application light reflected near the monitoring section, measuring an amount of a substance corresponding to a thickness of a film deposited on the monitoring section based on a measurement result of the reflection light; and introducing, into the processing chamber, a cleaning gas which can remove the substance on the monitoring section until a measurement value of the amount of the substance on the monitoring section becomes zero.
摘要:
To react the surfaces of a plurality of semiconductor substrates to be treated to reducing gas in a treating chamber, their corresponding members having surfaces opposite to those surfaces of the substrates on which semiconductor devices are to be manufactured, are arranged. The amount of reducing agent supplied to the surfaces of the substrates is controlled by controlling the reaction of the surfaces of the members to the reducing gas, and the progress of the reducing reaction to each of the substrates is controlled accordingly.

摘要:
A single crystal and a polycrystal having an excellent crystal quality and providing a highly reliable semiconductor device are formed by solid phase growth at low temperatures. An amorphous thin film is deposited on a substrate such that an average inter-atomic distance of main constituent element of the amorphous thin film is 1.02 times or more of an average inter-atomic distance of the elements in single crystal, and crystallization energy is applied to the amorphous thin film to perform solid phase growth to thereby form a single crystal. In another embodiment of the present invention, an amorphous semiconductor thin film is formed on a substrate or an insulating film such that an average inter-atomic distance distribution of main constituent element of the film substantially coincides with an average inter-atomic distance distribution of the element in a single crystal, and crystallization energy is applied to the amorphous semiconductor thin film to cause solid phase growth to thereby form a single crystalline semiconductor thin film.
