    摘要: Provided are a film-forming apparatus and a film-forming method capable of preventing complication of an apparatus mechanism in formation of a thin film of multiple materials by sputtering to simplify the apparatus mechanism and preventing an increase in an apparatus cost. The film-forming apparatus includes a vacuum chamber, a substrate holder for holding a substrate, cathode mechanisms for supporting targets respectively so that the targets can be opposed to the substrate in the vacuum chamber, and shutters movable forward and backward individually between the targets made of different materials and the substrate to block or pass film-forming particles generated from the targets. At least one of the shutters is formed of a target material different from those for the targets so that the at least one of the shutters is configured as a shutter that also functions as a target.

    摘要: The present claimed invention is a film forming system 1 that forms a film by vaporizing a liquid precursor and then depositing the vaporized liquid precursor on a substrate 2, and comprises a chamber 3 inside of which the substrate 2 is held, an injection valve 4 that directly injects the liquid precursor into the chamber 3, and a control unit 11 that alternately sets a supplying period while the liquid precursor is directly injected into the chamber 3 to supply the liquid precursor in a vaporized state and a supply halt period while the liquid precursor is not supplied into the chamber 3 and controls the supplying period and the supply halt period by periodically opening and closing the injection valve 4 so as to intermittently supply the liquid precursor into the chamber 3, and is characterized by that the control unit 11 controls the supply halt period to be equal to or longer than a migration/evaporation period necessary for atoms or molecules of the liquid precursor deposited on the substrate 2 to migrate and necessary for a reaction by-product material generated on the substrate 2 to evaporate. An object of this invention is to generate a thin film of high grade having less impure substances.

    摘要: A semiconductor or nonconductor vapor is generated by sputtering targets 11U, 11D in a first sputtering chamber 10, while a metal vapor is generated by sputtering targets 21U, 21D in a second sputtering chamber 20. The semiconductor or nonconductor vapor and the metal vapor are aggregated to clusters during travelling through a cluster-growing tube 32 and injected as a cluster beam to a high-vacuum deposition chamber 30, so as to deposit composite clusters on a substrate 35. The produced composite clusters are useful in various fields due to high performance, e.g. high-sensitivity sensors, high-density magnetic recording media, nano-magnetic media for transportation of medicine, catalysts, permselective membranes, optical-magnet sensors and low-loss soft magnetic materials.

    摘要: A sputter transport device comprises a sealed chamber, a negatively-biased target cathode holder disposed in the chamber, and a substrate holder disposed in the chamber and spaced at a distance from the target cathode. A target cathode is bonded to the target cathode holder. A magnetron assembly is disposed in the chamber proximate to the target cathode. A negatively-biased, non-thermionic electron/plasma injector assembly is disposed between the target cathode and the substrate holder. The injector assembly fluidly communicates with a gas source and includes a plurality of hollow cathodes. Each hollow cathode includes an orifice communicating with the chamber. The device can be used to produce thin-films and ultra-thick materials in polycrystalline, single-crystal and epitaxial forms, and thus to produce articles and devices that are useful as metallic or insulating coatings, and as bulk semiconductor and optoelectronic materials.
