20080210167IMPURITY INTRODUCING APPARATUS AND IMPURITY INTRODUCING METHOD - It is an object to prevent functions expected originally from being unexhibited when impurities to be introduced into a solid sample are mixed with each other, and to implement plasma doping with high precision. In order to distinguish impurities which may be mixed from impurities which should not be mixed, first of all, an impurity introducing mechanism of a core is first distinguished. In order to avoid a mixture of the impurities in very small amounts, a mechanism for delivering a semiconductor substrate to be treated and a mechanism for removing a resin material to be formed on the semiconductor substrate are used exclusively.09-04-2008
20080233723PLASMA DOPING METHOD AND APPARATUS - There are provided a plasma doping method and an apparatus which have excellent reproducibility of the concentration of impurities implanted into the surfaces of samples. In a vacuum container, in a state where gas is ejected toward a substrate placed on a sample electrode through gas ejection holes provided in a counter electrode, gas is exhausted from the vacuum container through a turbo molecular pump as an exhaust device, and the inside of the vacuum container is maintained at a predetermined pressure through a pressure adjustment valve, the distance between the counter electrode and the sample electrode is set to be sufficiently small with respect to the area of the counter electrode to prevent plasma from being diffused outward, and capacitive-coupled plasma is generated between the counter electrode and the sample electrode to perform plasma doping. The gas used herein is a gas with a low concentration which contains impurities such as diborane or phosphine.09-25-2008

20090130335PLASMA PROCESSING APPARATUS, PLASMA PROCESSING METHOD, DIELECTRIC WINDOW USED THEREIN, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF SUCH A DIELECTRIC WINDOW - A method for performing plasma doping which is high in uniformity. A prescribed gas is introduced into a vacuum container from gas supply apparatus while being exhausted through an exhaust hole by a turbomolecular pump as an exhaust apparatus. The pressure in the vacuum container is kept at a prescribed value by a pressure regulating valve. High-frequency power of 13.56 MHz is supplied from a high-frequency power source to a coil which is disposed close to a dielectric window which is opposed to a sample electrode, whereby induction-coupled plasma is generated in the vacuum container. The dielectric window is composed of plural dielectric plates, and grooves are formed in at least one surface of at least two dielectric plates opposed to each other. Gas passages are formed by the grooves and a flat surface(s) opposed to the grooves, and gas flow-out holes which are formed in the dielectric plate that is closest to the sample electrode communicate with the grooves inside the dielectric window. The flow rates of gases that are introduced through the gas flow-out holes and the gas flow-out holes, respectively, can be controlled independently of each other, whereby the uniformity of processing can be increased.05-21-2009
