Abstract:
A gate valve and a manufacturing apparatus of a semiconductor are provided to improve availability ratio of a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus by preventing generation of a particle due to deterioration of a sealing member. A process is performed in a process room(10). A transfer room(8) transfers a substrate to be processed. A gate valve of a process room side opens and closes an opening part of the process room side. A sealing member seals a gap between the opening part of the process room and a valve body of the gate valve of the process room side. A gate valve(20) of a transfer room side opens and closes an opening part of a transfer room side. An insulating material(30) prevents thermal conduction between the gate valve of the process room side and the gate valve of the transfer room side.
Abstract:
This invention provides a shower plate comprising gas release hole members (ceramic member or porous gas flow body) bonded by sintering integrally without any space and disposed, for plasma back flow prevention purposes, within vertical holes in a shower plate. The above constitution is advantageous in that the gas release member does not come off from the vertical holes during use of the shower plate, there is no variation in the amount of gas released from each vertical hole, the back flow of plasma can be more fully prevented, and plasma excitation with high efficiency can be realized. A shower plate (105) is disposed in a treatment chamber (102) in a plasma treatment apparatus, and plasma excitation gas is released into a treatment chamber (102) for generating plasma. A ceramic member having a plurality of gas release holes having a diameter of 20 mum to 70 mum and/or a porous gas flow body having pores having a maximum diameter of not more than 75 mum in communication with each other in the gas flow direction are bonded by sintering integrally with the inside of each of a number of vertical holes (105) as a release path for plasma excitation gas.

Abstract:
본 발명은 비유전율을 낮게 억제하면서도 탄성율이 높고, 또한 열수축률이 작은 비결정 탄소막 및 그 막을 구비한 반도체 장치, 그리고 비결정 탄소막을 성막하는 기술을 제공한다. 성막 시에 Si(실리콘)의 첨가량을 제어하면서 비결정 탄소막을 성막한다. 이 때문에, 비유전율을 3.3 이하의 낮은 값으로 억제하면서도 탄성율이 높고, 또한 열수축률이 작은 비결정 탄소막을 얻을 수 있다. 따라서 이 비결정 탄소막을 반도체 장치를 구성하는 막으로서 이용한 경우에 막 박리 등의 결함을 억제할 수 있다.
