A thin-film depositing apparatus which includes a reaction container adapted to receive a material gas therein, for a thin-film depositing reaction, a substrate supporting member located in a predetermined position in the reaction container in order to set a substrate on which a thin film is to be deposited, heating mechanism for heating the substrate supporting member to deposit the thin film, while heating the substrate, and a cover member covering, in a contacting or noncontacting manner, the whole surface of the substrate supporting member except a substrate bearing surface on which the substrate is to be set. The surface temperature of the cover member is kept lower than that of the substrate, so that an undesired film is restrained from being deposited on the surface of the cover member. Thus, a thin film of good quality can be deposited on the substrate surface with high efficiency.

A dry cleaning method of a substrate processing apparatus includes forming a metal oxide by oxidizing a metal film adhered to the inside of a processing chamber of the substrate processing apparatus; forming a complex by reacting the metal oxide with β-diketone; and sublimating the complex to be removed. A cleaning gas containing oxygen and β-diketone is supplied into the processing chamber while heating the inside of the processing chamber. A flow rate ratio of oxygen to β-diketone in the cleaning gas is set such that a formation rate of the metal oxide is lower than a formation rate of the complex.

A film forming method includes a step of arranging a wafer, on which an insulating film is formed, in a processing chamber of a film forming apparatus and a surface modification step of supplying a compound gas containing silicon atoms and an OH group-donating gas into the processing chamber so that Si—OH groups are formed on the surface of the insulating film. The film forming method further includes a film forming step of supplying a film forming gas containing a manganese-containing material into the processing chamber so that a manganese-containing film is formed on the surface of the insulating film on which the Si—OH groups have been formed through a CVD method.

A film forming method is disclosed in which a thin film comprising manganese is formed on an object to be processed which has, on a surface thereof, an insulating layer constituted of a low-k film and having a recess. The method comprises a hydrophilization step in which the surface of the insulating layer is hydrophilized to make the surface hydrophilic and a thin-film formation step in which a thin film containing manganese is formed on the surface of the hydrophilized insulating layer by performing a film forming process using a manganese-containing material gas on the surface of the hydrophilized insulating layer. Thus, a thin film comprising manganese, e.g., an MnOx film, is effectively formed on the surface of the insulating layer constituted of a low-k film, which has a low dielectric constant.

Image forming apparatus, which prevents the occurrence of displacement of the positions of pixels between image data items forming a synthetic image, and eliminates distortion of a character and color shift in character regions and non-character regions. An image size adjustment section obtains, when synthesizing a plurality of image data items to create one image, a remainder by dividing the number of vertical and horizontal pixels of input image data by a least common multiple of the ratio of resolutions of a plurality of image data items, for vertical and horizontal directions of the image. The input image data is processed by means of the result of computing the remainder, so that the remainder becomes 0 when obtaining the remainder by dividing the number of vertical and horizontal pixels of the input image data by the least common multiple of the ratio of the resolutions of the image data items.
摘要:
A particle feed apparatus is combined with a jet mill and has a particle feeder for feeding particles to an air injector that injects particles together with particle carrying air into the jet mill. The particle feed apparatus is a closed structure isolated from the environment. The use of the closed particle feed apparatus prevents the backflow of dust-loaded air that occurs in a milling system formed by combining a jet mill and an open particle feed apparatus. The use of the closed particle feed apparatus improves the working environment, enhances the milling ability of the jet mill and facilitates operations.
