摘要:
There is provided a plasma processing method performing a plasma etching process on an oxide film of a target substrate through one or more steps by using a processing gas including a CF-based gas and a COS gas. The plasma processing method includes: performing a plasma etching process on the oxide film of the target substrate according to a processing recipe; measuring a concentration of sulfur (S) remaining on the target substrate (residual S concentration) after the plasma etching process is performed according to the processing recipe; adjusting a ratio of a COS gas flow rate with respect to a CF-based gas flow rate (COS/CF ratio) so as to allow the residual S concentration to become equal to or smaller than a predetermined value; and performing an actual plasma etching process according to a modified processing recipe storing the adjusted COS/CF ratio.

A substrate cleaning device is capable of removing more diverse contaminants from substrates than ultra-low temperature aerosol ejection, while avoiding technical problems inherent to wet cleaning, such as micro-roughness, watermarks, loss of substrate material and destruction of the device structure. A substrate cleaning device for cleaning wafers to which cleaning target objects have adhered includes a cluster spraying unit which sprays the wafer with one or more types of clusters formed of cleaning preparation molecules agglomerated together, a suction unit which sucks the cleaning target objects separated by spraying the clusters of the cleaning agent molecules; and a unit for moving the wafer and the cluster spraying unit relative to the one another along the surface of the wafer W to which the cleaning target objects have adhered.

A substrate cleaning apparatus includes a supporting unit, provided in a processing chamber having a gas exhaust port, for supporting a substrate; one or more nozzle units, each for ejecting gas clusters to a peripheral portion of the substrate supported by the supporting unit to remove unnecessary substances from the peripheral portion; and a moving mechanism for changing relative positions of the supporting unit and the nozzle unit during ejecting the gas clusters. Each nozzle unit discharges a cleaning gas having a pressure higher than that in the processing chamber so that the cleaning gas is adiabatically expanded to form aggregates of atoms and/or molecules.

摘要:
In a cleaning method, a substrate having a pattern formed on the surface thereof can be cleaned by using a cleaning fluid, while preventing the pattern protrusions from being flattened when the cleaning fluid is removed or dried. The cleaning method includes the steps of: loading a substrate onto a loading platform inside a processing chamber; heating the substrate; and supplying a cleaning fluid onto the surface of the substrate. The substrate is heated in the substrate heating step so that the Leidenfrost phenomenon occurs and steam of the cleaning fluid is interposed between the substrate and droplets of the cleaning fluid supplied to the substrate in the cleaning fluid supply step.

An analysis apparatus includes a first process part for removing a film formed on a substrate by irradiating the film with ultraviolet light, a second process part for providing a solution onto a surface of the substrate for dissolving an object being analyzed on the substrate, and a third process part for analyzing the object being analyzed in the solution that is used in the second step.
摘要:
In a cleaning step of a substrate-processing device, vacuum drawing is made for the space between an inner chamber and an outer chamber that receives the inner chamber. Temperature of the inner chamber is set higher than the temperature of the inner chamber during substrate processing and set lower than the temperature of a substrate support member. After that, a cleaning gas containing hexafluoroacetylaceton (Hhfac) is supplied in the inner chamber, and substances to be cleaned off adhering inside the inner chamber are removed.
