摘要： In a thin-film deposition method, a substrate is placed in a heat chamber having a pressure equal to or higher than an atmospheric pressure, and the substrate is heated in the heat chamber by supplying gas having a temperature higher than a room temperature by forced convection. The heated substrate is transferred from the heat chamber into a deposition chamber which is a vacuum chamber connected to the heat chamber directly or indirectly with a valve interposed therebetween. Then, a thin-film deposition is carried out on the substrate in the deposition chamber at a deposition temperature higher than the room temperature.

摘要： Object of this invention is to provide a plasma CVD method capable of forming a microcrystalline silicon film at low hydrogen gas flow rate, thereby providing a low-cost microcrystalline silicon solar cell.In the plasma CVD method forming the microcrystalline silicon film, plural antennas are arranged to form an antenna array structure in a vacuum chamber. One end of each antenna is connected to a high frequency power source and anther end is grounded. Substrates are placed facing the antenna arrays, and the substrate temperature is kept between 150 and 250° C. Plasma is generated by introducing gas mixture of hydrogen and silane to the chamber, and by introducing high frequency power to the antennas. When hydrogen/silane gas flow ratio is controlled in the range from 1 to 10, microcrystalline silicon films are formed on the substrates with the ratio Ic/Ia between 2 and 6, whereas Ic and Ia are the Raman scattering intensity at around 520 cm−1 and at around 480 cm−1, related to crystalline silicon and amorphous silicon, respectively

摘要： A plasma processing apparatus is of an internal electrode type, and an inductive coupling type electrode arranged facing a substrate has a shape formed by bending back a conductor at its central portion. A high frequency power is supplied to an end of the electrode so that a standing wave of half wavelength are produced at straight portions formed by bending back the electrode to make an antinode there and thus a plasma discharge is generated around the electrode. The controlled standing waves with its antinodes positively generated at the straight portions of the electrode are effectively used.

摘要： An apparatus for forming thin films forms a plurality of thin films in a single chamber by sequential formation of at least a first and a second thin film on a substrate by an antenna type plasma CVD method. This apparatus is provided with a residual material removal apparatus, which removes from the chamber residual materials resulting from the step for forming the first film and which affect the properties of the second film. A method and an apparatus for forming films and a solar cell removes residual material (including material gas) resulting in the step for forming the first film which have an effect on the properties of the second film. Since a plurality of films are deposited inside a single chamber, it is unnecessary to provide a plurality of chambers, thus enabling the apparatus and solar cell to be more compact and of reduced cost.
