摘要:
A trap mechanism is provided in the middle of an exhaust passage through which an exhaust gas, which is exhausted from a film formation device body that forms a thin film on the surface of a workpiece (W), flows, and recovers a gas to be collected that is contained in the exhaust gas by cooling and liquefying the gas to be collected. The trap mechanism includes: a housing having a gas inlet and a gas outlet; a partitioning member that partitions the inside of the housing into retention spaces; communication paths that communicate the retention spaces with one another; and cooling jackets that cool the communication paths to cool the exhaust gas. With this structure, the exhaust gas is adiabatically expanded while being cooled, and the gas to be collected is efficiently cooled and liquefied.

A temperature adjustment device includes a pedestal to receive a substrate thereon, a first temperature control unit to set a first medium at a first temperature, and a second temperature control unit to set a second medium at a second temperature that is higher than the first temperature. A pedestal flow passage is provided inside the pedestal to allow the first medium and the second medium to flow therethrough by switching between the first medium and the second medium. A first flow passage through which the first medium flowing from the pedestal flow passage is allowed to flow is provided. A second flow passage through which the second medium flowing from the pedestal flow passage is allowed to flow is provided. A heat pump is connected to the first flow passage and the second flow passage to transfer heat between the first medium and the second medium.

A method of manufacturing a substrate includes: irradiating, along a first path, a laser beam emitted from a source onto a substrate, wherein the substrate includes a target layer of the laser beam, and wherein the substrate is disposed on a stage; and irradiating, along a second path, a portion the laser beam, which was emitted from the source and reached the target layer, by reflecting the laser beam back onto the target layer using a reflection mirror. An area of a second region of the target layer is greater than an area of a first region of the target layer, wherein the laser beam is irradiated along the second path in the second region, and the laser beam is irradiated along the first path in the first region.

Disclosed is a plasma processing apparatus in which a main control unit is capable of managing the processing situation of an exhaust gas in an exhaust gas processing unit through a dilution controller. The exhaust gas processing unit includes a detoxifying device connected to the outlet of a vacuum pump through an exhaust pipe, a dilution gas source connected to the exhaust pipe near the outlet of the vacuum pump through a dilution gas supply pipe, an MFC and an opening/closing valve installed at the middle of the dilution gas supply pipe, a gas sensor attached to the exhaust pipe on the downstream side of an end (node N) of the dilution gas supply pipe, and a dilution controller configured to control the MFC.
摘要:
A vacuum pump with abatement function which can prevent contamination of a process chamber without allowing products generated by exhaust gas treatment to flow back to the process chamber, and can reduce the amount of gas to be treated without allowing a purge gas and a diluent gas to be contained in an exhaust gas, and thus can achieve energy saving by reducing the amount of energy required for the exhaust gas treatment in an abatement part is disclosed. The vacuum pump with abatement function includes a vacuum pump to which at least one abatement part for treating an exhaust gas is attached. The vacuum pump comprises a dry vacuum pump having a main pump capable of evacuating gas from an atmospheric pressure and a booster pump for increasing an evacuation speed of the main pump, and the at least one abatement part for treating the exhaust gas is connected between the main pump and the booster pump.

A method for using a heat processing apparatus of a batch type includes performing a preparatory process for removing aluminum present as a metal impurity from a quartz inner surface of a process container, and performing a main heat process on product substrates held on a holder member in the process container after the preparatory process. The preparatory process includes placing a plurality of dummy substrates for allowing the metal impurity to be deposited thereon inside a process container with no product substrates placed therein; then, supplying a chlorine-containing gas and water vapor into the process container and heating the quartz inner surface of the process container at a process temperature, thereby applying a baking process onto the quartz inner surface to discharge the metal impurity from the quartz inner surface and deposit the metal impurity onto the dummy substrates; and then, unloading the dummy substrates with the metal impurity deposited thereon from the reaction container.

The molecular etcher carbonyl fluoride (COF2) or any of its variants, are provided for, according to the present invention, to increase the efficiency of etching and/or cleaning and/or removal of materials such as the unwanted film and/or deposits on the chamber walls and other components in a process chamber or substrate (collectively referred to herein as “materials”). The methods of the present invention involve igniting and sustaining a plasma, whether it is a remote or in-situ plasma, by stepwise addition of additives, such as but not limited to, a saturated, unsaturated or partially unsaturated perfluorocarbon compound (PFC) having the general formula (CyFz) and/or an oxide of carbon (COx) to a nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) plasma into a chemical deposition chamber (CVD) chamber, thereby generating COF2. The NF3 may be excited in a plasma inside the CVD chamber or in a remote plasma region upstream from the CVD chamber. The additive(s) may be introduced upstream or downstream of the remote plasma such that both NF3 and the additive(s) (and any plasma-generated effluents) are present in the CVD chamber during cleaning.
