  • Publication number: 20220171279
    Abstract: A pellicle intermediary body has a Si substrate, a Si oxide film formed on a surface of the Si substrate, and a Si layer formed on a surface of the Si oxide film. The Si layer includes a low COP (Crystal Originated Particle) portion which is a part where the number of COPs decreases as it approaches the surface of the Si layer and is formed in the part that constitutes the surface of the Si layer. A pellicle intermediary body, a pellicle, a method for manufacturing a pellicle intermediary body, and a pellicle manufacturing method that can improve the quality of the pellicle film are provided.

  • Patent number: 11231647
    Abstract: A pellicle and a method for manufacturing a pellicle that can improve the production yield ratio are provided. A method for manufacturing a pellicle comprises a step to prepare a supporting member containing Si, and a step to form a pellicle film on a top surface of the supporting member. The step to form the pellicle film includes: a step to form a SiC film with a first average carbon concentration on the top surface of the supporting member by carbonizing Si, and a step to form a SiC film with a second average carbon concentration different from the first average carbon concentration on the top surface of the SiC film. The method for manufacturing a pellicle further comprises a step to exposes at least a part of the reverse side of the SiC film by wet etching.

  • Patent number: 11119402
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing of a pellicle that can simplify the manufacturing process is provided. The method for manufacturing of a pellicle comprises a step for forming a SiC film on a bottom surface of a Si substrate, a step for bonding a supporting member including a through hole to a bottom surface of the SiC film, and a step for removing the Si substrate, after bonding the supporting member.

  • Patent number: 5399199
    Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus wherein a vacuum chamber is divided into two spaces, the substrate heating space and the crystal growth space, so that the degree of vacuum in the substrate heating space is set lower than the pressure for the Si growth and the degree of vacuum in the crystal space is set corresponding to the pressure for Si growth to thereby grow Si based semiconductor with excellent reproducibility over a long period. Moreover, heat efficiency toward the substrate is heightened by enclosing the upside and the circumference of the heating means with the heat shielding body to cut energy cost.
