  • Publication number: 20240006163
    Abstract: A monitoring method includes steps of (a) placing a substrate on a mounting stage of a processing chamber of a plasma processing apparatus; (b) supplying a pulsed wave of RF power with a predetermined duty ratio from an RF power supply connected to an antenna; and (c) monitoring a plasma state based on a converted value of a Vpp voltage of an output terminal of a matching unit arranged between the antenna and the RF power supply. The converted value of the Vpp voltage is obtained by converting the Vpp voltage of the output terminal voltage based on the duty ratio, the RF power, and correlation information indicating a correlation between the Vpp voltage and the RF power.

  • Patent number: 11718911
    Abstract: A deposition method includes causing aminosilane gas to be adsorbed on a substrate in which a recessed portion is formed on a surface of the substrate; causing a first silicon oxide film to be stacked on the substrate by supplying oxidation gas to the substrate to oxidize the aminosilane gas adsorbed on the substrate; and performing a reforming process on the first silicon oxide film by activating, by plasma, a first mixed gas including helium and oxygen, and supplying the first mixed gas to the first silicon oxide film.

  • Publication number: 20230045995
    Abstract: A doped electrode may be manufactured by doping an active material included in an electrode with an alkali metal in a dope solution containing a first aprotic solvent and an alkali metal salt. The doped electrode may be cleaned with a cleaning solution containing a second aprotic solvent that has a boiling point lower than that of the first aprotic solvent. The cleaning solution may be controlled such that a content ratio of the first aprotic solvent in the cleaning solution is 8 vol % or lower.

  • Patent number: 11479852
    Abstract: A method for dry cleaning a susceptor is performed after a substrate is removed from a processing chamber of a substrate processing apparatus. In the method, a cleaning gas for dry cleaning is supplied to a first region including a substrate receiving region in the susceptor. The cleaning gas is regionally supplied to a second region where the cleaning gas is difficult to reach when the cleaning gas is supplied to the first region.

  • Patent number: 11393673
    Abstract: A deposition method includes a first process performed by repeating causing aminosilane gas to be adsorbed on a substrate; causing a first silicon oxide film to be stacked on the substrate by supplying oxidation gas to the substrate to oxidize the aminosilane gas adsorbed on the substrate; and performing a reforming process on the first silicon oxide film by activating a first reformed gas by plasma and supplying the first reformed gas to the first silicon oxide film, and a second process, performed after the first process, by repeating causing aminosilane gas to be adsorbed on the substrate; causing a second silicon oxide film to be stacked on the substrate by supplying oxidation gas; and performing a reforming process on the second silicon oxide film by supplying a plasma-activated second reformed gas. The first reformed gas has a smaller effect of oxidizing the substrate than the second reformed gas.

  • Patent number: 10922974
    Abstract: It is estimated whether or not each of landmarks is an object to be noted for travel assist control by using an estimation line EL set in the reference frame. The estimation line EL is set to be substantially parallel to a borderline BL. The borderline BL is a line a line which separates a drivable area and an undrivable area of a vehicle. It is estimated that the landmark located on a center line CL side is the object to be noted for travel assist control. It is estimated that the landmark located on a borderline BL side is not the object to be noted for travel assist control.

  • Patent number: 10843692
    Abstract: A technology is provided in which not only the information on the first preceding vehicle ILV but also the information on the preceding vehicle group LVG ahead of the first preceding vehicle ILV is applied to the travel assist control. Firstly, specification processing of a preceding vehicle LV on the own lane is executed (step S1). Subsequently, landmark information on the preceding vehicle LV is graded (step S2). Subsequently, a shielding ratio SR of the preceding vehicle LV belonging to the preceding vehicle group LVG is calculated for each preceding vehicle LV (step S3). Subsequently, determination processing is executed whether or not to apply the information on the preceding vehicle group LVG to travel assist control (step S4).
