Patents Assigned to Apex Co. Ltd.
  • Patent number: 6886491
    Abstract: The present invention relates to chemical vapor deposition apparatus. In the chemical vapor deposition apparatus, an RF power source connection portionconnected to an external RF power source is installed on an upper side of a chamber; an RF electrode plate is installed within the chamber to be spaced with a predetermined gap from an inner upper surface of the chamber and to be spaced with a predetermined gap from a showerhead disposed below the RF electrode plate; plasma is generated in a first buffer portion, which is defined by a gap between the RF electrode plate and an upper surface of the showerhead, by means of the electric power applied from the external RF power source to the RF electrode plate; the showerhead is divided into two sections in a vertical direction and a second buffer portion is defined by a space between the two sections; reactant gases are supplied to the first buffer portion in which the plasma is generated; and source gases are supplied to the second buffer portion.

  • Publication number: 20010042799
    Abstract: There is disclosed a showerhead apparatus for radical-assisted deposition including a showerhead of a two-stair structure separated by a given distance, which has a first buffer for uniformly distributing a raw material gas and a second buffer for uniformly distributing a plasma gas, wherein a plasma is generated within the showerheads and the raw material gas sprayed into the plasma is constantly maintained, thus forming a uniform thin film on a wafer or a substrate.
