  • Patent number: 6863732
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a heat treatment system and method for heat-treating an object to be treated. Particularly, the invention relates to a heat treatment system wherein an object to be treated is carried in a reaction vessel, which has been pressure-reduced to a predetermined degree of vacuum and the interior of which is heated to a predetermined process temperature, and a process gas is supplied into the reaction vessel via a gas feed passage to process the object.

  • Publication number: 20030106495
    Abstract: When an oxidation process for semiconductor wafers is carried out by a batch type furnace, the uniformity of the thickness of a film is intended to be improved so as to be capable of carrying out a low temperature process. In a system for feeding a mixed gas of hydrogen gas and water vapor into a reaction vessel to carry out a so-called wet oxidation, a ventilation resistance material is provided in an outside passage of a double-pipe passage for heating gas in an external combustion system, and a mixed gas of hydrogen gas and hydrogen chloride gas is passed through the ventilation resistance material to be heated to a process temperature or higher by means of the heater of the combustion system to previously produce a very small amount of water vapor to carry out a dry oxidation. When dinitrogen oxide gas is used for producing a nitrogen containing silicon oxide film, dinitrogen oxide gas is passed through the outside passage to be previously activated.
