  • Patent number: 6399428
    Abstract: A manufacturing process OF a thin film transistor is provided, in which occurrence of a dry spot and occurrence of an etch residue of an ohmic contact layer (n+a-Si:H film) due to the dry spot are prevented in photoengraving process for patterning a semiconductor layer and the ohmic contact layer into an island, without any further treatment by any other apparatus. After forming the a-Si:H film 4a which forms the semiconductor layer of the TFT and the n+a-Si:H film 5a which forms the ohmic contact layer, a N2 gas plasma discharge is continuously performed using the same plasma CVD apparatus, thereby forming a very thin silicon nitride film 6 having a hydrophilic property on a surface layer of the n+a-Si:H film 5a.

  • Patent number: 5387843
    Abstract: The present invention aims to extract a large electron beam and extend the service life of an electron source by effectively radiating an electron beam with low energy from a plasma chamber toward an ion extraction port, and optimally neutralizing space charges of ions in the vicinity of the ion extraction port. An electron source is installed behind a plasma chamber to control an extraction power supply, an electron accelerating power supply, and a lens power supply. Thereby, an electron beam is extracted from the power source, and accelerated. Then, the electron beam is carried through an electric field lens at a high speed, decelerated in the vicinity of the plasma chamber, then converged to radiate toward the ion extraction port. An aperture is installed at a crossover point of the electron beam to diminish backward flow of ionic gas from the plasma chamber to the electron source.

  • Patent number: 5329129
    Abstract: There is disclosed an electron shower apparatus which eliminates the adverse effect of a magnetic field on electrons and which provides electrons in sufficient quantity when primary electrons having low energy are employed. In the apparatus, the magnetic field generated by a filament current is decreased or eliminated by pulsing the filament current or by passing a current opposite in direction to the filament current in the vicinity of the filament current.
