  • Patent number: 11925896
    Abstract: A gas separation method in which a rare as a first introduced gas and an impurity gas as a second introduced gas, are introduced into a raw material gas. Each of the flow rates of the first and second introduced gases is controlled based on the flow rates of the rare gas and impurity gas in the discharged gas from a rare gas using facility. A gas separation device includes an introduction pipe for introducing rare gas in a separation gas container into a raw material gas, an introduction pipe for introducing impurity gases in the separation gas container into the raw material gas, a flow meter provided in a supply pipe for supplying a discharged gas of a rare gas using facility, and an arithmetic device electrically connected to each of the flow meter the flow rate controller, and the flow rate controller.

  • Patent number: 10280084
    Abstract: A method of reducing carbon and/or hydrogen atom content ratio relative to contents of silicon atoms and nitrogen atoms in a silicon nitride film formed by a plasma CVD method using an organic silane as a material, and improving film quality such as electrical properties. A silicon nitride film is formed with the organic silane and at least one additive gas selected from a group consisting of hydrogen and ammonia by a plasma CVD method. The silicon nitride film has a carbon atom content ratio of less than 0.8 assuming that a sum of a silicon atom content and a nitrogen atom content in the silicon nitride film is 1. The silicon nitride film has improved properties such as reduced leakage current.

  • Publication number: 20160251224
    Abstract: The invention provides a method capable of reducing carbon atom content ratio and/or hydrogen atom content ratio relative to contents of silicon atoms and nitrogen atoms in a silicon nitride film formed by a plasma CVD method using an organic silane as a material, as well as improving film quality such as electrical properties. A silicon nitride film according to the invention is formed by forming a plasma of an organic silane and at least one additive gas selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and ammonia by a plasma CVD method. The silicon nitride film has a carbon atom content ratio of less than 0.8 assuming that a sum of a silicon atom content and a nitrogen atom content in the silicon nitride film is 1. The silicon nitride film has a hydrogen atom content ratio of less than 0.9 assuming that a sum of the silicon atom content and the nitrogen atom content in the silicon nitride film is 1.
