  • Publication number: 20080085604
    Abstract: The present invention develops a process for plasma treatment using a gas having no greenhouse effect in order to realize global environmental preservation and sophistication of plasma process performance and provides a process for plasma etching with high accuracy which process can depress damage to devices. The process for plasma treatment according to the present invention comprises the steps of feeding a treatment gas containing fluorine gas (F2) into a plasma generating chamber, alternately repeating application of high frequency electric field and stop of the application thereof to generate plasma, and carrying out substrate treatment by irradiating the plasma to a substrate. Furthermore, the substrate treatment may be carried out by individually or alternately extracting negative ions or positive ions from the plasma, or selectively extracting only negative ions, neutralizing them, to generate a neutral beam and irradiating the neutral beam to the substrate.

  • Patent number: 6955801
    Abstract: A step (1) of heating a fluoronickel compound to release a fluorine gas, a step (2) of allowing a fluorine gas to be occluded into a fluorinated compound, and a step (3) of heating the fluoronickel compound and reducing an inner pressure are conducted in a container, respectively, at least once, and thereafter a high-purity fluorine gas is obtained in the step (1). Also, a step (5) of heating a fluoronickel compound and reducing an inner pressure and a step (6) of allowing a fluorine gas reduced in a hydrogen fluoride content to be occluded into the fluoronickel compound are conducted in a container having a fluorinated layer formed on its surface, respectively, at least once, the step (5) is further conducted, and thereafter a fluorine gas containing impurity gases is contacted with the fluoronickel compound to fix and remove the fluorine gas, and the impurities are analyzed by gas chromatography.

  • Publication number: 20050115674
    Abstract: Exhaust gas containing fluorine gas or halogen fluoride gas emitted from etching or cleaning steps is burned in a combustion chamber having a fluoride passivation film formed on its surface. It is possible to treat exhaust gas emitted from semiconductor fabrication processes which contains fluorine gas or halogen fluoride gas in high concentrations or large volumes, while abatement treatment can be accomplished safely and efficiently with less energy usage.

  • Patent number: 6609540
    Abstract: A supplying method and a supplying apparatus for supplying fluorine gas, in which when a fluorine-occluding substance is used for the fluorine gas-generating means, a necessary amount of fluorine gas can be stably and swiftly supplied to have a uniform concentration to &a chamber of an excimer laser device or the like even at running, to say nothing of the gas exchange time. In a fluorine gas-generating means, fluorine gas is generated at the use point by controlling a fluorine-occluding substance to a predetermined temperature, the fluorine gas is introduced into a mixing container, a diluting gas is introduced into the mixing container to mix it with the fluorine gas to prepare a fluorine mixed gas having a predetermined pressure and a predetermined fluorine gas concentration, and the fluorine mixed gas reserved in the mixing container is supplied to a use side such as chamber, using the pressure difference.
