(The checking of the quantity delivered of capture gas)
Then, the result according to more than, illustrates appropriate model of the quantity delivered relative to processing gas flow to capturing gas
Enclose the result verified.
The above results are to arrange ejection as the H of capture gas on one side of substrate2The gas jetting nozzle of gas, from this
H of the gas jetting nozzle supply as capture gas2Gas is captured obtained from impact of the gas to etch-rate to grasp, but
It is that the processing gas for actually supplying pass through four sides from the central part of substrate(Complete cycle 2400mm)Discharge.Therefore, checking below
Take and processing gas amount is scaled each edge for supplying capture gas to calculate the capture for needing relative relative to processing gas

Body, therefore, when they are all dissociated by plasma, the volume flow of Cl is 1200sccm.Therefore, the side of substrate is every
The conversion amount of the Cl of 500mm is 250sccm.On the other hand, as the H of capture gas2Gas is 50~100sccm, therefore, when
When they completely dissociate into, H is 100~200sccm.When the ratio of atomic weight is scaled, H atom amount relative to Cl atomic weighies is
40~80% scope.
In above-mentioned experimental example, processing gas amount is scaled into the atom flow to the supply of substrate each edge, phase is calculated
To the capture gas flow for needing.In fact, capture gas supply area is arranged on around substrate, accordingly, it would be desirable to capture gas
Body flow can be relatively defined relative to processing gas input amount.
Can be confirmed by above content:By supply as the H for capturing gas2Gas so that the H atom of unit interval supply
The scope that the ratio relative to the atomic weight of F, Cl, O in processing gas is 17~80% is measured, to the etching in substrate periphery portion speed
The control of rate has effect.
