実状であった。However, the reaction process in forming silicon deposited films by the conventionally popular plasma CVD method is considerably more complicated than that of the conventional CVD method, and there are still many unknowns about the reaction mechanism. do not have. In addition, there are many formation parameters for the deposited film (e.g., substrate temperature, flow rate and ratio of introduced gas, pressure during formation, high frequency power, electrode structure, reaction vessel structure, pumping speed, plasma generation method, etc.). Due to the combination of many parameters, the plasma becomes unstable at one time, often having a significant adverse effect on the deposited film formed. Moreover, it is necessary to select device-specific parameters for each device, making it difficult to generalize manufacturing conditions.

At present, it is considered best to form by plasma CVD method.

管理項目も複雑になり、管理許容幅も狭く、装置の調整

き問題点として指摘されている。However, depending on the application of the silicon deposited film, it is necessary to satisfy the requirements of surface drying, film thickness uniformity, and film quality uniformity in order to achieve reproducible mass production.
Forming a silicon deposited film using the VD method requires a large amount of equipment investment for mass production equipment, and the management items for mass production are complicated, the tolerance range for management is narrow, and equipment adjustments are delicate. , these have been pointed out as problems that should be improved in the future.

いる。Furthermore, in the case of the plasma CVD method, since plasma is directly generated by high frequency waves or microwaves in the film forming space where the substrate to be film is placed, the generated electrons and large number of ions are The seeds damage the film during the film formation process, causing deterioration in film quality and non-uniform film quality.

ズマを成膜空間まで輸送することで、成膜に有効な化学
種を選択的に使用出来る様に計ったものである。The indirect plasma CVD method generates plasma using microwaves or the like at an upstream location away from the film-forming space, and transports the plasma to the film-forming space to selectively use chemical species that are effective for film-forming. It was planned to be possible.

こと等の問題点は残端している。However, since the plasma CVD method also requires plasma transport, the lifetime of the chemical species effective for film formation must be long, which naturally limits the species of waste that can be used.
Various deposited films cannot be obtained, a large amount of energy is required to generate plasma, and the generation and production of chemical species effective for film formation cannot be easily controlled. Problems remain.

がある。In contrast to the plasma CVD method, the photo-CVD method uses I & II! during film formation. 2.It is advantageous in that it does not generate ion species or electrons that damage quality, but there are not so many types of light sources, the wavelength of the light source is biased towards ultraviolet, and if it is to become a T industry, it will be large. The light source and its power supply are required, and the window that introduces the light from the light source into the deposition space is covered with a film during deposition, so the amount of light decreases during deposition, and in the end, the light from the light source enters the deposition space. There is a problem that the light will not be incident on the area.

出来る。1. As mentioned above, there are still many issues to be solved in the formation of silicon deposited films, and we are trying to save energy with low-cost equipment while maintaining its practical characteristics and uniformity. There is a strong desire to develop a formation method that allows premature birth. These problems can be cited as similar problems to be solved in other functional films, such as silicon nitride films, silicon carbide films, and silicon oxide films.
