Description of the invention (1) The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor component manufacturing or its intermediate products, or components made with the same high demand, especially to the process unit during the manufacturing of semiconductor components. The so-called component here is a ready-to-use commercial product, which may be, for example, a semiconductor wafer. The “component” must be processed during manufacture, and it finally becomes the above-mentioned component. A component (for example, a wafer) can provide one or more components after processing. For example, when a processed wafer is used as a component, one or more wafers can be provided. The wafer is a so-called component. Each of the above-mentioned components is in particular an optoelectronic component, an optical component or a micromechanical component and its intermediate products. For the deposition of various thin layers in the above process, PVD (Pliysical Vapor Deposition) and CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) methods are competitive. When the above-mentioned layer deposition is performed by the CVD method, there are some problems, and the present invention takes these problems as a starting point. The conventional CVD layer deposition method can be distinguished according to the residual gas partial pressure (UHV) and the process pressure (APCVD, LPCVD), which is set before or during the time when the gas (program gas) to be reacted is transferred to this process. Generally it can be divided into: • APCVD (Atmospheric Pressure CVD), where the program pressure Pp is equal to atmospheric pressure. • LPCVD (Low Pressure CVD), where the process pressure PP is set in the range of 0.1 to 100 m bar. • UHV-CVD (Ulti.a-high Vacuum CVD), in which the remaining gas is 578215 V. Description of the invention (2) The maximum body partial pressure is 10-8 mbar and the program gas pressure is in the range of 10.1 to 1 (T5mbar) UHV-CVD method and LPCVD method are competitive in specific fields (especially SiGe technology) in the manufacturing of various components / intermediate products in a semiconductor process of sufficient quality. For example, it has been disclosed in US 5 181 964 A UHV-CVD method is known in which components in the form of circular plates are positioned vertically in batches and aligned horizontally with each other in the interior of the batch, transferred to the UHV-CVD reactor, and there Coating (a horizontal “stacking”). For UHV-CVD reactors, refer to US 5 607 511, and for conventional UHV-CVD processes, refer to US 5 298 452 and US 5 906 680. In addition, refer to BS Meyerson, IBM J. Res. Develop., Vol. 34, No. 6November l990. For the batch processing of each component, refer to the applicant's following documents: • US-A-6 177 129

• US-A-5 5 1 5 986 • 7S-A-5 693 23 8。 此處須指出:在本發明中若提及CVD製程,則是指非 電漿促進之製程,除非已指明其是電漿促進者。 在UHV-CVD方法之範圍(例如,藉由US 5 1 8 1 964中 所述之反應器)中,批次方法已爲人所知,其中多個構件 同時受到CVD製程,在LPCVD方法中通常只有單一之 構件受到CVD之作用。此二種方法由g需要較低之溫度 578215 五、發明説明(3 ) (須小心地進行構件之加工)而允許較小之塗層速率,則 只對單一構件進行C V D加工所用之系統就物料通量而言 與UHV-CVD方法(其可進行批次式之CVD加工)相比較 時是有缺點的。另一方面,在LPCVD方法中單一構件 之加工可在真空中以CVD方法或LPCVD反應器來自動 進行,其中包含先前-或隨後之其它加工過程或加工站。 在UHV-CVD方法中,製程中在無塵室周圍大氣中所 存在之構件批次輸送至UHV-CVD反應器或由該處輸送 出來,其中包含先前-或隨後之加工過程。 就工業上之製程而言,物料通量在品質需求已確保時 當然是一種決定性之因素,此時上述二種有競爭力之方 法並不是最佳的。 本發明之目的是提供一種組件或其中間產品之製造方 法,其在確保品質需求之情況下可消除上述之缺點;本 發明特別涉及製程單元。 本發明之目的以一種組件或其中間產品之製造方法來 達成,其中該組件 (a) 受到一種加工過程且 (b) 多個構件在超高真空之條件下同時受到CVD過程; 其中上述之加工過程同樣是一種真空過程且各構件在 真空中由該加工過程轉移至CVD過程。 本發明由上述有競爭力之方法中之一(即,UHV-CVD 方法)開始,其中各構件以批次方式在UHV條件下受到 CVD過程。但一種在CVD過程之前之加工過程同樣以 578215 五、發明說明(4) 真空過程來進行,且各構件亦在真空中由加工過程轉移 至CVD過程。以批次處理來進行之UHV-CVD過程之優 點仍保持著,此種優點只在LPCVD中已爲人所知, LPCVD中由於單一構件之力(]工而亦可輕易地達成一些優 點,即,以真空過程來達成上述塗層過程之前之加工過 程且同樣在真空中使該加工過程轉移至層沈積過程。在 習知之UHV-CVD方法中特別是該構件—輸送時先前在 加工過程中之臨界(critical)相位不會出現在無塵室周圍 之大氣中,大氣之純淨度在考慮最嚴格之規章時幾乎不 能掌握在所期望之範圍中。 在本發明之第二外觀中,本發明之目的以下述方式達 成:多個構件在超高真空之條件下同時受到一種共同之 CVD過程,這些構件是圓板形,其在水平方向中在超高 真空之條件下受到CVD過程。 在第二外觀中,由上述二種具有競爭力之方法中提供 UHV-CVD方法以達成本發明之目的。此外,在習知之 UHV-C VD方法中(其中構件以批次方法來處理),圓板形 之構件以批次方式(請參閱US 5 1 8 1 964)在各構件操控 前及/或操控後垂直地對準時是有缺點的且就組件之自 動化製程而言垂直對準有很大之妨礙性。 因此,本發明之上述目的亦可以下述方式達成:在各 構件之UHV-CVD批次加工中只要各構件是圓板形時, 各構件都可在超高真空之條件下以水平對準之方式受到 上述之CVD過程。• US-A-5 5 1 5 986 • 7S-A-5 693 23 8. It should be noted here that if the CVD process is referred to in the present invention, it refers to a process other than plasma promotion, unless it has been indicated that it is a plasma promoter. Within the scope of the UHV-CVD method (for example, by the reactor described in US 5 1 8 1 964), batch methods are known, in which multiple components are subjected to a CVD process at the same time. Only a single component is affected by CVD. These two methods require a lower temperature of 578215. 5. Description of the invention (3) (the component must be processed carefully) and allow a lower coating rate, then the system used for CVD processing of a single component Flux has disadvantages when compared with UHV-CVD method, which can perform batch CVD processing. On the other hand, the processing of a single component in the LPCVD method can be automated in a vacuum using a CVD method or an LPCVD reactor, which includes previous- or subsequent other processing processes or processing stations. In the UHV-CVD method, the components existing in the atmosphere around the clean room during the process are transferred to or from the UHV-CVD reactor in batches, which include previous- or subsequent processing processes. As far as industrial processes are concerned, material quality is of course a decisive factor when quality requirements have been ensured. At this time, the above two competitive methods are not optimal. The object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a component or an intermediate product thereof, which can eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages while ensuring the quality requirements; the present invention particularly relates to a process unit. The object of the present invention is achieved by a method for manufacturing a component or an intermediate product thereof, wherein the component (a) is subjected to a processing process and (b) a plurality of components are simultaneously subjected to a CVD process under the condition of ultra-high vacuum; wherein the above-mentioned processing The process is also a vacuum process and the components are transferred from the processing process to the CVD process in a vacuum. The present invention begins with one of the aforementioned competitive methods (ie, the UHV-CVD method), in which each component is subjected to a CVD process under UHV conditions in a batch manner. However, a processing process before the CVD process is also performed with 578215 V. Description of the Invention (4) The vacuum process is performed, and each component is also transferred from the processing process to the CVD process in a vacuum. The advantages of the UHV-CVD process in batch processing are still maintained. Such advantages are only known in LPCVD. Some advantages can be easily achieved in LPCVD due to the power of a single component. The vacuum process is used to achieve the processing process before the above coating process and the process is also transferred to the layer deposition process in a vacuum. In the conventional UHV-CVD method, in particular, the component is previously transported during processing. The critical phase does not appear in the atmosphere around the clean room, and the purity of the atmosphere can hardly be grasped in the expected range when considering the most stringent regulations. In the second appearance of the invention, the The object is achieved in the following manner: a plurality of components are simultaneously subjected to a common CVD process under the condition of ultra-high vacuum, and these components are disc-shaped, which are subjected to the CVD process under the condition of ultra-high vacuum in the horizontal direction. In appearance, the UHV-CVD method is provided by the above two competitive methods to achieve the purpose of cost invention. In addition, in the conventional UHV-C VD method (where components are approved Method), disc-shaped components in batches (see US 5 1 8 1 964) are disadvantageous when the components are aligned vertically before and / or after manipulation, and in terms of the automated process of the assembly The vertical alignment has great obstacles. Therefore, the above object of the present invention can also be achieved in the following manner: In the UHV-CVD batch processing of each component, as long as each component is in the shape of a circular plate, each component can be used in Subjected to the above-mentioned CVD process in a horizontally aligned manner under high vacuum conditions.

578215 五、發明説明(5 ) 在本發明之方法之第一外觀之較佳之實施形式中,其 與第二外觀相組合。本方法一方面是該加工過程是一種 真空過程且由此使各構件在真空中在U Η V條件下轉移 至CVD過程,但另須使已形成圓板形之各構件水平地對 準而受到上述之加工過程(例如,CVD過程)且在此種水 平對準中由加工過程轉移至CVD過程。 在製造上述形式之組件時,通常依據需求而在層沈積 之前直接使各構件淨化。在習知之UHV-CVD方法中, CVD中即將塗層之表面須去除污染物且生長氧化物,因 此須使用一種包含一種或多種加工步驟之淨化方法,其 通常在已稀釋之氫氟酸中對各構件進行加工(所謂HF-Dipping)而結束。在淨化方法之此最後之步驟之後,各 構件在儘可能短之時間內導入CVD程序室中,其在經由 無塵室大氣而輸送時可使待塗層之構件表面不會有新的 污染物。在本發明之方法之較佳之實施形式中,各構件 在真空中現在保持在淨化過程(其在CVD過程之前)及 CVD過程之間。 但本發明上述最後一種外觀中現在若各構件在真空中 最後轉移至CVD過程,則直接在CVD過程之前所進行 之加工過程本身未必是一種淨化過程,只要仍保持著真 空,則例如一種暫存過程或調溫過程可在淨化過程及 UHV-CVD過程之間進行。 在本發明上述二種外觀中之另一有利之方法中’只要 是圓板形之構件即須一方面以水平方式來定位且另一方 578215 五、 發明說明 ( 6) 面 垂 直 地 互 相 疊 堆 以 同時受到CVD過程。一種批次因此 可 形 成 圓 板 形 水 平 定 位之互相堆疊之各構件。 雖 然 可 使 各 構 件 以 批次方式受到一種加工過程(其在 CVD 過 程 之 前) ,其中特別使各構件以批次方式轉移至 CVD 過 程 , 則較佳 是 在CVD過程中藉由各別輸送來堆 疊 各 構 件 且 較 佳 是 亦 以各別輸送使堆疊被去除。 因 此 可 達 成 之 優 點是:在各構件之相對應之輸送操 控 中 又 可 使 用 各 別 輸 送,雖然在層沈積中可完全使用批 次 加 工 〇 這 對 半 導 體 組 件 之 製造因此特別有利,此乃因目前晶 圓 之 大 小 是 2 0 0 m it ix200mm或晶圓之直徑是200mm,批 次 輸 送 較 省 力 〇 利 用 本 發 明 之 方 法 中直至目前爲止之實施形式,其同 樣 使 用 本 發 明 之 CVD反應器或真空處理設備,則能自動 地 處 理 圓 板 形 之 組 件 (特別是大於2 0 0 m m X 2 0 0 m m之晶圓) 亦 可 處 理 至 少 3 00】 iimx300nim(或直徑至少是300mm) 之 組 件 0 相 關 之 構 件 越大,則在對批次輸送之各別操作 中 該 構 件 之 輸 送 越 有 利。利用本方法,則實際上不會對 晶 圓 大 小 有 所 限 制 〇 在 本 發 明 之 方 法 之 另一有利之實施形式中,各構件會 受 到 二 種 或 更 多 之 加 工操作,此時CVD過程是在超高真 空 下 進 行 各 構 件 在 真空中依序由一種操作轉移至另一 操 作 其 至 少 以 單 件 方式沿著線性-及/或圓形區段形 式 之 輸 送 軌 道 來 進 行 0 -8-578215 V. Description of the invention (5) In a preferred embodiment of the first appearance of the method of the present invention, it is combined with the second appearance. On the one hand, the method is that the processing process is a vacuum process and thus the components are transferred to the CVD process under the conditions of U Η V in a vacuum, but the components that have formed the circular plate shape must be horizontally aligned and subjected to The above-mentioned processing process (for example, a CVD process) is transferred from the processing process to the CVD process in such a horizontal alignment. When manufacturing components of the above-mentioned form, the components are usually purified directly before the layer is deposited, as required. In the conventional UHV-CVD method, the surface to be coated in CVD must be free of contaminants and oxides, so a purification method containing one or more processing steps must be used, which is usually performed in diluted hydrofluoric acid. Each component is processed (so-called HF-Dipping) and ends. After this last step of the purification method, each component is introduced into the CVD process chamber in the shortest possible time, which can prevent the surface of the component to be coated from being contaminated when conveyed through the clean room atmosphere. . In a preferred embodiment of the method of the invention, the components are now kept in a vacuum between the purification process (which precedes the CVD process) and the CVD process. However, in the last appearance of the present invention, if each component is finally transferred to the CVD process in a vacuum, the processing process performed directly before the CVD process itself is not necessarily a purification process. As long as the vacuum is still maintained, for example, a temporary storage The process or temperature adjustment process can be performed between the purification process and the UHV-CVD process. In another advantageous method of the above two appearances of the present invention, as long as the members in the shape of a circular plate, they must be positioned horizontally on the one hand and the other 578215 on the other. V. Description of the invention (6) The planes are stacked vertically on each other to Simultaneously subjected to the CVD process. A batch can thus be formed into disk-shaped horizontally positioned components stacked on top of each other. Although the components can be subjected to a batch process (before the CVD process), and in particular, the components are transferred to the CVD process in a batch manner, it is preferable to stack them by individual transport during the CVD process. The individual components, and preferably also the individual transports, cause the stack to be removed. Therefore, the advantage that can be achieved is that individual conveyances can be used in the corresponding conveyance control of each component, although batch processing can be completely used in layer deposition. This is particularly advantageous for the manufacture of semiconductor components. The size of the wafer is 200 m it ix200mm or the diameter of the wafer is 200mm, and the batch conveying is more labor-saving. Using the implementation form of the method of the present invention so far, it also uses the CVD reactor or vacuum processing of the present invention Equipment, it can automatically handle disc-shaped components (especially wafers larger than 2000 mm X 2000 mm) and at least 3 00] iimx300nim (or diameter at least 300mm) components 0 related components The larger, the more advantageous is the transport of the component in the individual operations on the batch transport. With this method, there is actually no limit to the size of the wafer. In another advantageous implementation of the method of the present invention, each component is subjected to two or more processing operations. At this time, the CVD process is performed at Under ultra-high vacuum, each component is sequentially transferred from one operation to another in a vacuum, and it is performed at least in a single piece along a linear- and / or circular section in the form of a conveying track. 0 -8-

Description of the invention (7) The CVD process becomes a program station under the condition of ultra-high vacuum and is integrated in a multi-process process, that is, integrated into a Cluster process. The components can be freely programmed in a central transfer room in a vacuum or they can be transported from one process station to another in a predetermined sequence and processed there. In addition to the UHV-CVD process described above, the operations performed on the program station can be, for example, in / out operations, purification operations, other coating operations. 5 Etching operations, implant operations, air conditioning operations (for example, to achieve a predetermined Temperature), temporary storage operation. In another advantageous embodiment of the method, a plasma-facilitated reactive processing process must be performed on each component before and / or after at least one of the UHV-CVD processes used in the present invention. In the most advantageous implementation form > Reactive plasma-facilitated reactive processing is operated by low-energy plasma discharge. The ion energy E on the surface of the processed components is 0 eV < 15 eV. It is more preferably a combination of the CVD process of the present invention and the reaction n'M m process promoted by low-energy plasma, and the plasma-promoted CVD process (but especially the reactive purification process promoted by plasma). The advantage of this combination is that the low-energy plasma process before the UHV process can be optimally adjusted according to the surface conditions in terms of its surface effect during the UHV-CVD process. One or more low-energy plasma-promoted purification processes, especially in hydrogen- and / or nitrogen process gases, are carried out directly or using other intermediate processes (such as y air-conditioning processes) and before the UHV-CVD process. j Its conventional passivation can keep the related surfaces in the UHV-CVD process with extremely reliable purity. -9-

These decontamination methods allow the cleaned surfaces to be stored in air before being combined.

Fig. 1 is a vacuum processing apparatus of the present invention, and is particularly used for carrying out the manufacturing method of the present invention. The UHV-CVD reactor 1 has a carrier 3 for a batch of a plurality of components to be processed. With the vacuum pump configuration 5, the reaction chamber R in the reactor 1 can be pumped to a maximum pressure of 10-8 mbar. As required by the CVD process, a process gas or a mixture G thereof is introduced into the reactor 1 from a gas tank configuration 7, and in order to activate the process gas G, the components 4 on the carrier 3 are configured by heating as shown in the figure 9 and heated to the desired reaction temperature. The UHV-CVD reactor 1 has a loading / unloading port 1 1 which can be closed or opened by a valve.

In a preferred manner, the other chamber 17 (which is directly connected to the reactor 1 when the transport configuration T is in operation) is a vacuum chamber, as shown in FIG. 1 with a pump configuration 19, which is particularly a field ( insitu) Clean room. When the vacuum is not interrupted, each component is transported (T) from the chamber 17 to the reactor. The individual components are all processed simultaneously on the carrier 3 in a batch manner. Fig. 2 is similar to Fig. 1 and relates to the manufacturing method and the corresponding UHV-CVD reactor in the second appearance of the present invention. In the ultra-high vacuum CVD reactor 1b of the present invention, as shown in the vacuum pump configuration 5, under the ultra-high vacuum condition, the pressure corresponding to the residual gas partial pressure PR is drawn to a maximum pressure of ltT8mbar, and each component 21 is in a batch mode At the same time, it is fixed on the batch carrier 3a for CVD processing.

However, this isolation must be sufficiently tight so that gas will hardly diffuse from the reaction chamber R into the remainder of the reactor interior I during operation. In the CVD process, the total pressure in the rest of the reactor interior I is preferably selected to be smaller than the total pressure in the reaction chamber R. Inside the reaction chamber R is mounted a component carrier 57 which, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 4, can accommodate disc-shaped members made of wafers, which are positioned horizontally and stacked vertically. This is indicated by the double arrow W. The carrier 57 is vertically driven to move up and down. As shown in Figure 3, it is possible to individually receive disc-shaped members 21 in a batch manner or to deliver these members through the loading / unloading port (similar to the opening 1 la in Figure 3). To reach. According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the loading / unloading port passes through the wall surface 48a of the reaction container 48 and the wall surface of the reaction container 41 so as to alternately approach the parts of the reactor to the reaction chamber R.

A loading / unloading port 63 which can be closed by a slit valve 61 is provided in the wall surface 41a, which has a symmetry plane E which is at least almost formed with the container 48 in a closed state. The dividing line 65 (aligned between the upper part 48 of the reaction container 48 and the lower part 48u) is aligned. The loading and unloading of the reactor is performed in the following manner: The upper portion 48 of the reaction vessel 48. Ascending by the ascending mechanism 59, the carrier 57 also rises.

The heating arrangement 67 is installed in the remaining space 1 (which surrounds the reaction vessel 48), SP, and is installed in a vacuum. The heating arrangement 67 is constituted by a multi-zone radiant heater. In addition, in order to improve the temperature uniformity, a heat sink 6 9 (which is made of, for example, graphite) must be provided between the heating arrangement 67 and the reaction container 4 8 R. If the heat sink 69 is not provided as a single component, the scattering function can also be combined with the wall surface 48a of the reaction container 48. The method is to use a heat dissipating material (more It is preferably graphite) coated. The wall surface 48a can also be used as a diffuser.

Description of the Invention (22) A purification module, a storage module, and an implanted module. These multi-program stations and equipment can be constructed in a linear manner, that is, at least a large part of the conveyance of each component is performed in a linear manner between the respective program stations, but at least some of the program stations are grouped in a circle. The shape is arranged around the vacuum conveying chamber to form a circular device. These devices (where multiple program stations are operated in a vacuum via linear and / or circular conveyor paths) are commonly referred to as "Cluster Tool-Equipment". Fig. 7 is a Cluster Tool-Equipment according to the present invention, which is formed into a circular device according to the principle of Fig. 3; This device contains a small-box loading module 93 on the normal atmospheric side, commonly known as FOUP (Front Opening Unified Pod Module). The small cassette loading module 93 is used to accommodate at least one wafer cassette or component cassette 93a. During wafer processing, it can accommodate 25 vertically stacked horizontally positioned wafers. With another wafer handle 95 operating in a normal atmosphere, individual wafers can be transferred from the cassette 93a to the first lock chamber 97. After the lock chamber 97 is evacuated, each wafer is transferred to the purification module 99 again. This is achieved by the vacuum transfer chamber 101 and the wafer handle 101a which operates in a vacuum. In the purification module 99, high-temperature purification or other gas-phase purification or a purification using a low-energy plasma is performed in a hydrogen atmosphere (which will be described below). Depending on the chosen purification method, it is of course advantageous to arrange a plurality of purification modules in sequence and to perform separate purification steps on these modules. Preferably, a storage chamber 103 and a second purification module 99a are separately provided. The wafer is therefore -24-578215 V. Description of the invention (23) The gate chamber 97 can be simultaneously cleaned by entering the two purification modules 99 and 99a, and then cleaned by the handle 10a operated in a vacuum. In the storage compartment of the chamber 103. The number of wafers that can be contained in the UHV-CVD reactor 105 by the carrier is already located in the storage chamber 103. These two chambers 97 and 103 are constituted by cassette holders and become gate chambers. After the required number of cleaned wafers are placed in the storage chamber 103, the individual wafers are transported to the shown in Fig. 4 in a short period of time by the handle 10a which operates in a vacuum. After the CVD process is completed in the carrier 57 of the UHV-CVD reactor 105, the wafer is returned by the carrier 57 of the UHV-CVD reactor 105 to one of the two gate chambers 97 or 103, that is, placed in its cassette. In the middle and later, the corresponding lock chamber 97 or 103 is transported to the box of the small box loading module 93. Use the principles of Figures 1 to 3 above and the preferred UHV-CVD reactor in Figure 4 to transport each wafer, clean the wafer and perform UHV-CVD processing in batch configuration. The wafer is larger than 200mmx200mm Or its diameter 0 is greater than 200m, at least 300mmx300mm or diameter 0 is greater than 300mm. In addition to the batch configuration in the UHV-CVD process, in particular, individual wafers can be transported and other processes can be performed if necessary. Then describe the control sequence of the circular Cluster-Tool-Equipment in Figure 7. Wafers with a diameter of at least 200mm (or a size of 200mmx200mm) or a diameter of at least 3,000mm (or a size of 300mmx3 00mm) are loaded into -25-578215 V. Description of the invention (24) 7 The small box on the atmospheric side of the figure The input module 93 may include, for example, 25 wafers. The wafers are then conveyed from the cassette loading module 93 to the cassettes in the lock chamber 97 or 103 by the wafer handle 95. The individual wafers are loaded into the purification modules 99 and 99a by the cassette 97 in the lock chamber 97 or 103 through the handle 101a operated in the vacuum transfer chamber 101, and each wafer is cleaned there. The purification time is 1 to 10 minutes. The cleaned wafers are loaded into the unused gate chamber 103 or 97 by the purification modules 99 and 99a. The gate chamber 97 or 103 is now used as a temporary storage chamber. This step is achieved by the handle 1 0 1 a operated in the vacuum chamber 101. The time required to clean up 25 wafers and complete the transfer is 65 minutes. The purified 25 wafers in the cassette of the gate chamber 103 are now loaded into the UHV-CVD reactor 105 by the handle 101a. The purified 25 wafers are loaded into the carrier 57 from the temporary storage chamber 103 for batch processing in the UHV-CVD reactor 105 in 5 minutes. Now the coating process is started in the UHV-CVD reactor. The typical processing time for a p-doped SiGe layer system is 2 to 3 hours. During this period, new cassettes loaded with unprocessed wafers are introduced into the cassette loading module 93 and these wafers are purified in the purification modules 99 and 99a in the manner described above and temporarily stored in the cassettes of the gate chamber. After the UHV-CVD process is completed, the processed wafers are individually unloaded from the carrier 57 by the wafer handle 10a and stored in an empty box 97 or 103. From there, the handle 95a operated in the atmosphere is returned to the empty cassette in the cassette loading module 93.

It is better to use a DC plasma, and it is better to generate a low-voltage plasma by a thermionic cathode. The ion energy E formed on the surface to be coated or to be purified is: 0 < E $ 1 5 eV. Hydrogen and / or nitrogen can be used as the reaction gas for the above-mentioned low-energy plasma-promoted purification method. For the equipment in Figure 7, the purification process or the corresponding program station can be used directly before the UHV-C VD process. Low-energy plasma promotes reactive purification process. Using the method of the present invention, vacuum processing equipment or UHV-CVD reactors can be made into special components by depositing atomic layers, or by depositing epitaxial layers or deep contoured surfaces (for example, so-called deep The surface of the ditch) is coated to make special components.
