- the potential of the plasma formed in the plasma chamber 25 between the electrodes 23 and 24 is substantially equal to the potential applied to the upstream electrode 23 and the mesh electrode 24.
- the gas to be introduced is SF 6 and the input high-frequency power is about 150 W.
- the diameter of the discharge tube 11 is 5 Omm0. In addition, the diameter of the discharge tube 11 can be l O to 3 OO mm0.
- a wiring 27 is provided between the wiring 26 connecting the upstream electrode 23 and the mesh electrode 24 and the beam emitting electrode 14 on the downstream side, and an accelerating voltage applying means 28 is connected.
- the accelerating voltage applying means 28 is a positive high voltage, and applies accelerating energy toward the beam emitting electrode 14 to positive ions existing near the mesh electrode 24. That is, a potential difference is given between the plasma potential of the plasma formed in the plasma chamber 25 and the beam emission electrode 14 by the acceleration voltage applying means 28. Then, in such a state, charged particles such as positive and negative ions and electrons leaking from the mesh electrode 24 to the acceleration space side are accelerated toward the beam emitting electrode 14.
- the distance between the mesh electrode 24 and the beam emission electrode 14 can be arbitrarily set.
- the acceleration distance can be arbitrarily set, and a beam having high directivity, high density, and a controllable energy level can be formed.
- Figure 3 shows the relationship between plasma electron density and sheath length.
- the sheath length tends to increase as the plasma potential (applied voltage) increases, and the sheath length tends to increase as the electron density decreases.
- the sheath length greatly affects the beam directivity. A longer sheath length can generate a beam with high directivity in principle.
- the electron temperature is 1.4 eV.
- the DC discharge method described in the prior art usually 1 0 9 ⁇ 1 0 1 Q / cm 3 approximately in the electron density, in many cases the plasma potential is used in 5 0 0 V to about 5 k V. In such a case, a sheath length of about 10 mm or more can be easily obtained.
- RF radio frequency
- the obtained sheath length is about 0.1 to 3 mm.
- the diameter of the beam emission hole is usually about 1 mm ⁇ . Therefore, when the sheath length, that is, the acceleration distance is only about 0.1 to 3 mm, distortion of the electric field of the sheath length due to the effect of the beam emission hole greatly affects the directivity. High acceleration becomes difficult.
- the present invention employs an electrode structure that enables high-directional beam emission even when high-density plasma is used. That is, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, by employing a mesh electrode 24 for partitioning the plasma chamber 25 and maintaining a proper distance between the mesh electrode 24 and the beam emission electrode, This problem has been solved.
- a cross mesh having a line width of 0.3 mm, a line distance of 0.8 mm, and a thickness of 0.3 mm is employed.
- the electrode is a metal electrode as shown in Fig. 4A and Fig. 4C or an opening in a conductive thin plate such as graphite or a braided metal wire as shown in Fig. 4B. But either is good.
- the shape of the mesh electrode greatly affects the characteristics of the beam obtained and the processing characteristics of the object to be irradiated.
- the mesh electrode 24 has a thickness of 1 mm or less, preferably about 0. .
- the shape of the opening pattern is generally, for example, a checkerboard shape as shown in the figure, but is not limited to this.
- the aspect ratio of the mesh holes is 1 or less. On the other hand, if the thickness is too large, the amount of ion deactivation increases, and the efficiency decreases.
- the beam amount, directivity, and processing speed have the following relationship with the mesh opening ratio. That is, as the aperture ratio of the mesh increases, the beam amount increases, the directivity decreases, and the processing speed increases.
- Mesh When the aperture ratio is small, the beam amount is small, the directivity is high, and the processing speed is low. Also, as shown in Fig. 5, when the opening ratio of the mesh is small, the processing shape of the object to be irradiated with the beam becomes oblique as shown in Fig. 5A, and the opening ratio of the mesh opening is appropriate. As shown in FIG. 5B, proper anisotropic etching can be performed, and when the opening ratio of the mesh is increased, isotropic etching is performed as shown in FIG. 5C.
- the distance between the mesh electrode and the beam emission electrode is low.
- the appropriate distance L exists.
- the horizontal axis represents the distance between the mesh electrode and the beam emission electrode
- the vertical axis represents the processing speed of the irradiated object.
- L about 10 to 30 mm, it is possible to generate a beam having good workability with respect to the irradiation target. If the distance L is too small, sufficient acceleration cannot be performed in the acceleration space. Therefore, the distance L is preferably at least 5 mm. It should be noted that, even under the same conditions, the processing speed varies depending on the distance L between the mesh electrode and the beam emitting electrode.
- the characteristics of the emitted beam greatly vary depending on the length of the beam emission hole 14a of the beam emission electrode 14. Therefore, it is necessary to select the length of the beam emission hole according to the purpose of use. Electrons, ions, radicals, neutral particles with low neutralization rate, etc. can be emitted up to about 1 to 5 times the hole diameter, and the beam spreads greatly downstream of the beam emission hole. When the hole length is 5 to 10 times the hole diameter, the beam directivity is improved, and the irradiation region of radicals and electron beams can be localized. In addition, the neutralization rate of the neutral beam is about 30% to 70%.
- the beam emitting electrode preferably has a plate thickness of 2 mm, and the beam emitting hole preferably has a ratio of the hole diameter to the hole length of 2 or more.
- the acceleration voltage applying means 28 By setting the acceleration voltage applying means 28 to a negative high voltage, the potential of the plasma formed in the plasma chamber 25 becomes a negative high potential.
- the beam emission electrode 14 By setting the beam emission electrode 14 to the ground potential, it becomes possible to accelerate a negative ion formed by plasma and emit a negative ion beam.
- the gas in this case, ⁇ 2, C 12, SF «, CHF 3, it is preferable to use a C 4 negative ions have Chasse product gas FB like. When high-density plasma is generated by high-frequency inductive coupling using these gases, a large number of negative ions are generated in the plasma, and a beam of negative ions can be easily formed.
- a positive ion beam that can be anisotropically processed at an accelerating voltage +50 V to 11 kV is generated using SF gas, and the processing speed is higher than that of the silicon substrate. It is 50 OA / min or more, and a negative ion beam is generated at an acceleration voltage of 50 V to 11 kV.

- the contact area with the plasma formed in the plasma chamber 25 increases, and the reaction amount of the charged particles on the electrode surface increases. And the plasma potential can be stabilized.
- Other configurations are the same as those of the beam source shown in FIG. 2, and the operation is also the same.
- a radical beam of a reactive gas particle having a film forming property or a low energy neutral particle beam is used.
- methane gas as a source gas for an energy beam source
