Abstract

Despite the short lifetime of excited plasma gas, a very large number of wafers can be uniformly gas phase treated in the plasma state by using a single high frequency power supply coil or capacitor, not only for exciting reaction gas passing near the wafers in a reaction tube but also for heating radiators, surrounding the substrates, which heat the wafers.
