Next, cover unit 10 is covered on the parts 20,30,50, by lag bolt 91 framework 20 is fixed in cover unit 10, grounding electrode 40 is fixed in framework 20, with the bolt 93 of intermediate length electric field is applied side dielectric components 50 and be fixed in cover unit 10 with stay bolt 92.Because it is fastening that these bolts 91,92,93 all towards equidirectional (vertically), therefore need not to carry out simultaneously, and can carry out bolted in any order easily.
When carrying out surface treatment, object being treated is placed on the object being treated configuration portion 2 with the plasma treatment appts of said structure.
Then, get along alone in the future the regulate the flow of vital energy processing gas of body source 4 is supplied with road 4a via gas and is imported road 20a to the gas of handling 1 and supply with.This processing gas flows into to sidepiece gap 1c equably from a plurality of gas introduction port 20b, and further imports to underclearance 1b.
Carry out simultaneously applying electrode 30 service voltages to electric field from power supply 3.Thus, apply between electrode 30 and the grounding electrode 40 at electric field and to produce Atomospheric pressure glow discharge, the central portion of underclearance 1b becomes discharge space 1p, with the processing gas of this space 1p by plasma (comprise decomposition, excitation, activate, intensify, ionization).
Make processing gas after the plasma via ejection guide hole 62 from ejiction opening 41 processing space 1a ejection downwards, and contact with object being treated W.Thus, produce reaction, carry out desirable surface treatment on the surface of object being treated W.Moreover, by about scanning object being treated configuration portion 2, can handle the integral body of object being treated W.
Because the inner face of the ejection guide hole 62 of ground connection side dielectric components 60 is more outstanding to the inside than the inner face of the ejiction opening 41 of grounding electrode 40, observe if therefore apply electrode 30 sides from electric field, then the circumference of the ejection guide hole 62 of dielectric components 60 covers the inner face of ejiction opening 41.Therefore, the paradoxical discharge that can prevent electric arc etc. drop on ejiction opening 41 inner face particularly go up ora terminalis 41a.As shown in Figure 5, even there is the position error of dielectric components 60, the complete cycle of the last ora terminalis 41a of ejiction opening 41 is also necessarily covered by dielectric components 60.Thus, can prevent paradoxical discharge reliably.Thus, can stop the generation of metal impurities and particulate, and can prevent that these metal impurities and particulate are attached to object being treated W.
Next, another embodiment of the present invention is described.Structure about having stated adds same numeral and suitably omits explanation at accompanying drawing in the following embodiments.
Fig. 7 is the figure of variation of the shape of expression ejiction opening 41.Shown in this figure (a), in this variation, the internal diameter of the last ora terminalis 41a of the ejiction opening 41 in the grounding electrode 40 becomes bigger than the internal diameter of ejection guide hole 62, and ejiction opening 41 becomes the cone-shaped of downward undergauge.Therefore, the size of ejiction opening 41 is along with diminishing smoothly near the lower surface (treated side 43) of grounding electrode 40.The internal diameter of the following ora terminalis 41b of ejiction opening 41 (size of the end of treated side 43 sides) is littler than the internal diameter (size of the end of discharge face 42 sides) of last ora terminalis 41a.
Moreover shown in Fig. 7 (b), the internal diameter of the following ora terminalis 41b of ejiction opening 41 is identical with the internal diameter of ejection guide hole 62.That is, the size of the end 41b of the treated side side of ejiction opening 41 and shape are roughly consistent with the size and the shape of ejection guide hole 62.
Thus, the paradoxical discharge that can prevent electric arc etc. drops on particularly up and down ora terminalis 41a, the 41b of the inner face of ejiction opening 41, and can prevent that outside atmosphere is involved in ejiction opening 41.And then, carried out the processing gas after the plasma at discharge space 1p and during by ejiction opening 41, be extruded at once via ejection guide hole 62, can spray with sudden force from ejiction opening 41.Its result can improve treatment effeciency.
As shown in Figure 8, also ejiction opening 41 can be replaced with taper hole 41, make the part 44 of the upside (discharge face side) of ejiction opening 41 be major diameter, make the part 45 of the downside (treated side side) of ejiction opening 41 be minor diameter, between upper portion 44 and lower portion 45, form ladder 46, and make ejiction opening 41 for stepped.Upper portion 44 is bigger than ejection guide hole 62 diameters.Lower portion 45 and ejection guide hole 62 roughly the same diameters.
In variation shown in Figure 9, in that (Fig. 1~Fig. 5) inner face of identical ejiction opening 41 is provided with coating member 70 (sleeve) with first execution mode.Coating member 70 is by constituting with the independent insulator of ground connection side dielectric components 60.Become the preferred anti-isoiony of insulator and the high material of thermal endurance of coating member 70, preference such as fluorine resin, quartz, glass etc.
Coating member 70 becomes barrel shape.The inner face of the outer peripheral face of coating member 70 and ejiction opening 41 connects airtight.
The thickness of coating member 70 is identical with the width w1 of cascaded surface 64.Therefore, the inner peripheral surface of coating member 70 and the neat face of inner face that sprays guide hole 62.The inner space of coating member 70 links to each other with ejection guide hole 62 in the ejiction opening 41.The processing gas that has carried out plasma at discharge space 1p sprays via the inner space of ejection guide hole 62 by coating member 70.
According to this form,, therefore can prevent paradoxical discharge more reliably because the inner-surface coated cover 70 that is made of metal of the ejiction opening 41 of grounding electrode 40 covers.Because the inner peripheral surface of coating member 70 becomes the neat face of inner face with ejection guide hole 62, therefore can prevent the particulate generation from the last ora terminalis of the inner peripheral surface of coating member 70 etc.
As shown in figure 10, also can be only ejiction opening 41 and ejection guide hole 62 be separately positioned on the central portion of the Width of grounding electrode 40 and dielectric components 60.
If consider processability etc., then the section shape of ejiction opening 41 is preferably just round, but is not limited thereto, and can be ellipse or Long Circle, also can be for square grade polygon-shaped, also can be slit-shaped.
In execution mode shown in Figure 11, ejiction opening 41 and ejection guide hole 62 are the slotted hole shape.The major diameter of ejiction opening 41 and ejection guide hole 62 is each other towards equidirectional (at this for handling a length direction of 1).The major diameter of the draw ratio ejection guide hole 62 of ejiction opening 41 is big.The minor axis of ejiction opening 41 is bigger than the minor axis of ejection guide hole 62.The integral body of the inner space of ejection guide hole 62 links to each other with ejiction opening 41.Between the inner face of the inner face of ejiction opening 41 and ejection guide hole 62, be formed with cascaded surface 64.Cascaded surface 64 becomes long ring-type along the periphery of ejiction opening 41 and ejection guide hole 62.The ejiction opening 41 of a plurality of slotted hole shapes and ejection guide hole 62 form a line along a length direction of handling 1.Stagger along a length direction of handling 1 each other along the row of adjacent ejiction opening 41 of a short side direction of handling 1 and ejection guide hole 62, but these row each other also can be along a length direction alignment of handling 1.
In execution mode shown in Figure 12, ejiction opening 41 and ejection guide hole 62 become the slit-shaped of fully extending to a length direction of handling 1 than the slotted hole shape ejiction opening 41 of Figure 11 and ejection guide hole 62.The length of slit-shaped ejiction opening 41 is longer than the length of slit-shaped ejection guide hole 62.The width of slit-shaped ejiction opening 41 is bigger than the width of slit-shaped ejection guide hole 62.The integral body of the inner space of slit-shaped ejection guide hole 62 links to each other with slit-shaped ejiction opening 41.Between the inner face of the inner face of slit-shaped ejiction opening 41 and slit-shaped ejection guide hole 62, be formed with cascaded surface 64.Cascaded surface 64 becomes long ring-type along the ejiction opening 41 of slit-shaped and the periphery of ejection guide hole 62.
