| Research Abstract |
Main objective of this research was the development of a photo-induced cleaning device by use of a vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) rare gas excimer lamp. I have made the following accomplishments during last three-year research term.
[1]Development of high-power raregas excimer lamps : This is a heart of present research. By optimizing the electrode configuration and power supply of a rare gas excimer lamp device, I have obtained an output power density of more than 1 mW/cm^2 126 nm, which is a champion data at such a short wavelength emission source. I was also successful to simplify vacuum handling system for the device.
[2]Super dry, process : By use of the device developed in [1], I was successful to make a photo-induced etching of an oxidized layer on a silicon wafer without using any reactive gases. This device was also useful to make photo-induced cleaning of metal-coated. optics and surface alteration of various polymers.
[3]VUV F2 lamp : In addition to the Ar2* excimer lamp at 126 nm, I

have studied an F2 lamp at 157 nm. In spite of reactive nature of the F2, stable long-term operation was made possible by optimizing gas handling and impurity analysis.
[4]Dry process : To increase the etching process rate, I have used a reactive gas for the oxidized layer etching. By use of this gas, the rate increased more than one order of magnitude, which would give this method reality.
[5]Development of coherent VIJY emission source : As described above, the photo-induced process by use of incoherent lamps is very effective, but inevitably slow. High-power VUV light source would increase the rate orders of magnitude. I have thus developed a high-power coherent 126 nm emission by use of electrons produced by optical field induced ionization process. I. observed a small-signal gain coefficient of 0.05/cm for the first time.
[6]Production of a photo-induced cleaning device : Based on the above scientific and engineering knowledge, I have designed a compact photo-induced cleaning device. With a help of a venture company originated from University of Miyazaki (Nano Tech Photon Corp.), a design became a real device. Less
