Abstract
Abstract Process for preparing a functional film deposited on a substrate having practically applicable characteristics which is usable as a photoconductive member in semiconductor device, image input line sensor, image pickup device on the like by generating an active species by subjecting a gaseous substance capable of being activated to generate said active species to the action of activating energy in an active species generating and transporting space leading to a film forming space containing the substrate; simultaneously generating a precursor by subjecting a gaseous substance capable of generating said precursor to the action of activating energy in a precursor generating and transporting space located separately from and within the active species generating and transporting space and open in a downstream region of that space; and introducing the resulting active species and precursor into the film forming space to chemically react to form the functional deposited film on the substrate in the absence of plasma.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
208 words
A process for preparing a functional deposited film on a substrate, said process employing (i) a precursor as a constituent for the film which precursor is substantially nonreactive as long as it remains in its original energy state and (ii) an active species which can react with and impart energy to the precursor to activate the precursor to a state capable of contributing to formation of said film, said process comprising the steps of: (a) generating said active species by subjecting a gaseous substance capable of being activated to generate said active species to the action of activating energy sufficient to generate said active species in an active species generating and transporting space leading to a film forming space containing the substrate; (b) simultaneously generating said precursor by subjecting a gaseous substance capable of generating said precursor to the action of activating energy sufficient to generate said precursor in a precursor generating and transporting space located separately from and within the active species generating and transporting space and open in a downstream region of that space; and (c) introducing the resulting active species and precursor into the film forming space to chemically react to form the functional deposited film on the substrate in the absence of a plasma.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
208 words
A process for preparing a functional deposited film on a substrate, said process employing (i) a precursor as a constituent for the film which precursor is substantially nonreactive as long as it remains in its original energy state and (ii) an active species which can react with and impart energy to the precursor to activate the precursor to a state capable of contributing to formation of said film, said process comprising the steps of: (a) generating said active species by subjecting a gaseous substance capable of being activated to generate said active species to the action of activating energy sufficient to generate said active species in an active species generating and transporting space leading to a film forming space containing the substrate; (b) simultaneously generating said precursor by subjecting a gaseous substance capable of generating said precursor to the action of activating energy sufficient to generate said precursor in a precursor generating and transporting space located separately from and within the active species generating and transporting space and open in a downstream region of that space; and (c) introducing the resulting active species and precursor into the film forming space to chemically react to form the functional deposited film on the substrate in the absence of a plasma.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
139 words
A process for preparing a functional deposited film according to claim 1, including employing as the active species, a material which is generated by subjecting a member selected from the group consisting of H 2 , SiH 4 , SiH 3 F, SiH 3 Cl, SiH 3 Br and SiH 3 I to the action of microwave energy and employing as the precursor, a material which is generated by subjecting a member selected from the group consisting of Si n X 2n+2 (n=1, 2, 3 or more, X=F, Cl, Br or I), (SiX 2 ) n (n≧3, X=F, Cl, Br or I), Si n HX 2n+1 (n=1, 2, 3 or more, X=F, Cl, Br or I) and Si n H 2 X 2n (n=1, 2, 3 or more, X=F, Cl, Br or I) to the action of microwave energy.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
A process for preparing a functional deposited film according to claim 1, including mixing the active species and the precursor prior to introducing them into the film forming space.
