Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a technology in which a nozzle part is mounted in a vacuum chamber and a silicon substrate is held to face a discharge hole of the nozzle part. For example, ClF3 gas and Ar gas are supplied from the nozzle part and the mixed gas is discharged from the nozzle part under a vacuum atmosphere. By doing this, the mixed gas is adiabatically expanded and the Ar atoms or ClF3 molecules are combined, which become a gas cluster. The gas cluster is irradiated to the surface of the silicon substrate without being ionized and, as a result, the surface of the silicon surface becomes a porous state. Then, lithium is grown on the surface of the silicon substrate in a separate vacuum chamber 41 by sputtering without breaking the vacuum.
