Abstract:
A plasma processing apparatus includes a chamber, a substrate support including a bottom electrode, and a top electrode assembly disposed above the substrate support. The top electrode assembly includes a top electrode plate and a thermally conductive plate disposed above the top electrode plate. The top electrode assembly includes a coolant flow path disposed within the thermally conductive plate. The top electrode assembly includes at least one heating element thermally connected to the thermally conductive plate, the heating element being disposed at a location that does not overlap the coolant flow path in a height direction of the plasma processing apparatus. The plasma processing apparatus includes a controller that controls at least one among a coolant flowing through the coolant flow path and the heating element, based on a temperature of the top electrode plate detected by a temperature sensor, to adjust the temperature of the top electrode plate.
