摘要:
Temperature adjustment means is buried near the upper surface of a ring structure that has substantially the same height as a wafer stage and surrounds it. The temperature adjustment means is controlled by a temperature control unit (61) according to a recipe for the process conditions so that the temperature of the wafer surface and the upper surface of the ring structure may become uniform. This minimizes the difference between temperatures above the wafer and above the ring structure, resulting in uniform deposition of film.
摘要:
An electrode structure is provided for use in a plasma device that processes a workpiece (W) using a plasma in a process chamber (26) in a vacuum. An electrode (38) includes a heater (44). The electrode (38) is coupled to a cooling block (40) having a cooling jacket (58) for cooling the electrode. A heat-resistant metal sealant (66A, 66B) covers the electrode in a heat-transfer space (62, 64) formed between the electrode and the cooling block. Gas supply means (94) on the electrode side supplies a heat medium to the space (62, 64). Such an electrode structure maintains the electrode sealed in the space in a high temperature range above 200 DEG C, even at 350 to 500 DEG C, and prevents the gas leakage.
