    摘要: In the plasma processing apparatus for generating plasma in a processing chamber and processing a wafer by mutual action of electromagnetic waves radiated from a UHF band antenna installed in the processing chamber and a magnetic field formed by a magnetic field generator installed around the processing chamber, a hollow tube having one end in communication with an opening in the side wall of the processing chamber and another end, outside the processing chamber, which has a measuring window of plasma optical emission. By setting the lines of force of the magnetic field formed by the magnetic field generator so as to form an angle relative to the hollow tube, entry of plasma into the hollow tube can be prevented, and adhesion of deposits onto the measuring window can be suppressed, whereby the transmission factor of the measuring window can be kept constant over a long period of use.

    摘要: A plasma processing apparatus includes a vacuum vessel with a sample stage having a mounting surface disposed in a process chamber, and a plate having substantially uniform thickness and electric power applied thereto constituting a ceiling of the chamber. The plate is disposed opposite to and substantially parallel with the sample stage so as to cover the whole area of the stage mounting surface and has a through-hole therein. An optical transmitter with a diameter larger than a diameter of the though-hole is disposed inside of the vacuum vessel and has an end face at a position above and spaced a small distance a back surface of the plate so as to receive light from the chamber via the through-hole. The optical transmitter is independently detachable with respect to the back surface of the plate.

    摘要: The object of the present invention is to provide a plasma processing apparatus wherein plasma is generated in process chamber to treat a sample. Said plasma processing apparatus is further characterized in that multiple closely packed through-holes are formed on the plate installed on the UHF antenna arranged opposite to the sample, an optical transmitter is installed almost in contact with the back of the through-holes, and an optical transmission means is arranged on the other end of said optical transmitter, thereby measuring optical information coming from the sample and plasma through optical transmitter and optical transmission means by means of a measuring instrument. No abnormal discharge or particle contamination occur to through-holes even in long-term discharge process, and no deterioration occurs to the optical performance at the end face of the optical transmitter. Said plasma processing apparatus ensures stable and high precision measurement of the state of the surface of sample and plasma for a long time.
