摘要:
An apparatus evaluates a substrate mounting device adapted to hold a target substrate placed on a mounting surface and to control a temperature of the target substrate. The apparatus includes an evacuatable airtightly sealed chamber accommodating therein the substrate mounting device, a heat source, arranged in a facing relationship with the mounting surface, for irradiating infrared light. The apparatus further includes an evaluation-purpose substrate adapted to be mounted on the mounting surface in place of the target substrate, the evaluation-purpose substrate being made of an infrared light absorbing material, and having a unit for measuring temperatures at plural sites on a surface and/or inside of the substrate.

A vehicle height control system includes a plurality of vehicle height adjusters actuated by a hydropneumatic actuating system and controlled respectively by control signals from a control unit. The control unit calculates, for each of the vehicle height adjusters, a target difference between a target adjustment position and an actual position detected by a vehicle height sensor associated with the adjuster. A maximum target difference is selected from the target differences respectively for the adjusters, and the selected maximum target difference is divided by a predetermined adjusting unit to determine a number of steps for adjustment of the target difference a little amount at a time. Then, tentative- or pseudo-target adjustment positions ranging between the actual position and the target adjustment position are obtained for each adjuster, and the adjustment control of each adjuster is carried out to achieve the pseudo target adjustment positions step by step.

An etching chamber 1 incorporates a focus ring 9 so as to surround a semiconductor wafer W provided on a lower electrode 4. The plasma processor is provided with an electric potential control DC power supply 33 to control the electric potential of this focus ring 9, and so constituted that the lower electrode 4 is supplied with a DC voltage of, e.g., −400 to −600 V to control the electric potential of the focus ring 9. This constitution prevents surface arcing from developing along the surface of a substrate to be processed.

A substrate mounting table includes a plurality of passageways independently provided therein, a temperature control medium flowing through the passageways, and a gap formed between at least two of the passageways. In a substrate processing method for processing a substrate mounted on the substrate mounting table in a substrate processing apparatus while controlling a temperature thereof, a process is performed on the substrate while controlling the temperature of the substrate by flowing the temperature control medium through each of the passageways. The passageways are respectively provided in a central area of the substrate mounting table and a peripheral area located outside the central area, and the central area and the peripheral area are thermally isolated from each other by evacuating the gap so as to set the gap to a vacuum state.

A substrate supporting member, and a substrate processing apparatus including the substrate supporting member are provided. The substrate supporting member for mounting and supporting a substrate on a substrate supporting surface thereof, and controlling a temperature of the substrate by thermal transfer between the substrate and the substrate supporting surface, wherein the substrate supporting surface is smaller than the substrate, and includes a central region, an intermediate region, and a peripheral region. A thermal conductivity between the substrate and the peripheral region is greater than that between the substrate and the central region which is greater than that between the substrate and the intermediate region located between the central region and the peripheral region.

A vehicle height control system includes a plurality of vehicle height adjusters actuated by a hydropneumatic actuating system and controlled by control signals from a control unit. The control unit calculates, for each of the vehicle height adjusters, a target difference between a target adjustment position set by a setting device and an actual position detected by a vehicle height sensor associated with the adjuster, and the control unit generates the control signals in accordance with the respective target differences. The control unit further selects a maximum target difference, and calculates deviations of the target differences from the maximum target difference. When any of the deviations exceeds a predetermined value, the adjustment operation of the vehicle height adjuster associated with this deviation is temporarily stopped thereby correcting the nonuniformity of the adjustments in the vehicle height adjusters.
