摘要: A substrate processing apparatus includes a chamber; a substrate support disposed in the chamber; a gas supply that supplies a gas into the chamber; and a controller that controls an overall operation of the substrate processing apparatus. The controller executes a process including: (a) placing a substrate on the substrate support, the substrate including an etching layer and a patterned mask on the etching layer; (b) forming a film on the patterned mask; (c) forming a reaction layer on the film; and (d) removing the reaction layer by applying energy to the reaction layer. In the step (c) a temperature of the substrate is set according to a thickness of the reaction layer to be formed.

摘要: An etching apparatus includes: a chamber; a substrate support disposed in the chamber; one or more heaters disposed in the substrate support; a gas supply; a plasma generator; a controller configured to perform an etching process comprising a plurality of cycles; and a heater controller. Each cycle includes: controlling the gas supply to supply a precursor into the chamber, thereby forming a precursor layer on a substrate supported by the substrate support, the substrate including a film and a mask; and controlling the gas supply and the plasma generator to supply a process gas into the chamber and generate a plasma from the process gas in the chamber, thereby etching the film through the mask.

摘要: A substrate processing method includes: (a) disposing a substrate on a substrate support provided in a chamber of a substrate processing apparatus; (b) supplying a processing gas including hydrogen fluoride gas into the chamber; (c) controlling a temperature of the substrate support to a first temperature, and a pressure of the hydrogen fluoride gas in the chamber to a first pressure; and (d) controlling the temperature of the substrate support to a second temperature, and the pressure of the hydrogen fluoride gas in the chamber to a second pressure. In a graph with a horizontal axis indicating a temperature and a vertical axis indicating a pressure, the first temperature and the first pressure are positioned in a first region above an adsorption equilibrium pressure curve of hydrogen fluoride, and the second temperature and the second pressure are positioned in a second region below the adsorption equilibrium pressure curve.
