    摘要: In a microwave plasma processing apparatus that uses a radial line slot antenna, a slot plate (16) is formed by a material having a thermal expansion rate close to the wave retardation plate (18), or depositing a metal on a dielectric plate constituting the wave retardation plate (18). An intimate contact between the wave retardation plate and a slot plate constituting a microwave radiation surface is improved so as to prevent an abnormal electric discharge.

    摘要: A plasma processing apparatus includes: a processing chamber; an inlet waveguide having an interior space in which a first standing wave of a microwave is formed by means of resonance; a dielectric within which a second standing wave of the microwave is formed by means of resonance; and a slot antenna having a slot through which the microwave is passed from the interior space to the dielectric. The slot is generally located at a point where the position of a loop in the first standing wave orthogonally projected to the slot antenna coincides with the position of a loop in the second standing wave orthogonally projected to the slot antenna. The present invention provides a plasma processing apparatus that improves the propagation efficiency of a microwave passed through an aperture of the slot antenna, thereby allowing microwave energy to be efficiently introduced into a processing chamber.
