A plasma processing apparatus includes a processing vessel capable of being vacuum evacuated; a first electrode disposed in the processing vessel in a state electrically floating via an insulating member or a space; a second electrode, arranged in the processing vessel to face and be in parallel to the first electrode with a specific interval, supporting a substrate to be processed; a processing gas supply unit for supplying a desired processing gas into a processing space surrounded by the first electrode, the second electrode and a sidewall of the processing vessel; and a first radio frequency power supply unit for applying a first radio frequency power to the second electrode to generate a plasma of the processing gas in the processing space. An electrostatic capacitance between the first electrode and the processing vessel is set such that a desired plasma density distribution is obtained for the generated plasma.

In an independent GaN film manufactured by creating a GaN layer on a base heterosubstrate using vapor-phase deposition and then removing the base substrate, owing to layer-base discrepancy in thermal expansion coefficient and lattice constant, bow will be a large ±40 μm to ±100 μm. Since with that bow device fabrication by photolithography is challenging, reducing the bow to +30 μm to −20 μm is the goal. The surface deflected concavely is ground to impart to it a damaged layer that has a stretching effect, making the surface become convex. The damaged layer on the surface having become convex is removed by etching, which curtails the bow. Alternatively, the convex surface on the side opposite the surface having become convex is ground to generate a damaged layer. With the concave surface having become convex due to the damaged layer, suitably etching off the damaged layer curtails the bow.

Nitride semiconductor wafers which are produced by epitaxially grown nitride films on a foreign undersubstrate in vapor phase have strong inner stress due to misfit between the nitride and the undersubstrate material. A GaN wafer which has made by piling GaN films upon a GaAs undersubstrate in vapor phase and eliminating the GaAs undersubstrate bends upward due to the inner stress owing to the misfit of lattice constants between GaN and GaAs.

A plasma etching apparatus includes an upper electrode and a lower electrode, between which plasma of a process gas is generated to perform plasma etching on a wafer W. The apparatus further comprises a cooling ring disposed around the wafer, a correction ring disposed around the cooling ring, and a variable DC power supply directly connected to the correction ring, the DC voltage being preset to provide the correction ring with a negative bias, relative to ground potential, for attracting ions in the plasma and to increase temperature of the correction ring to compensate for a decrease in temperature of a space near the edge of the target substrate due to the cooling ring.

A plasma processing apparatus includes a processing container in which a plasma processing is performed on a substrate to be processed, a holding stage which is disposed in the processing container and holds thereon the substrate to be processed, a dielectric plate which is provided at a location facing the holding stage and transmits a microwave into the processing container, and a reactive gas supply unit which supplies a reactive gas for plasma processing toward the central region of the substrate to be processed held by the holding stage. Here, the reactive gas supply unit includes an injector base, which is disposed at a location more recessed inside the dielectric plate than a wall surface of the dielectric plate facing the holding stage. A supply hole, which supplies a reactive gas for plasma processing into the processing container, is formed in the injector base.
