    摘要: Provided is a technique capable of ascertaining the process condition of the boundary between electrically positive and negative plasma regions. In a vacuum chamber, one of the parameters of process conditions is stepwisely changed to generate a plasma under at least three process conditions. The parameters include a flow rate ratio between an electrically negative gas and an electrically positive gas, a pressure in the vacuum chamber and the magnitude of an energy supplied to the gases. Next, a voltage is applied to a Langmuir probe positioned in that plasma, and a current-voltage curve indicating the relationship between the applied voltage and the electric current to flow through the probe is acquired for each of the process conditions. On the basis of the current-voltage curve group acquired, the process conditions are determined for the boundary between the electrically positive and negative plasma regions.

    摘要: A compensation ring 31 disposed to surround a periphery of a wafer W on a susceptor 30 is concentrically divided into an inside first compensation ring member 32 and an outside second compensation ring member 33. A width of a first compensation ring member 32 is made such thin as one to three times mean free path of treatment gas molecules, thereby suppressing heat transfer between a susceptor 30 and a second compensation ring member 33. A base of a second compensation ring member, through a layer of conductive silicone rubber 34, is made to come into an intimate contact with an upper surface of a susceptor 30, thus helping to cool.
