An ashing device that prevents the ashing rate from changing over time. The ashing device ashes organic material on a substrate including an exposed metal in a processing chamber. The ashing device includes a path, which is formed in the processing chamber and through which active species supplied to the processing chamber pass. The path is defined by a surface on which the metal scattered from the substrate by the active species is collectible, with the surface being formed so as to expose a metal that is of the same kind.

A thin film manufacturing system, wherein a stage for placing a substrate thereon is disposed within a vacuum reactor and a gas head for supplying a film forming gas to a central area on a top face of the vacuum reactor is arranged so that the gas head is opposed to the stage. A cylindrical sleeve member is disposed and comes in close contact with a side wall of the stage to surround a periphery of the stage. The height of the stage can be established at the position where the volume of a second space formed below the stage and connected to a vacuum discharge means is larger than that of a first space formed above the stage, in such a manner that an exhaust gas is isotropically discharged from the first space without causing any convection current therein through the interstice between the sleeve member and an inner wall surface constituting the reactor.

A thin film manufacturing method and a thin film manufacturing apparatus are provided to manufacture a thin film with good reproducibility. A dummy substrate is conveyed into a chamber, and a dummy processing gas is supplied to the dummy substrate. Moreover, a product substrate is conveyed into the chamber, and a raw material gas different from the dummy processing gas is supplied to the product substrate. The raw material gas contains metal material for manufacturing a thin film with a metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method. Since the raw material gas is not used as a dummy processing gas, the amount of metal material to be used can be minimized in manufacturing the thin film with good reproducibility.

Disclosed is an ashing apparatus and its method of manufacture wherein decrease in processing efficiency is suppressed. Specifically, a shower plate is arranged to face a substrate stage on which a substrate is placed, and diffuses oxygen radicals supplied into a chamber. A metal blocking plate is arranged between the shower plate and the substrate stage and has a through hole through which oxygen radicals pass. In addition, the metal blocking plate has a first layer, which is made of a metal same as the one exposed in the substrate, on the surface facing the substrate.

[Object] To provide a plasma processing method capable of maintaining a uniform in-plane distribution from the start to the end of etching by optimizing etching conditions.[Solving Means] In a plasma processing method according to the present invention, the process of etching a substrate (W) having a mask pattern formed on a surface thereof by using plasma formed in a vacuum vessel (21) and the process of forming a protective film on a side wall portion of an etching pattern formed on the substrate (W) by sputtering a target material (30) disposed in the vacuum vessel (21) by using the plasma are alternately repeated. In the plasma processing method, a uniform in-plane distribution is maintained over a time period from the start to the end of plasma processing by changing a radius of a magnetic neutral line (25) in accordance with progress of the plasma processing including the etching processing and the processing of forming a protective film for the substrate (W).
