    摘要: A plasma processing apparatus includes a stage for supporting a target object in a chamber defined by a chamber body. The stage includes a lower electrode, an electrostatic chuck provided on the lower electrode, heaters provided in the electrostatic chuck, and terminals electrically connected to the heaters. A conductor pipe electrically connects a high frequency power supply and the lower electrode and extends from the lower electrode to the outside of the chamber body. Power supply lines supply power from a heater controller to the heaters. Filters partially forming the power supply lines prevent the inflow of high frequency power from the heaters to the heater controller. The power supply lines include wirings which respectively connect the terminals and the filters and extend to the outside of the chamber body through an inner bore of the conductor pipe.

    摘要: A method of forming sub-resolution features that includes: exposing a photoresist layer formed over a substrate to a first ultraviolet light (UV) radiation having a first wavelength of 365 nm or longer through a mask configured to form features at a first critical dimension, the photoresist layer including first portions exposed to the first UV radiation and second portions unexposed to the first UV radiation after exposing with the first UV radiation; exposing the first portions and the second portions to a second UV radiation; and developing the photoresist layer after exposing the photoresist layer to the second UV radiation to form the sub-resolution features having a second critical dimension less than the first critical dimension.

    摘要: The PVD apparatus includes a chamber, a plurality of stages, a first target holder, a power supply mechanism, and a shield. The plurality of stages are provided inside the chamber, and each of the plurality of stages is configured to place at least one substrate on an upper surface thereof. The first target holder is configured to hold at least one target provided for one stage, the target being exposed to a space inside the chamber. The power supply mechanism supplies power to the target via the first target holder. The shield is provided inside the chamber and a part of the shield is disposed between a first stage and a second stage in the plurality of stages, and between a first processing space on the first stage and a second processing space on the second stage.

    摘要: A mounting table is provided. The mounting table includes an electrostatic chuck configured to mount thereon a target object and attract and hold the target object using an electrostatic force, and a gas supply line configured to supply a gas to a gap between the target object mounted on the electrostatic chuck and the electrostatic chuck via the electrostatic chuck. The mounting table further includes at least one irradiation unit configured to irradiate light having a predetermined wavelength to the gas flowing through the gas supply line or to the gas supplied to the gap between the target object and the electrostatic chuck to ionize the gas.

    摘要: An etching method is provided. In the etching method, a protective film-forming gas including an amine gas is supplied to a substrate having a surface on which a first film and a second film are formed, the first film and the second film having respective properties of being etched by an etching gas, and a protective film is formed to cover the first film such that the first film is selectively protected between the first film and the second film when the etching gas is supplied. Further, the second film is selectively etched by supplying the etching gas to the substrate after the protective film is formed.
