    摘要: Disclosed is an apparatus for generating ICP, which has a heater having a hot wire as a heating source for heating elements in a chamber and inner wall of the chamber and also efficiently transfers heat of the heater through a heat transferring gas to the elements in the chamber and the inner wall of the chamber. According to the present invention, the elements in the chamber and the inner wall of the chamber can be heated up to a temperature of about 200° C., thereby reducing the adhesion of the by-product served as the source generating the undesirable particles. In addition, since the hot wire having a longer life span than the halogen lamp is used as heat radiating means, the life span of the apparatus is also increased.

    摘要: Disclosed is a parallel resonance antenna comprising: a whirl antenna having a plurality of antenna units installed two-dimensionally and radially around a central point, each of the antenna units having a ground point at a predetermined position thereof, portions outside the ground points respectively being bent in a same direction, the antenna units having a same size and direction, angles between the antenna units at the central point being all the same; a central conductive line connected to the central point to be normal to the whirl antenna, for being supplied with an RF power; a metal plate installed over and apart from the whirl antenna, the metal plate being connected with end portions of the antenna units, and having a penetration hole through which the central conductive line passes without contacting with the metal plate; and a variable resonance capacitor installed in series between the central conductive line and the metal plate. According to a parallel resonance antenna, the geometrical structure enables to obtain a uniform plasma. Since the antenna has a small inductance, impedance matching is easy even at the VHF band. Also, at the resonance point, since the potential of the inner portions (Z1, Z2, Z3 and Z4) of the ground points of the antenna units is low, it becomes possible to decrease a non-desired sputtering phenomenon.
