In a plasma processing apparatus of the invention, while a process gas is supplied to a processing chamber via a first gas introducing hole formed in an electrode, an object to be processed, which is held on an opposed electrode, is subjected to plasma processing. There is provided a resistance applying [means for applying] apply resistance to the process gas flowing to the processing chamber via the gas introducing hole from the gas introducing means such that a plasma discharge is prevented from occurring in the gas introducing means when a process pressure in the processing chamber is set at 0.5 Torr or less.

    摘要: Contact holes (36a, 36b) are formed by means of plasma etching, such that the contact holes are formed from the top surface of a silicon oxide insulating film (31) down to a wiring layer (33a) at a deep position and a wiring layer (33b) at a shallow position, respectively, which are embedded in the insulating film (31). A process gas containing C4F8, CO, and Ar is used, while the process pressure is set to be from 30 to 60 mTorr, and the partial pressure of the C4F8 gas is set to be from 0.07 to 0.35 mTorr. Under these conditions, the process gas is turned into plasma, and the insulating film (31) is etched with the plasma to form the contact holes (36a, 36b).

    摘要: A parallel-plate plasma etching apparatus includes a susceptor electrode and a shower electrode which are arranged in a process chamber. A semiconductor wafer is placed on the susceptor electrode. A shower region defined by a plurality of process gas supply holes is formed in the shower electrode. The shower electrode is cooled by a cooling block and causes an effective electrode portion of the shower electrode to have a temperature gradient such that a temperature at the central portion of the effective electrode portion is lower than a temperature at the peripheral portion of the effective electrode portion. The diameter of the shower region is selected to be smaller than the diameter of the wafer by 5 to 25% such that degradation of planar uniformity of a degree of etching anisotropy on the wafer caused by the temperature gradient of the effective electrode portion is compensated for. The diameter of the effective electrode portion is selected to be larger than the size of a wafer by 5 to 35% such that a taper angle of a side wall to be etched formed by etching is set to be 85.degree. to 90.degree..
