A semiconductor device manufacturing apparatus includes a process chamber, a conveyance chamber, a conveyance robot, a lock chamber, and a heating unit or temperature adjusting unit for reducing adherence of particles onto a substance to be processed by a thermo-phoretic force. The heating unit enables control of a temperature of the substance to be processed to be higher than a temperature of an inner wall or structural body of the process chamber or the conveyance chamber or the conveyance robot or the lock chamber, in conveying the substance to be processed. The temperature adjusting unit enables adjustment of a temperature of an inner wall or structural body of the process chamber or the conveyance chamber or the lock chamber to be lower than a temperature of the substance to be processed, in conveying the substance to be processed.

摘要:
In a plasma processing apparatus including a processing chamber, a high-frequency power supply needed for plasma production, a unit that feeds a gas to the processing chamber, a shower plate, an exhausting unit that depressurizes the processing chamber, a stage on which a sample to be processed is placed, and a focus ring, the temperature of the focus ring can be regulated. A unit that measures a gas temperature distribution in the processing chamber is included. Based on the result of measurement of the gas temperature distribution, the temperature of the focus ring is controlled so that the gas temperature in the surface of the sample to be processed will be uniform.
