摘要: A plasma processing method is provided for a plasma processing apparatus which includes a plurality of upstream-side expansion valves and a plurality of downstream-side expansion valves connected to respective refrigerant inlets and respective refrigerant outlets to adjust a flow rate or a pressure of a refrigerant flowing into the respective refrigerant inlets and a flow rate or a pressure of a refrigerant flowing out from the respective refrigerant outlets. The method includes adjusting openings of the upstream-side expansion valves and openings of the downstream-side expansion valves so that no change in flow rate of the refrigerant occurs in a plurality of refrigerant channels between the plurality of upstream-side expansion valves and the plurality of downstream-side expansion valves via the plurality of refrigerant channels in a refrigeration cycle allowing the refrigerant to flow therein.

摘要: A sample stage includes plural pushup pins that move a sample up/down above the stage, a recessed and protruding dielectric film on which the sample is loaded, a feeding port disposed on the film and through which gas is fed to a gap between the sample and the film, and openings of through-holes in which the pushup pins are housed, and the stage is connected to a feeding/evacuation conduit including a feeding-path that communicates with the port and through which gas fed to the gap flows, an evacuation-path that communicates with the opening and through which gas fed to the gap is discharged, and a connection-path through which the feeding-path and the evacuation-path communicate. With communication between the feeding-path and the evacuation-path via the connection-path interrupted, gas from the feeding-path is fed to the gap and into the through-hole via the gap.

摘要: A plasma processor, including a first gas supplier to supply first gas to the inside of a vacuum vessel, a stage on which a wafer is placed, an electromagnetic wave supplier to supply electromagnetic waves for generating first plasma, a susceptor provided to an outer peripheral portion of the stage, a second high frequency power source connected to the susceptor, and a second gas supplier to supply second gas to the inside of the susceptor. The inside of the susceptor is provided with a high frequency electrode connected to the second high frequency power source and a first earth electrode disposed opposite to the high frequency electrode. The second high frequency power source supplies high frequency power while the second gas supplier supplies the second gas, thereby generating second plasma inside the susceptor.
