摘要:
A substrate processing apparatus includes a processing vessel; a mounting table for mounting the substrate thereon in the processing vessel; a gas inlet unit provided in the processing vessel; a gas supply mechanism for supplying a hydrogen-containing gas into the processing vessel through the gas inlet unit; a gas discharge port provided at the processing vessel; a gas exhaust mechanism for exhausting an inside of the processing vessel through the gas discharge port; a catalyst provided in the processing vessel; and a heating unit for heating the catalyst. Hydrogen radicals are formed in the processing vessel by a catalytic cracking reaction between the hydrogen-containing gas and the catalyst of high temperature, and the substrate is processed by the hydrogen radicals.

摘要:
A plasma processing apparatus has a susceptor with a mount surface on which an electrostatic chuck is arranged. The electrostatic chuck is formed of one inner chuck segment and four outer chuck segments. The chuck segments are arrayed with gaps interposed therebetween to prevent the electrostatic chuck from being distorted due to thermal stress.
摘要:
Prior to plasma etching, a wafer is placed on conductive support pins which extend through an electrostatic chuck. The electrostatic chuck is disposed on a susceptor incorporating a cooling jacket. A potential for electrostatic attraction is applied to the electrostatic chuck. The support pins are lowered while they are grounded, thus placing the wafer on the electrostatic chuck. Subsequently, the support pins are retracted into the electrostatic chuck to release contact between the wafer and themselves. A heat medium gas is then supplied between the wafer and the electrostatic chuck to improve the heat transfer rate therebetween. A plasma is then generated in a process chamber, and the wafer is etched by using the plasma. Since the heat transfer rate between the wafer and the electrostatic chuck is improved before the generation of the plasma, damage to the wafer due to heat can be prevented, and the starting time required to start an etching process is shortened.
