    摘要: Disclosed herein is a method of detecting an end point of plasma process performed on an object, and a plasma process apparatus. The method includes the steps of detecting an emission spectrum over a wavelength region specific to C.sub.2 in the plasma, by optical detecting means, and determining the end point of the plasma process from the emission intensity of the emission spectrum detected by the optical detector. The apparatus has a process chamber, a pair of electrodes, a light-collecting device, an optical detector, and a determining device. The chamber has a monitor window. The electrodes are located in the process chamber. The first electrode is used to support the object. A high-frequency power is supplied between the electrodes to change a process gas into plasma. The light-collecting device collects the light from the plasma through the monitor window. The optical detector detects an emission spectrum from the light collected. The determining device determines the end point of the plasma process from the emission intensity of the emission spectrum detected. The monitor window is secured to the distal end of a cylindrical member protruding from the chamber. The member has a narrow gas passage for trapping a gas generated by the plasma process.

    摘要: An apparatus for measuring thickness is provided. A light source irradiates a front surface or a rear surface of a substrate with a light. A splitter splits the light into a reference light and a measurement light. The reference light is reflected by a reference light reflecting device. An optical path changing device changes an optical path length of light reflected from the reference light reflecting device. A light receiving device measures an interference of the reflected light from the substrate and the reference light from the reference light reflecting device. A thickness of at least one of the front surface, rear surface or inside of the substrate is measured based on a measurement of the interference.

    摘要: HBr and Cl.sub.2 are used as etching gases and Ar is used as a carrier gas in an ECR etching apparatus in which a semiconductor wafer is processed. Light emitted from plasma generated is dispersed by first and second spectroscopes to detect intensities of those spectra of the plasma which have first and second wavelengths. Both of these spectra are selected from those of an Ar atom. A CPU compares a present value, which represents a ratio of the spectral intensities detected, with a selected value of the ratio previously stored, and adjusts the intensity of a magnetic field such that the present value becomes closer to the selected value. The adjustment of the magnetic field intensity is carried out by changing the value of a current applied to magnetic coils. The magnetic field intensity is a parameter for adjusting an electron temperature of the plasma, and thus, the electron temperature of the plasma is adjusted by adjusting the magnetic field intensity.
