摘要:
A structure for a plasma processing chamber which makes it possible to control the potential therein and simplify the construction of the plasma processing chamber. A gas-introducing showerhead 34 is disposed in the plasma processing chamber 10 including a container 11 having a process space S for receiving a semiconductor wafer W, and a susceptor 12 disposed in the container 11, for mounting the received semiconductor wafer W thereon. The susceptor 12 is connected to high-frequency power supplies 20 and 46. An electrode support 39 of the gas-introducing showerhead 34 is electrically grounded. An electrically floating top electrode plate 38 of the gas-introducing showerhead 34 is disposed between the electrode support 39 and the process space S. The top electrode plate 38 has a surface exposed to the process space S. An insulating film 48 is formed of a dielectric material and disposed between the electrode support 39 and the top electrode plate 38.
摘要:
A plasma processing method includes the steps of etching the target object with a CF-based processing gas by using a patterned resist film as a mask, removing deposits accumulated inside a processing chamber during the step of etching the target object by using a processing gas containing at least an O2 gas, and ashing the resist film by using a processing gas containing at least an O2 gas. Relevant places in the processing chamber from which the deposits are removed are heated in the step of removing the deposits.
摘要:
A method of cleaning a substrate processing chamber that enables formation of an oxide film on a surface of a processing chamber inside component to be prevented. A substrate processing chamber 11 has therein a processing space S into which a wafer W is transferred and carries out reactive ion etching on the wafer W in the processing space S. The substrate processing chamber 11 has an upper electrode plate 38 that comprises silicon and a lower surface of which is exposed to the processing space S. A dry cleaning is carried out on the upper electrode plate 38 using oxygen radicals produced from oxygen gas introduced into the processing space S. An oxide removal processing is carried out on the upper electrode plate 38 using fluorine ions and fluorine radicals produced from carbon tetrafluoride gas introduced into the processing space S.

摘要:
A plasma processing apparatus which enables an insulating film on a grounding electrode to be removed. A plasma processing apparatus has a substrate processing chamber having therein a processing space in which plasma processing is carried out on a substrate, an RF electrode that applies radio frequency electrical power into the processing space, a DC electrode that applies a DC voltage into the processing space, and a grounding electrode that is exposed to the processing space. The grounding electrode and the RF electrode are adjacent to one another with an insulating portion therebetween, and a distance between the grounding electrode and the RF electrode is set in a range of 0 to 10 mm.
