The present invention relates to a heat treatment apparatus that performs activation annealing or defect repair annealing and surface oxidization which succeed impurity doping intended to control the conductive property of a semiconductor substrate. In the present invention, a sample to be heated is placed on a lower electrode in a plasma treatment chamber. A gap between an upper electrode and the lower electrode is filled with a gap whose main raw material is a rare gas (helium, argon, krypton, xenon, or the like) having a pressure close to the atmospheric pressure. A power fed from a high-frequency power supply is applied to the upper electrode in order to induce an atmospheric-pressure glow discharge. Gas heating in the gap between the electrodes, which depends on the glow discharge, is used to heat-treat the sample to be heated.

In an oxide film etching process, a plasma having a suitable ratio of CF3, CF2, CF, and F is necessary, and there is a problem in that the etching characteristic fluctuates in accordance with a temperature fluctuation of the etching chamber. Using a UHF type ECR plasma etching apparatus having a low electron temperature, a suitable dissociation can be obtained, and by maintaining the temperature of a side wall of the etching chamber in a range from 10° C. and 120° C., a stable etching characteristic can be obtained. Since oxide film etching using a low electron temperature and a high density plasma can be obtained, an etching result having a superior characteristic can be obtained, and, also, since the side wall temperature adjustment range is low, a simplified apparatus structure and a heat resistant performance countermeasure can be obtained easily.
