摘要: A hollow cathode includes an insulation plate having cathode holes. Bottom electrodes are below the insulation plate. The bottom electrodes define first holes having a width greater than a width of the cathode holes. Top electrodes are at an opposite side of the insulation plate from the bottom electrodes. The top electrodes define second holes aligned with the first holes along a direction orthogonal to the upper surface of the insulation plate.

摘要: Disclosed are a plasma processing apparatus and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device using the same. The plasma processing apparatus comprises a chamber, an electrostatic chuck in the chamber and loading a substrate, a plasma electrode generating an upper plasma on the electrostatic chuck; and a hollow cathode between the plasma electrode and the electrostatic chuck, wherein the hollow cathode generates a lower plasma below the upper plasma. The hollow cathode comprises cathode holes each having a size less than a thickness of a plasma sheath of the upper plasma.
