    摘要: A substrate placement process uses a tray in which a plurality of substrate receiving holes are provided to receive substrates and which has substrate support portions protruding from inner walls of the substrate receiving holes. The tray is placed onto a tray support portion of a substrate stage and places substrates onto substrate holding portions, respectively, so that edge portions of the substrates projected beyond end edges of the substrate holding portions and are apart from the substrate support portions. The first plasma processing process reduces internal pressure of a chamber and supplies a process gas thereto to fulfill plasma processing for the individual substrates. A second plasma processing process with the tray and the individual substrates placed on the substrate stage, reduces the internal pressure of the chamber and supplies a process gas to fulfill plasma processing so that by-products stuck to edge portions of the substrates and the substrate support portions due to the first plasma processing process are removed. By the removal of by-products stuck to the edge portions of the substrates and the tray during plasma processing, product quality is improved.

    摘要: A plasma processing apparatus includes a stock unit, a processing unit, and an alignment chamber. The stock unit supplies and collects a conveyable tray formed with a plurality of housing holes in each of which a wafer is housed. In the processing chamber, plasma processing is executed on the wafers housed in the tray supplied from the stock unit. The alignment chamber is provided with a rotating table on which the tray before being subjected to the plasma processing is set to perform positioning of the wafers on the rotating table. A housing state determination unit of a control device determines whether or not the wafer is misaligned with respect the housing hole of the tray based on a height detected by height detecting sensors.

    摘要: In a plasma processing apparatus, thrust-up pins are elevated and a thrust-up force is detected when electrostatic attraction for a substrate by a substrate holding device is ceased after completion of plasma processing, the elevation of the thrust-up pins is ceased upon detection of a detection threshold, and a stepped elevating operation in which the elevation and stoppage of the thrust-up pins are repeated a plurality of times are thereafter commenced on condition that the detected thrust-up force falls to or below the detection threshold and that release of the substrate from a placement surface has not been completed. In the stepped elevating operation, operation timing of the thrust-up device is controlled so that the completion of the release of the substrate from the placement surface is detected when the thrust-up pins are stopped after being elevated and so that the stepped elevating operation is continued on condition that the release has not been completed.
