摘要: A plasma processing method includes executing an etching process that includes supplying an etching gas into a process container in which a target substrate is supported on a second electrode serving as a lower electrode, and applying an RF power for plasma generation and an RF power for ion attraction to turn the etching gas into plasma and to subject the target substrate to etching. The etching process includes applying a negative DC voltage to a first electrode serving as an upper electrode during the etching to increase an absolute value of self-bias on the first electrode. The etching process includes releasing DC electron current generated by the negative DC voltage to ground through plasma and a conductive member disposed as a ring around the first electrode, by using a first state where the conductive member is connected to a ground potential portion.

摘要: Provided is a capacitively coupled plasma processing apparatus which improves a controllability of the RF bias function and reliably prevents unwanted resonance from being generated on a RF transmission line between a counter electrode and ground potential to enhance reliability of the plasma process. In the capacitive coupled type plasma processing apparatus, three kinds of RF powers from a first, second and third RF power supplies (35, 36, 38) are superimposed and applied to susceptor (lower electrode) (16). In such a three-frequency superimposing and applying application scheme, the frequency-impedance characteristic around upper electrode (48) is considered to prevent a serial resonance from occurring on an RF transmission line around upper electrode (48) in consideration of all the low order frequencies of the IMD relevant to and affecting the plasma process. Since the fluorocarbon layer by itself functions as an antireflective film and a harm mask, the reliability of processing can be improved, while reducing the cost.
