    摘要: There is provided a method for driving a member provided in a processing chamber. The method includes irradiating to the member measurement light having a wavelength that penetrates the member, detecting intensity distribution of reflected light based on reflected light from an upper surface of the member and reflected light from a bottom surface of the member, calculating an optical path difference by applying Fourier transform to a spectrum indicating the intensity distribution, and determining a driving amount of the member based on the optical path difference. The method further includes driving the member based on the determined driving amount.

    摘要: A plasma processing method for a workpiece in a plasma processing apparatus includes (i) performing a first plasma processing on a workpiece, and (ii) performing a second plasma processing on the workpiece. Power of second radio frequency waves set in the second plasma processing is greater than the power of the second radio frequency waves set in the first plasma processing. In the second plasma processing, a magnetic field distribution having a horizontal component on an edge side of the workpiece greater than a horizontal component on a center of the workpiece is formed by an electromagnet.

    摘要: In a plasma processing method, a carbon-containing film is formed on surfaces of components in a chamber by using a plasma of a carbon-containing gas, and a silicon-containing film whose film thickness is determined based on a film thickness of the carbon-containing film is formed on a surface of the carbon-containing film by a silicon-containing gas. Then, a target object is loaded into the chamber and processed by a plasma of a processing gas after the formation of the silicon-containing film. The silicon-containing film is removed from the surface of the carbon-containing film by using a plasma of a fluorine-containing gas after the target object processed by the plasma is unloaded from the chamber, and the carbon-containing film is removed from the surfaces of the components by using a plasma of an oxygen-containing gas.
