摘要： A wet processing apparatus holds on a stage a substrate to be processed and carries out a wet treatment by rotating the stage. The substrate is held by the stage, with the center of the substrate being offset from the rotation center of the stage, using a Bernoulli chuck which causes an inert gas to flow to a back surface of the substrate, so that the substrate is eccentrically rotated along with the rotation of the stage. A first gas supply passage which is used for the Bernoulli chuck is provided at a rotation shaft portion in the stage and the stage is also provided with second gas supply passages which communicate with the first gas supply passage to thereby introduce the inert gas to the back surface of the substrate. The second gas supply passages are axisymmetric with respect to a central axis of the substrate.

摘要： Provided is a rotary magnet sputtering apparatus which includes a plasma shielding member and an outer wall connected to the ground and which has a series resonant circuit and a parallel resonant circuit between the plasma shielding member and the outer wall. The series resonant circuit has a very low impedance only at its resonant frequency while the parallel resonant circuit has a very high impedance only at its resonant frequency. With this configuration, the impedance between substrate RF power and the plasma shielding member becomes very high so that it is possible to suppress the generation of plasma between a substrate 10 to be processed and the plasma shielding member. Further, since a series resonant circuit is provided between a target and the ground, the RF power is efficiently supplied only to a region where the substrate passes under the target, so that a self-bias voltage is generated.
