Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A metal-containing deposit can be efficiently removed. A plasma processing method includes removing a deposit, which adheres to a member within a processing vessel and contains at least one of a transition metal and a base metal, by plasma of a processing gas containing a CxFy gas, in which x is an integer equal to or less than 2 and y is an integer equal to or less than 6, and without containing a chlorine-based gas and a nitrogen-based gas.

Abstract: Disclosed is a plasma processing method for processing a workpiece that includes: a silicon-containing etching target layer, an organic film provided on the etching target layer, an antireflective film provided on the organic layer, and a first mask provided on the antireflective layer, using a plasma processing apparatus having a processing container. The plasma processing method includes: etching the antireflective film using plasma generated in the processing container and the first mask to form a second mask from the antireflective film; etching the organic film using plasma generated in the processing container and the second mask to form a third mask from the organic film; generating plasma of a mixed gas including the first gas and the second gas in the processing container; and etching the etching target layer using plasma generated in the processing container and the third mask.
