    摘要: A disclose substrate support of a plasma processing apparatus has an electrostatic chuck that holds an edge ring. The electrostatic chuck includes a first electrode and a second electrode. In an execution period of a first plasma processing on a substrate, first potentials which are ones out of potentials same as each other and potentials different from each other are set to the first and second electrodes, respectively. In an execution period of a second plasma processing on the substrate, second potentials which are others out of the potentials same as each other and the potentials different from each other are set to the first and second electrodes, respectively. The respective potentials of the first electrode and the second electrode are switched from the first potentials to the second potentials.

    摘要: A focus ring is disposed on a peripheral portion of a lower electrode that receives a substrate thereon in a process container so as to contact a member of the lower electrode. The focus ring includes a contact surface that contacts the member of the lower electrode and is made of any one of a silicon-containing material, alumina and quartz. At least one of the contact surface of the focus ring and a contact surface of the member of the lower electrode has surface roughness of 0.1 micrometers or more.

    摘要: A substrate support for a plasma processing apparatus includes a first support area configured to support a substrate placed thereon; and a second support area configured to support a focus ring placed thereon. The second support area includes a lower electrode, a chuck area, and a bonding area. The chuck area includes a first electrode and a second electrode, and is configured to hold the focus ring by a potential difference set between the first electrode and the second electrode. The first electrode and the second electrode extend in the circumferential direction, and the first electrode is provided inward in the radial direction with respect to the second electrode. The substrate support further includes a first conducting wire and a second conducting wire each extending around a center or on the center between an inner boundary and an outer boundary of the second support area.

    摘要: A plasma processing apparatus includes a base, an electrostatic chuck provided on the base, and a dielectric layer. A bias power, whose magnitude is changed during plasma processing on a target substrate, is applied to the base. The electrostatic chuck has a central portion on which the target substrate is mounted and an outer peripheral portion on which a focus ring is mounted to surround the target substrate. The dielectric layer is provided between the outer peripheral portion of the electrostatic and the base or the focus ring and has an electrostatic capacitance that reduces a difference between an electrostatic capacitance of the central portion of the electrostatic chuck and an electrostatic capacitance of the outer peripheral portion of the electrostatic chuck.

    摘要: A plasma processing apparatus includes an electrostatic chuck and a lifter pin. The electrostatic chuck has a mounting surface on which a target object is mounted and a back surface opposite to the mounting surface, and a through hole formed through the mounting surface and the back surface. The lifter pin is at least partially formed of an insulating member and has a leading end accommodated in the through hole. The lifter pin vertically moves with respect to the mounting surface to vertically transfer the target object. A conductive material is provided at at least one of a leading end portion of the lifter pin which corresponds to the through hole and a wall surface of the through hole which faces the lifter pin.
