  • Patent number: 10600621
    Abstract: A plasma electrode is provided with an electrode plate, a ground plate, and an insulating plate arranged between the electrode plate and the ground plate. Protrusions of the electrode plate are arranged inside through holes of the ground plate and inside through holes of the insulating plate. One of the through hole provided on the center axes of the protrusions and the through hole provided around the through hole discharges a first processing gas to below the ground plate. The other of the through holes exhausts a gas existing below the ground plate. A second flow path around the protrusions supplies a second processing gas supplied via a first flow path to a gap between outer walls of the protrusions and inner walls of the through holes. The second processing gas supplied to the gap is converted into plasma by high frequency power applied to the electrode plate.

  • Publication number: 20140373783
    Abstract: A film forming device forms a thin film on a substrate by reacting reaction gases in a process vessel. Electrode portions each oriented vertically are arranged to be spaced from each other in a horizontal direction. By applying high-frequency powers having different phases to adjacent electrode portions, a strong plasma generation space is formed above the substrate placed on a mounting table, while a weak plasma generation space is formed in the gap between the electrode portions and the substrate. A first reaction gas is supplied to the strong plasma generation space and a second reaction gas that forms the thin film by reacting with the active species of the first reaction gas is supplied to the weak plasma generation space. The reaction gases in the weak plasma generation space are discharged through exhaust channels.
