  • Publication number: 20230111278
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a control program of a plasma processing apparatus which performs a plasma processing by supplying a source power to a plasma generator and supplying a bias power to a stage that places a processing target substrate thereon. The control program causes a computer to execute a process including: monitoring a peak-to-peak voltage value of the source power or the bias power; and correcting the source power supplied to the plasma generator and the bias power supplied to the stage according to a fluctuation of the peak-to-peak voltage value, to make the monitored peak-to-peak voltage value approach an initial set value while fixing a ratio of the source power and the bias power.

  • Publication number: 20230100292
    Abstract: A plasma processing method includes (a) forming a first protective film on a surface of an inner member of a chamber by a first processing gas including a precursor gas that does not contain halogen; and (b) performing plasma processing on a processing target that is carried in inside the chamber by a plasma of a second processing gas after the first protective film is formed on the surface of the member.

  • Patent number: 10867777
    Abstract: A plasma processing method includes: plasma-processing a substrate placed on a surface of a placement table while causing a coolant of 0° C. or lower to flow through a coolant flow path formed inside the table; placing a dummy substrate on the surface of the placement table in place of the substrate; and removing a reaction product generated due to the plasma processing of the substrate by the plasma of the processing gas from a peripheral edge portion of the surface of the placement table while heating the surface of placement table by the plasma of the processing gas via the dummy substrate in a state where the dummy substrate is placed on the surface of the placement table.

  • Patent number: 10784088
    Abstract: A plasma processing method capable of reducing an amount of deposit adhering to an upper electrode or removing the deposit from the upper electrode is provided. In the plasma processing method, the upper electrode of a capacitively coupled plasma processing apparatus is cooled. A supporting table including a lower electrode is provided within a chamber of the plasma processing apparatus. The upper electrode is provided above the supporting table. During the cooling of the upper electrode, a film of a substrate is etched by plasma generated within the chamber. The substrate is placed on the supporting table during the etching of the film. A negative bias voltage is applied to the upper electrode while the etching is being performed.
