Patent number: 7125730Abstract: In power supply and a semiconductor making apparatus and a semiconductor fabricating method using the same, an abnormality can be detected when an offset occurs in a part constituting a closed-loop system of high-frequency power supply or dc power supply for a semiconductor making apparatus. Power supply for receiving a power value setting signal to set strength of power and a power on/off instruction to set on or off of outputting of the power interrupts the supply of the power even in a state in which a subsequent power on/off instruction is on if a power sense signal according to a value obtained by sensing the power exceeds a predetermined value when the power on/off instruction is off.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2003Date of Patent: October 24, 2006Assignee: Hitachi High-Technologies CorporationInventors: Youji Takahashi, Tsutomu Iida, Tsuyoshi Umemoto, Makoto Kashibe

Patent number: 7025895Abstract: A plasma processing apparatus and method are capable of performing etching with high precision without damaging the semiconductor wafer. The plasma processing apparatus has a plasma generation power supply for generating a plasma within a processing chamber; a high-frequency power supply for applying a high frequency wave to a sample stage installed within the processing chamber; and control means for controlling the plasma generation power supply or the high-frequency power supply based on parameter settings for an output intensity and an output mode for each process step. In this regard, when the process steps are switched, the control means compares parameters for a current process step with those for a next process step and then switches either the output intensities or the output modes before switching the output modes or the output intensities, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2002Date of Patent: April 11, 2006Assignee: Hitachi High-Technologies CorporationInventors: Youji Takahashi, Makoto Kashibe
