  • Patent number: 8931433
    Abstract: The present invention aims at providing a plasma processing apparatus for performing a plasma processing on a planar substrate body to be processed, the apparatus being capable of generating the plasma with good uniformity and efficiently using the plasma, and having a high productivity. That is, the plasma processing apparatus according to the present invention includes: a vacuum chamber; one or plural antenna supporters (plasma generator supporters) projecting into the internal space of the vacuum chamber; radio-frequency antennas (plasma generators) attached to each antenna supporter; and a pair of substrate body holders provided across the antenna supporter in the vacuum chamber, for holding a planar substrate body to be processed.

  • Publication number: 20110220026
    Abstract: A plasma processing device according to the present invention includes a plasma processing chamber consisting of a vacuum container, a pair of substrate holders standing opposite each other in the plasma processing chamber, a plurality of first reaction gas tubes provided between the two substrate holders, and a plurality of second reaction gas tubes provided between the plurality of first reaction gas tubes and each of the two substrate holders. The first reaction gas tubes, which are made of an electrically conductive material, are electrically connected to a first radio-frequency power source or second radio-frequency power source. The first reaction gas tubes double as a radio-frequency antenna, while the second reaction gas tubes double as an electrode.
