Patent number: 11901162Abstract: A vacuum processing apparatus of the present invention is a vacuum processing apparatus which performs plasma processing. The vacuum processing apparatus includes an electrode flange, a shower plate, an insulating shield, a processing chamber in which a processing-target substrate is to be disposed, an electrode frame, and a slide plate. The electrode frame and the slide plate are slidable in response to thermal deformation that occurs when a temperature of the shower plate is raised or lowered. The shower plate is supported by the electrode frame using a support member penetrating through an elongated hole. The elongated hole is formed so that the support member is relatively movable in the elongated hole in response to thermal deformation that occurs when a temperature of the shower plate is raised or lowered.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2019Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: ULVAC, INC.Inventors: Takehisa Miyaya, Yosuke Jimbo, Yoshiaki Yamamoto, Kenji Eto, Yoichi Abe
