  • Patent number: 11495439
    Abstract: An apparatus for plasma processing that performs an etching on a workpiece, includes: a container; a gas supply system for supplying a processing gas into the container; a plasma source for exciting the processing gas; a support for holding the workpiece inside the container; an exhaust system for exhausting an internal space of the container; electrode plates provided on an inner wall of the container; insulators for electrically insulating the electrode plates from each other; a DC power supply for independently applying a DC voltage to each of the electrode plates; and a controller for controlling the gas supply system, the plasma source, and the DC power supply. The controller controls the gas supply system, the plasma source, and the DC power supply such that the DC voltage is supplied to each electrode plate during execution of the etching or after completion of the etching.
