  • Patent number: 11569068
    Abstract: A plasma processing apparatus includes a microwave output unit, a wave guide tube, a tuner, a demodulation unit, and a calculation unit. The microwave output unit outputs a microwave having power corresponding to setting power while frequency-modulating the microwave in a setting frequency range. The wave guide tube guides the microwave to an antenna of a chamber main body. The tuner is provided in the wave guide tube and adjusts a position of a movable plate. The demodulation unit is provided in the wave guide tube, and acquires travelling wave power and reflected wave power for each frequency. The calculation unit calculates a frequency at which a reflection coefficient, which is calculated on the basis of the travelling wave power and the reflected wave power, for each frequency becomes a minimum point as an absorption frequency.

  • Publication number: 20200406420
    Abstract: A method for polishing a diamond crystal includes preparing a diamond crystal having a main surface having a plane orientation of (100). Mechanical polishing is performed on the main surface using a polishing wheel such that: a tangent contacts a curve extending in a rotation direction of the wheel and contacting a contact position between the diamond crystal and the wheel that is rotating; and a tangent direction of the tangent at the contact position is within a range of ±10 degrees relative to a <110> direction of the diamond crystal, thereby causing an affected region to appear such that the affected region is parallel to a direction of a plane orientation (111) of the diamond crystal and penetrates the diamond crystal onto the main surface. Chemical mechanical polishing is performed on the main surface to remove the affected region, thereby removing the affected region from the main surface.
