Abstract: A deposit deposited on an upper electrode of a plasma processing apparatus having an electromagnet, which is provided on an upper portion of a processing chamber and includes concentrically arranged annular coils, can be removed by performing a cleaning method of the plasma processing apparatus. The cleaning method of the plasma processing apparatus includes introducing a preset cleaning gas into the processing chamber and generating plasma of the preset cleaning gas by applying a high frequency power between the upper electrode and a lower electrode; and generating a magnetic field by supplying electric currents to the coils, and adjusting an amount of the electric current supplied to each of the coils individually depending on a distribution of a thickness of the deposit deposited on the upper electrode in a radial direction thereof.

Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device. The method includes providing an object to be processed including a multilayer film formed by alternately laminating a first film and a second film having different dielectric coefficients within a processing container of a plasma processing apparatus; and repeatedly performing a sequence including: supplying a first gas including O2 gas or N2 gas, and a rare gas into the processing container and exciting the first gas, supplying a second gas including a fluorocarbon gas or a fluorohydrocarbon gas into the processing container and exciting the second gas, and supplying a third gas including HBr gas, a fluorine-containing gas, and a fluorocarbon gas or a fluorohydrocarbon gas into the processing container and exciting the third gas, so that the multilayer film is etched through a mask.
