  • Patent number: 12249491
    Abstract: The inventive concept relates to a substrate support unit provided in an apparatus for treating a substrate using plasma. In an embodiment, the substrate support unit includes a dielectric plate on which the substrate is placed, a lower electrode that is disposed under the dielectric plate and that has a first diameter, a power supply rod that applies RF power to the lower electrode and has a second diameter, and a ground member disposed under the lower electrode and spaced apart from the lower electrode by a first gap by an insulating member, the ground member including a plate portion having a through-hole formed therein through which the power supply rod passes, in which the through-hole has a third diameter.

  • Publication number: 20240055229
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of controlling a plasma processing apparatus, and a plasma processing apparatus for performing the method. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a method of controlling a plasma processing apparatus includes supplying power having a sine wave from a high-frequency power source to a lower electrode to generate a plasma; and supplying power from the high-frequency power source to the lower electrode, to control an ion in the generated plasma, and when a voltage of a wafer disposed on the lower electrode has a negative peak value in a phase region, inputting a negative DC voltage to a focusing ring by a DC power source.
