  • Publication number: 20220270940
    Abstract: An abnormality detection method includes: supplying a gas controlled to a selected rate to a gas supply pipe via the gas pipe connected to the gas supply pipe, thereby introducing the gas into a reaction region of a processing container provided in a processing apparatus from a gas hole of the gas supply pipe; measuring a pressure inside the gas pipe by a pressure gauge attached to the gas pipe; and detecting an abnormality of at least one of the gas supply pipe and the gas pipe based on the pressure measured at the measuring.

  • Patent number: 11281116
    Abstract: The present invention provides a substrate stage and a substrate processing apparatus that appropriately control a temperature of a staging surface on which a substrate is placed. The substrate stage includes a stage base including a cooling surface therein, and a supply flow path forming member formed of a material having a lower thermal conductivity than that of the stage base and including cooling nozzles configured to spray a coolant toward the cooling surface.

  • Publication number: 20160358756
    Abstract: Disclosed is a plasma processing apparatus including: a processing container that includes a bottom portion and a sidewall and defines a processing space; a microwave generator that generates microwaves; and a dielectric window attached to the sidewall of the processing container. The dielectric window is supported by a support surface formed in an upper end portion of the sidewall or a support surface formed in a conductor member disposed in the upper end portion of the sidewall, and includes a non-facing portion that does not face the processing space. Corner portions are formed on surfaces of the non-facing portion to fix a position of a node of standing waves. A distance from a sidewall corner portion to at least one of the plurality of corner portions is a distance in which a position of another node of the standing waves overlaps with a position of the sidewall corner portion.

  • Publication number: 20150294839
    Abstract: Disclosed is a plasma processing apparatus including a processing container, a placing table, a central introduction section, and a peripheral introduction section. The central introduction section is provided above the placing table. The central introduction introduces a gas toward the placing table along the axis passing through a center of the placing table. The peripheral introduction section is provided between the central introduction section and a top surface of the placing table in a height direction. In addition, the peripheral introduction section is formed along a side wall. The peripheral introduction section provides a plurality of gas ejection ports arranged in a circumferential direction with respect to the axis. The plurality of gas ejection ports of the peripheral introduction section extend away from the placing table as the gas ejection ports come close to the axis.
