  • Publication number: 20210142982
    Abstract: A plasma processing method according to an embodiment is performed in a state in which a substrate is placed on a support stage in an internal space of a chamber body. In the plasma processing method, a plasma treatment is performed on the substrate. Subsequently, a phase of a voltage of a lower electrode is relatively adjusted with respect to a phase of a voltage of an upper electrode by a phase adjustment circuit, such that a thickness of a sheath between the support stage and plasma without extinguishing the plasma generated in order to perform the plasma treatment. Thereafter, in a state in which supply of a high-frequency power is stopped, gases and particles in the internal space of the chamber body are discharged using an exhaust device.

  • Patent number: 10872764
    Abstract: Disclosed is a film forming method including forming a metal oxide film on a base film by alternately supplying a metal-containing gas and a plasmatized oxidizing gas. The metal-containing gas is changed from a first metal-containing gas having no halogen to a second metal-containing gas different from the first metal-containing gas during the film forming of the metal oxide film.

  • Publication number: 20190385815
    Abstract: A film forming apparatus includes a vacuum-evacuable processing chamber, a lower electrode for mounting thereon a target substrate, an upper electrode disposed to face the lower electrode, a gas supply unit, a voltage application unit and a switching unit. The gas supply unit supplies a film forming source gas to be formed into plasma to a processing space between the upper and the lower electrode. The voltage application unit applies to the upper electrode a voltage outputted from at least one of a high frequency power supply and a DC power supply included therein. The switching unit selectively switches the voltage to be applied to the upper electrode among a high frequency voltage outputted from the high frequency power supply, a DC voltage outputted from the DC power supply, and a superimposed voltage in which the DC voltage is superimposed with the high frequency voltage.
