  • Publication number: 20240096607
    Abstract: A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus includes: a chamber including a top plate; a holder provided in the chamber and configured to place a substrate; a high-frequency power source configured to apply high-frequency power to the holder; a gas supply pipe configured to supply a gas to the chamber; a gas discharge pipe configured to discharge a gas from the chamber; and a plurality of lift pins configured to move the substrate in a direction away from the holder to the top plate, which allows tip ends of the lift pins to move from an upper surface of the holder to a position with a first distance, wherein the first distance is equal to or greater than about 70% of a second distance between the upper surface of the holder and the top plate.
