  • Patent number: 12125685
    Abstract: A plasma processing apparatus may include a lower electrode supporting a wafer; a focus ring surrounding an edge of the lower electrode and having a ring shape; and an edge ring disposed in a position lower than a position of the focus ring. The focus ring may include a lower region and an upper region disposed on the lower region, and the upper region increases in electrical conductivity as the upper region is closer to the lower region.
    Type: Grant
