  • Patent number: 12712164
    Abstract: A method of cleaning a substrate processing apparatus that provides a processing space for accommodating a process wafer and includes a substrate support including an internal electrode, the method includes disposing a cover wafer on an upper surface of the substrate support; fixing the cover wafer to the substrate support using the internal electrode of the substrate support; plasma cleaning the processing space; and removing a current of the internal electrode and removing the cover wafer, wherein the cover wafer includes silicon carbide (SiC), a lower surface of the cover wafer is in contact with the substrate support, and an average roughness of an upper surface of the cover wafer is less than an average roughness of an upper surface of the process wafer.
