  • Patent number: 11862431
    Abstract: The present invention comprises: a high-frequency power supply; an antenna group having a plurality of antennas connected to the high-frequency power supply; a plurality of reactance variable elements connected to the feeding sides and the grounding sides of the plurality of antennas; a current detection mechanism which detects the current flowing through the feeding sides and the ground sides of the plurality of antennas; a uniformity calculation unit which calculates the uniformity index value of the current flowing through the plurality of antennas, on the basis of the current value detected by the current detection mechanism; and a reactance changing unit which sequentially changes the reactance of the plurality of reactance variable elements such that the uniformity index value calculated by the uniformity calculation unit approaches a predetermined set value.

  • Publication number: 20210095377
    Abstract: The present invention provides a substrate heating system and a substrate processing device. The substrate heating system comprises: a top plate on which a substrate is mounted; a heater that is provided to a lower surface of the top plate; a plate temperature detection part that detects the temperature of the top plate; a heater temperature detection part that detects the temperature of the heater; and a heater control part that controls the output of the heater on the basis of the detected temperature of the heater and the detected temperature of the top plate. The heater control part controls the output of the heater such that a detected temperature difference between the detected temperature of the heater and the detected temperature of the top plate does not exceed a prescribed temperature difference upper limit and such that the detected temperature of the top plate is a prescribed set temperature.
