Publication number: 20110024048Abstract: In a plasma oxidation processing apparatus (100) which supplies a high-frequency bias power to an electrode (7) embedded in a stage (5), the interior surface, which is to be exposed to a plasma, of an aluminum lid (27) which functions as an opposite electrode for the stage (5) is coated with a silicon film (48) as a protective film. Positioned adjacent to the silicon film (48), an upper liner (49a) and a thicker lower liner (49b) are provided on the interior surfaces of a second container (3) and a first container (2). This prevents a short circuit or abnormal electrical discharge to the interior surfaces, making it possible to form a proper high-frequency current path and enhance the efficiency of power consumption.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2009Publication date: February 3, 2011Applicant: Tokyo Electron LimitedInventors: Hideo Nakamura, Jun Yamashita, Junichi Kitagawa, Yoshiro Kabe, Yoshinori Fukuda
