The rib includes a rib top surface a, a rib bottom surface b opposite to the rib top surface, and a side surface c between the rib top surface and the rib bottom surface. The width of the rib top surface a is smaller than that of the rib bottom surface b; the rib is connected with the bottom surface of the ring body through the rib top surface a. The width of the rib bottom surface b is equal to or smaller than the width of the single ring body, and the narrow width of the rib top surface a corresponding to the position of the gas channel 2 can reduce the blocking of the gas flow by the ribs. In particular cases, for example, where it is desired to change the direction of the air flow through the ribs, the width of the bottom surfaces of the ribs may be greater than the width of the ring body wall or may be at other angles to the sides. At least one of the side faces c of the rib is inclined, and the angle θ between the inclined side face and the bottom face of the rib needs to be greater than 45 °. After the gas flows out of the gas channel 2, it can continue along the side c of the rib below the ring body 1.

At least a portion of each rib is non-perpendicular to a tangent at its intersection with the ring body. For example, each rib may not be disposed radially of the ring body, or a portion of each rib may not be disposed radially of the ring body.

The invention also provides a plasma processing device which is a capacitive coupling type plasma etching device or an inductive coupling type plasma reaction device. The plasma processing apparatus uses any of the confinement rings described above, as shown in fig. 16. The plasma processing device is used for carrying out plasma deposition, etching and other treatments on the wafer, and comprises a reaction cavity, wherein a pedestal 6 is arranged in the reaction cavity and is used for bearing the wafer 7. In the reaction chamber of the plasma processing apparatus, the confinement ring is located between the susceptor 6 and the chamber wall 5 of the reaction chamber, and the confinement ring is disposed around the susceptor 6. Below the confinement rings is an exhaust zone, as shown in fig. 16. The reaction cavity is communicated with a gas supply device 8, and reaction gas is injected into the reaction cavity through the gas supply device 8 to form plasma 10 for processing the wafer 7; the reaction chamber is also communicated with an exhaust pump 9, and the reaction gas is pumped out of the reaction chamber through the exhaust pump 9, and byproducts generated by processing the wafer, such as particles and the like, are discharged out of the reaction chamber along with the gas flow. The exhaust pump 9 may be a molecular pump or a dry pump.
When the exhaust pump is operated, the gas in the reaction chamber flows from above the wafer 7 to the confinement ring surrounding the susceptor 6, passes through the gas passage 2 of the confinement ring, is discharged to the exhaust area below the confinement ring, and is exhausted from the reaction chamber through the exhaust pump 9. The confinement rings confine the plasma in the reaction zone while exhausting the gas, avoiding leakage of the plasma to the exhaust zone. When the gas flowing out of the gas channel 2 flows to the area provided with the ribs 3 at the bottom of the ring body 1, part of the gas flow encounters the ribs 3, and flows from the top surface of the ribs to the side surfaces of the ribs, and flows to the exhaust area along the inclined side surfaces of the ribs.
