Description
[プラズマ処理装置の構成]
最初に、第1実施形態に係るプラズマ処理装置10の概略的な構成を説明する。図1は、プラズマ処理装置の概略的な構成を示す概略断面図である。プラズマ処理装置10は、気密に構成され、電気的に接地電位とされた処理容器1を有している。この処理容器1は、円筒状とされ、例えば表面に陽極酸化被膜が形成されたアルミニウム等から構成されている。処理容器1は、プラズマが生成される処理空間を画成する。処理容器1内には、被処理体(work-piece)であるウェハWを水平に支持する第1の載置台2が収容されている。
次に、図2を参照して、第1実施形態に係る第1の載置台2及び第2の載置台7の要部構成について説明する。図2は、第1の載置台及び第2の載置台の要部構成を示す概略断面図である。
次に、制御部100について詳細に説明する。図6は、第1実施形態に係るプラズマ処理装置を制御する制御部の概略的な構成を示したブロック図である。制御部100は、通信インターフェース160と、プロセスコントローラ161と、ユーザインターフェース162と、記憶部163とが設けられている。
次に、第2実施形態について説明する。第2実施形態に係るプラズマ処理装置10は、図1から図3に示す第1実施形態に係るプラズマ処理装置10の構成と同様であるため、説明を省略する。
