Abstract
Description
Claims (4)
- 真空チャンバ内の部分に付着した付着物に応じて選択されるクリーニングガスを真空雰囲気の真空チャンバ内に一定の流量で連続して導入し、クリーニングガスを励起してプラズマを発生させ、プラズマ中のイオン、ラジカルを付着物と反応させて反応生成ガスとし、この反応生成ガスを真空ポンプによって一定の排気速度で連続して真空排気する間に、クリーニングの終点を検知する工程を含む真空処理装置のクリーニング方法において、
プラズマ中のイオン、ラジカルと付着物との反応に伴って変化する真空チャンバ内の状態量を測定し、前記状態量を真空チャンバに設けたピラニ真空計の圧力指示値として単位時間当たりに測定される状態量を第1標本としてこの第1標本から回帰直線を夫々求め、順次求められる回帰直線の傾きを第2標本とし、この第2標本における各傾きが予め設定される終点検知条件を満たすと、クリーニング終点として判定し、
前記終点検知条件に、クリーニングの終点に向う傾向を示す傾き条件と、傾き条件を所定回数だけ検知したらクリーニングの終点と判定できる回数条件と、クリーニングの終点を判定するまでの状態量の変動幅を含むことを特徴とする真空処理装置のクリーニング方法。 - 前記状態量として、真空チャンバに取り付けた真空計で測定される圧力を用いることを特徴とする請求項1記載の真空処理装置のクリーニング方法。
- 前記終点検知条件の前記回数条件を任意に設定変更可能としたことを特徴とする請求項1または請求項2記載の真空処理装置のクリーニング方法。
- 前記終点検知条件に、前記クリーニングの終点を判定した時点からの追加時間を含み、追加時間に達した時点をもってクリーニングの終点として検知し、追加時間を任意に設定変更可能としたことを特徴とする請求項1~請求項3のいずれか1項に記載の真空処理装置のクリーニング方法。
