Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance the uniforming of the ashing rate by a method wherein cylindrical inner and outer electrodes are arranged inside and outside of a longitudinal cylindrical chamber while a heater halved at least in the height direction is arranged outside this outer electrode and then two temperature controllers are to be annexed respectively to these heaters. CONSTITUTION:The temperature of the title coaxial plasma processor is maintained at 80 deg.C by an upper heater 7 and a lower heater 8 so that plasma may be produced between an outer electrode 6 and an inner electrode 5 to start the ashing step of wafers W. The temperature in a chamber 2 slowly raised during the ashing step for about 15 minutes can be restrained from rising by turning-off the upper heater 7 using an upper controller 9 as well as slowly throtlling the lower heater 8 using a lower controller 11. At this time, since the higher the position in the processor, the higher the temperature therein by the effect of draft, the specified temperature of 80 deg.C is to be maintained using the lower heater 8 after the plasma is produced. Through these procedures, the ashing rate can effectively be prevented from deteriorating.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The preheater 105
Is attached for the purpose of increasing the ashing rate to some extent by keeping the apparatus temperature at a constant value. However, when plasma is generated in the coaxial plasma processing apparatus, the temperature of the cylindrical chamber 100 tends to gradually rise due to the heat of the plasma. Then, the cylindrical chamber 100 of the coaxial type plasma processing apparatus has a wafer 107 of 50-
It is vertically long because 100 sheets are stacked and stored. Therefore, it was found that the upper portion of the cylindrical chamber 100 has a higher temperature than the lower portion due to the draft action. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the upper wafer 107 is not preferable because the difference in the ashing rate between the center and the edge of the wafer becomes significant.
