Here, the inductively coupled plasma processing apparatus is advantageous in that the etching efficiency with respect to the metal is relatively higher than that with the reactive ion etching apparatus or the capacitively coupled plasma etching apparatus, but there is a difficulty in using the inductively coupled plasma processing apparatus for etching large area substrates. In detail, since the inductively coupled plasma processing apparatus used for etching a large area substrate has non-uniform plasma, a variable capacitor (VVC: Vacuum Variable Capacitor) has been applied to improve it.
Meanwhile, the variable capacitor used in the inductively coupled plasma apparatus is connected to and driven by the driving unit. In particular, the variable capacitor and the driving unit are disposed in the receiving space of the lead accommodating the antenna connected to the RF power source.
When the variable capacitor and the driving unit are accommodated in the receiving space of the lead together with the antenna, the leads have a certain height. In this way, since the lead has a constant height, the radius of rotation increases according to the height of the lead during cleaning of the lead, which may lead to an inefficient problem that the working space for cleaning the lead becomes large.
