[Prior Art] For example, a processing device such as an etching processing device includes: a processing container having an airtight structure; and a holding body disposed in the container to hold the object to be processed 'generates plasma in the processing container, A predetermined process is applied to the object. If the processing of the object is continued, the processing container may be contaminated with by-products or the like, or internal parts may be consumed. Therefore, it is necessary to suspend the processing device 'to perform maintenance work such as cleaning of the processing container or replacement of consumables. After finishing the maintenance work, the processing device is started again. For example, when the etching processing device is restarted, it is necessary to supply a predetermined number of dummy wafers (dumm y w a f e r) to the processing container and repeat the etching cycle to adjust the processing container to a state required during production, so-called aging treatment. After the aging process is completed, check the etching rate or the uniformity of the etching in the wafer surface. In the aging process, the measurement data obtained from a plurality of simulated wafers is used, for example, the measurement data of the luminescence spectrum obtained from the endpoint detector, to perform data analysis. Observe the changes in this analytical data to determine whether the aging process is over. However, with the traditional analytical data, it is difficult to see whether the change of the judgment criterion as the end of the aging process is the change caused by the aging process, that is, the change in the state of the processing container, or the change between the simulated wafers. -6-(2) (2) 200421411 Changes in temperature. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to judge whether the aging treatment has ended. That is, the present inventors have performed, for example, a kind of principal component analysis using multivariate analysis. As described later, data analysis is performed on the measurement data. The analysis results show that there are two large peaks that indicate changes, and it is difficult to judge Chen. Whether the processing has ended. The principal component analysis will be described below. At this time, the measurement data is taken in the same way as the traditional method. For example, on the first day, 130 simulated wafers are supplied for etching, and on the second day, the production process is entered and 30 simulated wafers are supplied for etching. The principal component analysis was performed using the measurement data of the luminescence spectrum obtained from the 5 1 to 60 simulated wafers and the 121 to 130 simulated wafers on the first day, and the 8A and 8B images were obtained. And the analysis results shown in Figs. 9A and 9B. In principal component analysis, 297 kinds of wavelengths in the short wavelength range of 1 93 nm to 4 1 9 nm are used in a luminescence spectrum to measure the intensity of each wavelength 18 times per 3 seconds on a simulated wafer in one minute, and Principal component analysis was performed based on these measurement data. The principal component scores and residuals at each measurement were obtained, and the results of drawing HOTELLINGS TSQUARE (the sum of squares of principal components) are shown in Figures 8A and 9A. The results of plotting the sum of squares of residuals (residual scores) are 8B and 9B. From these analysis results, it can be understood that the data of any graphs on the first day and the second day have large peaks, and it is difficult to judge that the aging treatment is over. The horizontal axis of each graph indicates the number of measurements. The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object thereof is to provide a plasma processing method capable of clearly judging the end of aging treatment, and a detection method and a plasma processing device that are aged out. -7- (3) (3) 200421411 The inventors conducted various reviews on the causes of the two peaks identified, and found that the reason was the method of measuring data used for data analysis. Therefore, it is obtained that, by taking specific treatment of the processing container when taking the data, excluding the influence of the temperature change between the simulated wafers, and truly grasping the changes formed by the aging treatment, it is possible to determine the conclusion of the aging treatment.

It should be noted that the combination of the lower electrode 3 and the support 4 will be hereinafter referred to as a mounting table 10 as necessary. A gas introduction pipe 5A is formed in the center of the upper surface of the upper electrode 5, and this gas introduction pipe 5A penetrates the center of the upper surface of the processing container 2 via an insulating member 2C. A process gas supply source 12 is connected to the gas introduction pipe 5 A via a gas supply pipe 13, and an etching gas is supplied from the process gas supply source 12. That is, the process gas supply source 12 includes: a C 5 F 8 gas supply source 12A, a 02 gas supply source 12B, and an At * gas supply source 12C. These gas supply sources 12A, KB, and 12C are connected to the gas supply pipe 13 respectively. The branch pipes 1 3 A, 1 3 B, 1 3 C. Each branch pipe 1 3 A, 1 3 B, 1 3 C is provided with a flow control device corresponding to C 5 F 8 gas supply source 1 2 A, 0 2 gas supply source 12B, and Ar gas supply source 12C in order from the upstream side to the downstream side. 12D, -11-(7> (7> 200421411 12E, 12F and valves 12G, 12H, 12 I), through these flow control devices 12D, 12E, 12F and valves 12G, 12H, 12 I will be supplied to the processing container 2 The uranium engraving gas is controlled to a predetermined flow rate. A plurality of holes 5B are uniformly dispersed and formed under the upper electrode 5, and the processing gas is evenly distributed from the holes 5B into the processing container 2. Therefore, the processing is performed by the exhaust device 11 When the container 2 is evacuated and a predetermined etching gas is supplied from the processing gas supply source 12 at a constant flow rate, high-frequency power is applied to the lower electrode 3 and the upper electrode 5, respectively, so that etching is generated in the processing container 2. A gas plasma applies a predetermined etching to the wafer W on the lower electrode 3. The lower electrode 3 is provided with a temperature sensor (not shown), and the wafer of the lower electrode 3 is constantly monitored by the temperature sensor. Temperature of W. A predetermined refrigerant is formed on the mounting table 1 〇 For example, conventionally, the refrigerant flow path 10 A of the conventional fluorine-based fluid, water, etc., and the refrigerant flows in the refrigerant flow path 1 ο A, the lower electrode 3 is cooled, and the wafer W is cooled through the lower electrode 3, The wafer W is controlled at a desired temperature. At the same time, an electrostatic clamp 14 made of an insulating material is arranged on the lower electrode 3, and a high-voltage DC power source 15 is connected to the electrode plate 1 4 A in the electrostatic clamp 14. The clamp 14 is static electricity generated on the surface by the high voltage applied to the electrode plate 14A by the high-voltage DC power source 15 and the wafer W is electrostatically attracted. A focus ring 1 surrounding the electrostatic clamp 14 is arranged on the outer periphery of the lower electrode 3. 6. The plasma is collected on the wafer W through the focusing ring 16. The mounting table 10 is formed with a gas flow path 10B for supplying a thermally conductive gas such as He gas as a backside gas, and the gas flow path 10B is loaded. -12- (8) (8) 200421411 The openings are located in a plurality of places on the mounting table 10. These openings are consistent with the through-holes of the electrostatic clamps 14 formed on the mounting table 10. Therefore, when the mounting table 1 〇 When the back side gas is supplied to the gas channel 1 0B, the back side gas will pass through the gas The circuit 10B flows out through the through-holes of the electrostatic clamp 14 and spreads uniformly to the entire gap between the electrostatic clamp 14 and the wafer W, thereby improving the thermal conductivity between the gaps. Furthermore, in Figure 1, 17 is A gate valve for the loading and unloading of the switching wafer W formed in the processing container 2. The plasma processing apparatus 1 is equipped with, for example, an end point detector 18. The end point detector 18 is used to measure the plasma in the processing container 2. Take the measurement spectrum into the control device 19. This control device 19 stores a multivariate analysis program, such as a program for principal component analysis, and performs principal component analysis through this program. This component analysis program is used to analyze the aging data when the processing container 2 is aging. For the data analysis, measurement data of the emission spectrum of the end point detector 18 can be used. The measurement data uses, for example, 1,024 wavelengths in a range of 193 nm to 95 0 nm. The aging processing data analysis method according to this embodiment will be described below. It is a method for generating predictive measurement data that predicts the end of the aging processing. In other words, after replacing consumables such as a cleaning tool or a focus ring (not shown) in the processing container 2 ', in order to stabilize the processing container 2, the aging treatment is performed in the following procedure. First, after the plasma processing apparatus 1 is started on the first day, a dummy wafer (bare silicon) W is supplied into the processing container 2. Then, the etching gas is supplied into the processing container 2 from the gas supply pipe 13 to maintain a certain degree of vacuum, and high-frequency power such as 60 MHz and 2 MHz is applied from the local frequency power supply 6, 7-13 (9) (9) 200421411, etching. This process is repeated for, for example, 130 simulated wafers W. The processing of the first day ends with the processing of 130 simulated wafers W. Then, the uranium engraving process is suspended to be connected to the power source, that is, the processing container 2 is left in a state where it can be immediately restarted for several hours or more. In addition, the internal parts such as the processing container 2 itself and the lower electrode 3 that have become high temperature due to the etching process are cooled to a set temperature. Next, on the second day, the conditions of the production process are again used, for example, 30 simulated wafers W are supplied to the processing container 2 one at a time, and the etching cycle is repeated for each simulated wafer W. At the beginning of the etching cycle, since the processing container 2 is cooled, the temperature of the processing container 2 itself and the lower electrode 3 and the focus ring in the processing container 2 is slow during the period from the first simulation wafer w to the 30th. Slow rise. In this embodiment, the light emission spectrum of the simulated wafer W is measured 18 times within 1 minute at the time when the temperature of the first 20 of the 30 is changed, and the light emission intensity of the aforementioned 297 wavelengths is used as the principal component analysis. Measurement data. Therefore, these measurement data reflect the temperature change in the processing container 2. The above-mentioned data were used for YAD principal component analysis. For example, perform m measurements on 20 simulated wafers (18 X 2 0 = 360 times in this embodiment). 'If there are n measurements (in this embodiment, there are 297 wavelengths) Luminous intensity) measurement data, the ranks containing the measurement data can be expressed by Equation 1. The row of this row and column is the measurement data of the measurement wavelength obtained by one measurement, and its column is the measurement data of each wavelength that changes with time as its component. After the control device 19 obtains the average 値, the dispersed 値, and the standard deviation based on each of the measurement data, the control unit 19 standardizes the average 値 and the standard deviation -14- (10) (10) 200421411. Based on these normalized radon, the principal component analysis of a plurality of measurement data is performed using related rows and columns to obtain the intrinsic radon and its eigenvector. The intrinsic 値 represents the size of the dispersion of each measurement data, and it is defined as the first principal component, the second principal component, and the η-th principal component in the order of the magnitude of the intrinsic 値. At the same time, each eigenvector has its own eigenvector (weight). In general, the higher the power of the main component, the lower the contribution rate to the evaluation of the data, and the lighter its utilization price. Equation 1 "

Therefore, even if there is a variety of measurement data in the principal component analysis, it is possible to integrate statistics such as the first principal component and the second principal number, investigate a few statistics, and judge that the aging process is over. For example, the component 'up to the third main component of Shaowei # can grasp the state of aging treatment'-generally, if the first and second main components are -16- (12) (12) 200421411 points, the cumulative contribution rate of the intrinsic 値When it exceeds 90%, the reliability of the evaluation based on the first and second principal components is high. The first principal component indicates the direction in which the measurement data is most widely dispersed as described above, and is suitable for grasping the change of the aging treatment of the processing container 2 with time and judging that the aging treatment is finished. Changes that cannot be grasped by the first and second principal components can be grasped by the residual score. In this embodiment, the main component of Brother 1 is obtained. Therefore, in the present embodiment, etching is performed on the simulated wafer W under the following conditions. From the principal component analysis of the measurement data at this time, the intrinsic volume can be obtained using the correlation rank of the measurement data. The largest intrinsic volume becomes the dispersion of the first principal component score. The eigenvector of the first principal component can be obtained by using the eigenvalue and the related ranks. The principal component score of each measurement data is calculated, and the result of drawing the sum of squares of each principal component score (HOTELLINGS TSQUARE) is the graph shown in Figure 2. From this graph, it can be understood that only the measurement data on the first day saw a large peak, and the measurement data on the second day did not see a large peak, it can be sure that the aging treatment is over. At the same time, the result of plotting the sum of squared residuals of each measurement data is the curve shown in Figure 2B. In this picture, only a large peak is seen in the measurement data on the first day, and it can be surely judged that the aging treatment is over. The horizontal axis of each graph indicates the number of measurements. In this embodiment mode, one simulation wafer W is measured 18 times, and 160 simulation wafers W are processed in two days.

After the processing container 2 is left for several hours, the parts such as the lower electrode 3 of the processing container section are cooled, and then they are again entered between 20 simulated wafers W to judge and age the processing data. Therefore, the processing container 2 and its parts can be reflected. The temperature change measurement data can be used to analyze the peak value of the temperature change. At the same time, since the analysis result must be sure to detect the end of the aging treatment, and judge to detect the end of the aging treatment and perform the plasma treatment, then The uranium can be processed.

Therefore, it is true that the form in which the wafer is stabilized is different from -18- (14) (14) 200421411. The average value of 18 measurement data (297 wavelengths) obtained for each simulated wafer W is obtained. Then, a principal component analysis is performed using these average 値, and the 値 and the eigenvector are obtained. The sum of the sum of the squares of the principal component scores and the sum of the squares of the residuals of each of the simulation wafers W are the graphs shown in Figs. 3A and 3B. It can be clearly seen from FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B that, similar to the curve of the above embodiment shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, it can be judged that the aging process is finished. Furthermore, the number on the horizontal axis is the number of simulated wafers. Figs. 4A, 5A, and 5B are diagrams showing a data analysis method according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, 10 kinds of wavelengths (for example, wavelengths surrounded by 0 in FIG. 4) that have a large contribution to the residuals of the measurement data are selected. These 10 kinds of wavelengths are the same as those described above. In the same manner as in the embodiment, after calculating the average value for each simulation wafer W, the main cost analysis is performed using these average values to obtain the intrinsic value and the intrinsic vector. The first principal component score and residual score of each simulation wafer W are plotted, and the results are graphs shown in Figs. 5A and 5B. As can be clearly seen from Figures 5A and 5B, compared with the embodiment shown in Figures 2A and 2B, the tortuosity of the curve is reduced, and it becomes a smooth and smooth curve. It is easier to judge the end of the aging process. 6A and 6B are diagrams showing a data analysis method according to still another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, similar to the embodiment shown in Figs. 5A and 5B, 10 kinds of wavelengths having a high contribution rate to the residual are selected. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the time average of the measurement data of each wavelength of the simulation wafer W is used. However, in the embodiment -19- (15) (15) 200421411, the measurement data itself is used. One point is the same as that shown in Figs. 2A and 2B. However, in the rows and columns shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, “the components are measurement data obtained by one measurement”, and the components in the columns are measurement data of each wavelength changing with time. However, this embodiment is based on each simulation. The wafer W and each wavelength transpose the rows and columns. One line is measured 16 times for 10 wavelengths, so it has 10 X 1 6 = 1 60 components. One column is because 20 wafers are put into the training set. Therefore, the training set with 20 component principal component analysis is 20 rows and 160 columns.
