Abstract

A plane parallel plasma processing apparatus includes an impedance adjustment unit having a capacitive component, which is disposed between a lower electrode and a processing chamber. The impedance adjustment unit adjusts the value of the impedance over the path extending from an upper electrode to a grounded casing of a matching circuit via plasma, the lower electrode and the wall of the processing chamber to a level lower than the value of the impedance over the path extending from the upper electrode to the grounded casing of the matching circuit via the plasma and the wall of the processing chamber, and thus, highly uniform plasma can be generated by minimizing the generation of plasma in the space between the cathode electrode and the processing chamber wall.

Description of the invention [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a plasma processing apparatus and a plasma processing apparatus for plasma-processing a processing gas using high-frequency power and performing a process such as etching on a substrate using the plasma. Approach. [Prior art] In the manufacturing steps of flat plates such as semiconductor elements and liquid crystal display devices, plasma etching equipment is used to perform process processing such as etching treatment and film formation processing on substrates such as semiconductor wafers and glass substrates. And plasma CVD film forming equipment. Fig. 17 is a parallel flat-plate type plasma processing device conventionally used. The structure of the plasma processing device is arranged in a processing container 11 made of, for example, aluminum, etc., and an upper electrode 12 is also used as a gas shower head for forming a gas supply part. The opposite φ of the upper electrode 12 also serves as a mounting table for the substrate 10, and the lower electrode 13 is used. The structure of the upper electrode 12 is a state in which the processing container 11 is fully electrically floating by using an insulating material 14 and is a cathode connected to the high-frequency power source 17 through an integrated circuit (matching circuit) 15. The structure of the lower electrode 13 is connected to the anode of the processing container 11 via a conductive circuit 18. The conductive circuit 18 is constituted by a shaft 18a, a support plate 18b, and a folded body 18c in this example. Secondly, the upper side of the processing container 11 is connected to a high-frequency power source 17 through a matching box 16 of a grounded casing, and more specifically, it is connected to a high-frequency-5-200540987 (2) power source. Ground the external layers of the coaxial cables 17 and 16 of the matching box. Fig. 18 is an equivalent circuit of a high-frequency current conducting circuit of the plasma processing apparatus of Fig. 17. When the plasma is generated in the processing vessel 1 1, because capacitive coupling occurs between the upper electrode 12 and the lower electrode 13, the path of the high-frequency current from the high-frequency power source 17 is the integrated circuit 15 —the upper electrode 12 —the plasma 4 The lower electrode 13-the conductive circuit 18-the wall portion of the processing container 11-> the matching box 16-is grounded. φ However, flat substrate glass substrates such as liquid crystal displays among substrates to be processed tend to become larger and larger. In the future, it may be necessary to process objects of the size of 0.5 tsubo. The inductance component of the container 11 becomes larger. Therefore, the bonding between the upper electrode 12 and the lower electrode 13 becomes weaker, and a plasma may be generated between the upper electrode 12 and the wall portion of the processing container 11 (Figure 18). (Labeled as capacitive coupling). If the plasma is generated as described above, the plasma in the processing container 11 will deviate to the periphery, and as a result, the substrate 10 cannot be treated with high in-plane uniformity, and even the inner wall or the inside of the processing container 11 cannot be processed. Parts are easily damaged or consumed. On the other hand, Patent Document 1 describes a technique in which an impedance adjustment circuit is provided between the lower electrode and the ground in order to control the diffusion state of the plasma. However, this technique is used during film formation and eradication. By changing the settings of the impedance adjustment circuit to obtain a plasma that conforms to each program, the above-mentioned problems are not focused on, and no solution is described. [Patent Document 1] Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 1 1 -3 1 6 8 5: Paragraph 0014 [Summary of the Invention] -6-200540987 (3) In view of the above situation, the present invention provides a plasma processing apparatus and The plasma processing method can suppress the generation of plasma between the cathode and the wall portion of the processing container, generate plasma with high uniformity, and perform plasma processing with high in-plane uniformity on the substrate. The present invention relates to a plasma treatment device. The purpose of the present invention is to plasma-process a processing gas in a processing container using high-frequency power, and use the plasma to process a substrate. The processing vessel is an insulated and oppositely disposed cathode and anode; one end side is connected to the high-frequency power source of the cathode through an integrated circuit; and one end side is connected to the anode and the other end side is connected to the processing container. Impedance adjustment section containing a capacitor component; and the substrate is placed on the electrode on the lower side among the cathode and anode, and the impedance adjustment section passes the cathode through the plasma, the anode, and the wall portion of the processing container to the integrated circuit. The impedance 为止 until the grounded casing is smaller than the impedance 从 from the cathode through the plasma and the wall of the processing container to the grounded casing of the integrated circuit described above. φ "The cathode and anode are insulated from the processing vessel" means that the parts other than the impedance adjustment part are fully electrically floating relative to the processing vessel. In addition, the path from the cathode through the plasma, the anode, and the wall of the processing container to the grounded shell of the integrated circuit is referred to as a path with a uniform direction with respect to the plasma of the substrate. In addition, the path from the cathode through the plasma and the wall of the processing container to the grounded shell of the integrated circuit is referred to as the path with higher plasma density relative to the wall (that is, the voltage relative to the substrate). Slurry is an uneven path). In addition, other inventions are a plasma treatment device, the purpose of which is to treat

高頻電流從上部電極3經由電漿流至處理容器2之壁部之 情形,故利用阻抗調整部6調整從下部電極5至處理容器 2之上部爲止之路徑(回路)之阻抗。 第2圖係第1圖之電漿處理裝置之針對高頻電流之等 φ 效電路。因爲處理容器2可視爲電感成分,故以電感來表 示。C 1係以電容成分來標示上部電極3及下部電極5間 之電漿,C2係以電容成分來表示上部電極3及處理容器2 之壁部間之電漿。 其次,該實施形態之目的,係利用阻抗調整部6之電 容成分(C)抵銷電漿之電容(C1)及下部電極5至處理容器2 之上部爲止之路徑之電感(L),前述路徑之阻抗爲j^l/ω Cl + Ω l-1/ω C),故小於包含上部電極3 —電漿->處理容器 2之壁部之相對於壁部之電漿密度較高之路徑之阻抗。因 -15- 200540987 (12) 此’阻抗調整部6係含有電容成分之物,該形態可以爲例 如使用第3圖A所示之可變電容器6 1、使用第3圖B所 示之固定電容之電容器62及可變電容器61之組合、使用 第3圖C所示之固定電容之電容器62、使用第3圖D所 示之可變電容器6 1及可變電容器63之組合、以及使用第 3圖E所示之可變電感之電容器64及固定電容之電容器 62等各種構成。只使用固定電容之電容器62時,亦可以 φ 利用更換電容不同之電容器來調整阻抗値。 降低上述之相對於基板之電漿爲均一之方向之路徑之 阻抗時’由後述之實驗例可知,求其變更阻抗調整部6之 阻抗値時流過該路徑之電流値,並以使其成爲最大値之方 式來進行設定最爲理想,亦即,相對於基板之電漿爲均一 之方向之路徑之阻抗爲最小之方式來進行設定最爲理想, 然而,實際上只要求電流之最大値之2 %以內即可,至少 要以電流之最大値之10%以內之方式來進行設定。 • 針對此種實施形態之作用效果進行說明。首先,打開 閘閥24從圖上未標示之隔絕室以圖上未標示之搬運臂將 基板10搬入處理容器2內,利用貫通下部電極5之圖上 未標示之昇降銷間之連動將基板1 0載置於下部電極5上 。其次,關閉閘閥24,從處理氣體供給部3 3經由上部電 極3對處理容器2內供應處理氣體,而且,利用真空排氣 手段22實施真空排氣而使處理容器2內維持於特定壓力 。其次,以高頻電源4對上部電極3及下部電極5之間施 加例如1〇1^心〜30141^、101^〜之高頻電力,會激勵處理 -16- 200540987 (13) 氣體而產生電漿。處理氣體係例如由含有鹵素氣體之例如 鹵素化合物所構成之氣體、氧氣、以及氬氣等。 因爲產生電漿,故高頻電流會流過上部電極電漿 ->下部電極5->阻抗調整部6 —處理容器2 —匹配箱42 —同 軸電纜44之外層部43->接地之所謂相對於基板之電漿爲 均一之方向之路徑,然而,該路徑之阻抗値係以成爲大致 最小値之方式來進行設定,故會小於上部電極3 —電漿 φ 處理容器2 —匹配箱42 —同軸電纜44之外層部43 —接地之 路徑之阻抗値,而使上部電極3及處理容器2之壁部間不 易產生電漿。結果,電漿集中於上部電極3及下部電極5 之間,而使基板1 〇上之電漿具有高面內均一性。對基板 1 〇之表面利用該電漿實施例如蝕刻處理,因 電漿之面向 均一性較高,故蝕刻速度之面內均一性亦較高,因此,可 對面內實施均一之蝕刻。此外,亦可抑制處理容器2之內 壁及內部部品之受損及消耗。 φ 此外,本實施形態係如第4圖所示,依處理之類別將 阻抗調整部6之適當調整値以例如圖表之方式儲存於控制 部7之記憶部,選取處理之類別後,從例如圖表之資料讀 取對應該處理之前述適當調整値,控制部7對用以驅動例 如可變電容器之調正機構之阻抗調整部6之致動器之馬達 輸出控制信號。具體實例如下所示,亦即,連續實施不同 之蝕刻處理時針對各蝕刻處理決定前述適當設定値之實例 、或實施連續成膜程序時針對各成膜處理決定前述適當設 定値之實例等。 -17- 200540987 (14) 依據本實施形態,對陰極及陽極間施加高頻電力而產 生電漿並利用該電漿對基板實施處理時,在陽極(與連結 著高頻電源之電極相對之電極爲陽極)及處理容器之間配 設含有電容成分之阻抗調整部,使從陰極經由電漿、陽極 、及處理容器之壁部至整合電路之接地殼體爲止之阻抗値 小於從陰極經由電漿及處理容器之壁部至前述整合電路之 接地殼體爲止之阻抗値,故可抑制陰極及處理容器之壁部 φ 間之電漿之產生,產生高均一性之電漿而可對基板實施高 面向均一性之電漿處理。 (第1實施形態之變形例) 本實施形態之變形例之電漿處理裝置如第5圖A及第 5圖B所示,配設著例如3個阻抗調整部6A、6B、6C之 複數個阻抗調整部6。本變形例之電漿處理裝置時,阻抗 調整部6A、6B、6C之一端側應分別連結於下部電極5之 φ 縱向(寬度方向)上之相互隔離之部位PA、PB、PC。大致 而言,將方形之基板1 〇以例如第5圖B之1點線分割成 3區域,針對各分割區域將與處理容器2間之阻抗設定成 適當値。該適當値係可得到高均一性之電漿之値,例如, 預先重複實施試誤來針對各處理找出各阻抗調整部6A、 6B、6C之適當値。 以更模式化之實例而言,例如中央之電漿較強時,增 加對應於中央部之阻抗調整部6B之電容値而使中央部之 下部電極5及處理容器2間之阻抗値變大,而且,減少對 -18- 200540987 (15) 應於邊緣部之阻抗調整部6A、6C之電容値,藉此,實施 將電漿較強部份從中央移至邊緣側之調整。亦即,此種實 施形態時,係以含有阻抗調整部6A、6B、6C之倂聯電路 之阻抗値之如前所述之相對於基板之電漿爲均一之方向之 路徑之阻抗値小於經由上部電極3 —電漿處理容器2之 壁部之該相對於壁部之電漿密度較高之路徑之阻抗値之方 式來設定阻抗調整部6A、6B、6C之各阻抗値爲前提,滿 φ 足該條件並調整各阻抗値,可以對基板1 〇之面方向之電 漿強度進行精細調整,因此,係處理尺寸較大之基板時可 產生高均一性高電漿之極爲有效之技術。本發明者發現, 例如,以扁平板用之方形基板而言,例如基板之面積爲 1 m2以上之大型基板時,很難使電漿在面內處於高均一性 之狀態,若能精細調整電漿之分布,即可提高均一性,而 且,亦可抑制局部之異常放電。其次,尤其是該高頻電力 之合計値爲較大之10kW以上時,很容易發生異常放電, φ 故配設複數個阻抗調整部之構成係極爲有效之方法。 如第5圖A及第5圖B所示,配設阻抗調整部6A、 6B、6C時,應在對應前述部位PA、PB、PC之位置上分 別配設從支持部51下面延伸出來之保護管52 A〜52C,而 且,針對各保護管52 A〜52C配設獨立之支持板53,此外 ,各支持板5 3及處理容器2之間應配設如第1圖所示之 摺體54。 此種下部電極5之阻抗調整區域之分割,並未受限於 3分割,例如,亦可以爲縱橫皆爲2等分,而對整體進行 -19- 200540987 (16) 4分割,再針對各分割區域配設阻抗調整部。 其次,此種實施形態亦應如第6圖所示,將對應於處 理類別之各阻抗調整部6A、6B、6C之各調整値儲存於控 制部7內之記憶部,並對應選取之處理設定各阻抗調整部 6A、6B、6C之阻抗値。 此外,阻抗調整部6亦可不使用可變電容器及固定電 容之電容器等電容元件,而使用如第7圖A〜第7圖C所 φ 示之用以構成電容成分之電介質板等。第7圖A之實例之 構成,係在下部電極5及處理容器2之底部間配設由電介 質之板8所構成之可自由更換之阻抗調整部。該電介質板 8之電容値係以如前所述之滿足路徑之阻抗値之條件來進 行設定。 第7圖B所示之實例係對應使用複數個阻抗調整部 6A、6B、6C之第5圖A之實例,其構成上,中央部(例如 ,平面觀看時爲方形之區域)及邊緣部(平面觀看時爲方形 • 框狀之區域)之電介質之電容不同,亦即,係使用2種類 之電介質板8A、8B。本實例係電介質板之厚度相同而以 變更材質來改變電容,然而,亦可如第7圖C所示,變更 下部電極5之厚度,例如,增加中央部之厚度,而減少該 區域之電介質板8之厚度,藉此,可改變中央部及邊緣部 之電容。 上述實施形態時,高頻電源4係連結於上部電極3側 ,然而,其構成上,亦可以將高頻電源4連結於下部電極 5側。此時,阻抗調整部6連結於上部電極3及處理容器 -20- 200540987 (17) 2之例如上面之上部之間。此時,阻抗調整部6亦可以配 設於上部電極3及處理容器2之側壁部之間,然而,以配 設於較上部電極3爲下側之位置爲佳。第8圖係在此種類 型之裝置配設3個阻抗調整部6 A〜6C之實例。3個阻抗 調整部6 A〜6C之配設位置係對應於例如第5圖A及第5 圖B所示之PA〜PC之位置,然而,阻抗調整部6之數亦 可以爲2個或4個以上。如上所示,阻抗調整部6可以爲 φ 複數亦可以爲1個。 依據本變形例,而爲使用複數個阻抗調整部且各阻抗 調整部之一端側連結於陽極之縱向上相互隔離之部位之構 成時,因爲陽極在基板之面方向上被分割成複數且針對各 分割區域調整阻抗,故與在1個部位調整阻抗相比,可以 實施較精細之電漿分布之調整,因此,可得到高均一性之 電漿。例如,基板之面積爲1 m2以上之大型基板時,很難 使電漿在面內處於高均一性之狀態,若能精細調整電漿之 φ 分布,即可提高均一性,而且,亦可抑制局部之異常放電 。其次,尤其是該高頻電力之合計値爲較大之10kW以上 時,很容易發生異常放電,故配設複數個阻抗調整部之構 成係極爲有效之方法。 (第2實施形態)

The other end side of the impedance adjustment section is connected to the processing container. E.g, If the anode is a lower electrode ', it only needs to be connected to the bottom of the processing container. If the joint is too close to the cathode, Plasma is likely to be generated between the cathode and the connection part, so it would be meaningless to provide an impedance adjustment part ’, for example, It should be connected to the ^ anode with the same degree as the treatment container or a higher side opposite to the anode (when the anode is the lower electrode, Is the lower side, When the anode is the upper electrode, (Upper side) 〇 The structure of the impedance adjustment section, E.g, Is to change the impedance using variable capacitors, It may also be constituted by, for example, a dielectric plate or the like as a capacitor component disposed between the anode and the processing container, for example, the inner surface.

In Figure 1, 2 is a square-tube-shaped processing container made of, for example, anodized aluminum. The upper part of the processing container 2 is provided with an upper electrode 3 for a gas shower head which also serves as a gas supply part. The upper electrode 3 uses an insulating material 31 arranged along the opening edge of the upper opening 30 of the processing container 2. It is in a state of being sufficiently electrically floating relative to the processing container 2. In addition, On the structure of the gas shower head of the upper electrode 3, Via -13- 200540987 (10) is connected to the process gas supply unit 3 3 via the gas supply path 32, and, The gas supplied from the plurality of gas holes 34 to the gas supply path 32 in the processing container 2 is supplied.  The upper electrode 3 is connected to a high-frequency power source 4 via an integrated circuit 41 and a conducting circuit 40. In addition, A matching box 42 is provided which surrounds the aforementioned opening portion 30 of the processing container 2 and houses an integrated circuit 41 therein. The upper portion of the matching box 42 extends the aforementioned conducting circuit 40 and a φ layer portion 43 outside the coaxial cable 44. The outer layer portion 43 is grounded. In this example, The matching box 42 is equivalent to a grounded case of an integrated circuit.  The lower part of the processing container 2 is provided with a lower electrode 5 which also serves as a mounting table for mounting the substrate 10, The lower electrode 5 is supported by the supporting portion 51 via an insulating material 50. therefore, The lower electrode 5 is in a state of being sufficiently electrically floating with the processing container 2. A lower portion of the support portion 51 is provided with a protection tube 52 extending through the opening portion 20 formed at the bottom of the processing container 2 and extending downward. Below the protective tube 5 2 is obtained a support of a conductive support plate 5 3 having a diameter larger than that of the protective tube φ 5 2, and the protective tube 52 is closed. The lower end of the conductive folded body 54 is fixed to the edge of the support plate 53 and the upper end of the folded body 54 is fixed to the opening edge of the aforementioned opening portion 20 of the processing container 2. The folded body 54 is used to form a closed internal space and an atmosphere-side space in which the protection tube 52 is arranged. In addition, the supporting platform 5 3 is used to raise and lower the mounting table 5 by using a lifting mechanism not shown in the figure.  The lower electrode 5 is connected to one end of a conductive circuit 5 5 arranged in the protection tube 51. The conducting circuit 55 is provided with an impedance adjusting section 6. The other end of the conductive circuit 55 is connected to the bottom of the processing container -14-200540987 (11) 2 through a support plate 53 and a folded body 54. Near the upper electrode 3 of the processing container 2 As mentioned earlier, Grounding is performed via the matching box 42 and the outer layer portion 43 of the coaxial cable 44 described above. In this example, The upper electrode 3 and the lower electrode 5 correspond to a cathode and an anode, respectively.  In addition, The side wall of the processing container 2 is connected to the exhaust path 21, The exhaust path 21 is connected to a vacuum exhaust means 22. In addition, The side wall of the processing container 2 is provided with a gate valve 24 for the purpose of opening and closing the transfer port 23 of the substrate 10.  φ uses the structure described above, High-frequency current will flow through the high-frequency power source 4 — integrated circuit 414 upper electrode 3 — plasma 4 lower electrode 5-> Impedance adjustment section 6 -Processing container 2- > Matching box 42-outer layer portion 43 of the coaxial cable 44- > The path to ground however, As shown in the previous technical records, Because a high-frequency current may flow from the upper electrode 3 to the wall portion of the processing container 2 through the plasma, Therefore, the impedance of the path (circuit) from the lower electrode 5 to the upper portion of the processing container 2 is adjusted by the impedance adjusting section 6.  Figure 2 is the equivalent φ-effect circuit for the high-frequency current of the plasma processing device of Figure 1. Because the processing container 2 can be regarded as an inductance component, Therefore, it is expressed by inductance. C 1 is the capacitor between the upper electrode 3 and the lower electrode 5. C2 represents the plasma between the upper electrode 3 and the wall portion of the processing container 2 with a capacitance component.  Secondly, The purpose of this embodiment, The capacitance component (C) of the impedance adjustment section 6 is used to offset the capacitance (C1) of the plasma and the inductance (L) of the path from the lower electrode 5 to the upper portion of the processing container 2. The impedance of the aforementioned path is j ^ l / ω Cl + Ω l-1 / ω C), So less than the upper electrode 3 —plasma-> The impedance of the path of the wall portion of the processing container 2 with respect to the plasma density of the wall portion is higher. Because -15- 200540987 (12) This' impedance adjustment section 6 is a thing containing a capacitor component, This form can be, for example, using the variable capacitor 61 shown in FIG. 3A. A combination of a fixed capacitor capacitor 62 and a variable capacitor 61 shown in FIG. 3B, Use fixed capacitors 62 shown in Figure 3C, Using a combination of the variable capacitor 61 and the variable capacitor 63 shown in FIG. 3D, In addition, various configurations such as a variable inductance capacitor 64 and a fixed capacitance capacitor 62 shown in FIG. 3E are used. When using only a fixed capacitor 62, You can also adjust the impedance by replacing capacitors with different capacitors.  It can be known from the experimental examples described below that the impedance of the path in which the plasma is uniform with respect to the substrate is reduced. Find the current 流 flowing through the path when the impedance 变更 of the impedance adjustment section 6 is changed, It ’s best to set it in such a way that it becomes the largest, that is, It is most ideal to set the impedance of the path in which the plasma is uniform with respect to the substrate.  however, In fact, it only needs to be within 2% of the maximum current, Set at least within 10% of the maximum current.  • Describe the effect of this embodiment. First of all, Open the gate valve 24 to carry the substrate 10 into the processing container 2 from the isolation chamber not shown in the figure and the transfer arm not shown in the figure. The substrate 10 is placed on the lower electrode 5 by the linkage between the lifting pins not shown in the figure penetrating the lower electrode 5. Secondly, Close the gate valve 24, The processing gas is supplied from the processing gas supply unit 33 to the processing container 2 through the upper electrode 3, and, The vacuum evacuation means 22 performs vacuum evacuation to maintain the inside of the processing container 2 at a specific pressure. Secondly, Applying a high-frequency power source 4 between the upper electrode 3 and the lower electrode 5 for example, 010 to 30141 ^, 101 ^ ~ of high frequency power, Will stimulate the processing of -16- 200540987 (13) gas to generate plasma. The processing gas system is, for example, a gas composed of a halogen gas such as a halogen compound, oxygen, And argon.  Because the plasma is generated, So high frequency current will flow through the upper electrode plasma-> Lower electrode 5- > Impedance adjustment section 6 —processing container 2 —matching box 42 —coaxial cable 44 outer layer section 43-> The so-called ground path with respect to the plasma of the substrate is a uniform direction, however, The impedance of this path is set so as to be approximately minimum, Therefore, it will be less than the upper electrode 3 — the plasma φ processing container 2 — the matching box 42 — the outer layer portion 43 of the coaxial cable 44 — the impedance of the path to ground 値, As a result, it is difficult to generate plasma between the upper electrode 3 and the wall portion of the processing container 2. result, The plasma is concentrated between the upper electrode 3 and the lower electrode 5, The plasma on the substrate 10 has high in-plane uniformity. An etching process is performed on the surface of the substrate 10 using the plasma, for example. Because the orientation of the plasma is more uniform, Therefore, the in-plane uniformity of the etching speed is also high. therefore, Uniform etching can be performed on the surface. In addition, It is also possible to suppress damage and consumption of the inner wall and inner parts of the processing container 2.  φ In addition, This embodiment is shown in FIG. 4, According to the type of processing, the appropriate adjustment of the impedance adjustment section 6 is stored in the memory section of the control section 7 in the form of a graph, After selecting the category of processing, Read the aforementioned appropriate adjustments to be processed from data such as graphs, The control section 7 outputs a control signal to a motor for driving an actuator of the impedance adjustment section 6 such as a variable capacitor adjustment mechanism. Specific examples are shown below, that is, When different etching processes are continuously performed, an example of the appropriate setting 値 is determined for each etching process. Alternatively, in the case where a continuous film formation process is performed, an example of the aforementioned appropriate setting step is determined for each film formation process.  -17- 200540987 (14) According to this embodiment, When high-frequency power is applied between the cathode and the anode to generate a plasma, and the substrate is processed by the plasma, An impedance adjustment section containing a capacitive component is arranged between the anode (the electrode opposite to the electrode connected to the high-frequency power source is the anode), and the processing container. So that from the cathode through the plasma, Anode And the impedance 壁 from the wall of the processing container to the grounded case of the integrated circuit is smaller than the impedance from the cathode through the plasma and the wall of the processing container to the grounded case of the integrated circuit Therefore, it is possible to suppress the generation of plasma between the cathode and the wall portion φ of the processing container. A plasma with high uniformity is generated, and a plasma treatment with high uniformity can be performed on the substrate.  (Modification of the first embodiment) A plasma processing apparatus according to a modification of this embodiment is shown in Figs. 5A and 5B. Equipped with, for example, three impedance adjusting sections 6A, 6B, 6C. A plurality of impedance adjusting sections 6. In the plasma processing apparatus of this modification, Impedance adjustment section 6A, 6B, One end of 6C should be connected to the isolated portions PA, φ longitudinal (width direction) of the lower electrode 5, respectively. PB, PC. Generally speaking, The square substrate 10 is divided into 3 regions by, for example, a dotted line in FIG. 5B. The impedance to the processing container 2 is set appropriately for each divided area. The proper system is the one that can obtain high uniformity plasma E.g,  Repeat trial and error in advance to find each impedance adjustment unit 6A for each process,  6B, Appropriate 6C.  For a more modeled example, For example, when the central plasma is strong, Increasing the capacitance 对应 corresponding to the impedance adjusting portion 6B in the central portion to increase the impedance 间 between the lower electrode 5 and the processing container 2 in the central portion, and, Reduced to -18- 200540987 (15) 6A, 6C capacitor 値, With this, Implementation of the adjustment to move the stronger part of the plasma from the center to the edge. that is, In this implementation form, Including impedance adjustment section 6A, 6B, The impedance of the 6C coupling circuit. As mentioned above, the impedance of the path in which the plasma is uniform with respect to the substrate is smaller than the impedance of the path through the upper electrode 3-the wall of the plasma processing container 2 The impedance adjustment section 6A of the path where the plasma density is high 6B, Each impedance of 6C is premised, Full φ satisfies this condition and adjusts each impedance 値, The plasma strength of the substrate 10 can be fine-tuned in the plane direction. therefore, It is a very effective technology that can produce high uniformity and high plasma when processing large substrates. The inventors found that  E.g, In the case of square substrates for flat plates, For example, when the size of the substrate is larger than 1 m2, It is difficult to make the plasma in a state of high uniformity in the plane, If you can fine-tune the plasma distribution, Can improve uniformity, And, Can also suppress local abnormal discharge. Secondly, Especially when the total of this high-frequency power is larger than 10kW, Very prone to abnormal discharge,  φ Therefore, the configuration with a plurality of impedance adjusting sections is an extremely effective method.  As shown in Figure 5A and Figure 5B, Equipped with impedance adjustment section 6A,  6B, At 6C, Should be in the corresponding position PA, PB, Protective tubes 52 A ~ 52C extending from below the support portion 51 are provided at the position of the PC, And, An independent support plate 53 is provided for each protection tube 52 A ~ 52C, In addition, A folding body 54 as shown in Fig. 1 should be arranged between each supporting plate 53 and the processing container 2.  Such a division of the impedance adjustment region of the lower electrode 5, Not limited to 3 splits, E.g, It can also be divided into 2 equal parts. And for the whole -19- 200540987 (16) 4 divisions, An impedance adjustment section is further provided for each divided region.  Secondly, This embodiment should also be as shown in Figure 6, Each impedance adjusting section 6A corresponding to the processing type, 6B, Each adjustment of 6C is stored in the memory section in the control section 7, And set each impedance adjustment section 6A according to the selected process, 6B, 6C impedance 値.  In addition, The impedance adjustment section 6 may not use a capacitor such as a variable capacitor or a fixed capacitor, In addition, as shown in Fig. 7A to Fig. 7C, a dielectric plate or the like for forming a capacitor component is used. The structure of the example in Figure 7A, A freely replaceable impedance adjusting section composed of a dielectric plate 8 is arranged between the lower electrode 5 and the bottom of the processing container 2. The capacitance 値 of the dielectric plate 8 is set on the condition that the impedance 路径 of the path is satisfied as described above.  The example shown in FIG. 7B corresponds to the use of a plurality of impedance adjusting sections 6A, 6B, Example of Figure 5A of 6C, In its composition, Central section (e.g., The capacitance of the dielectric is different in the area that is square when viewed in plan) and the area that is square in frame when viewed in plan. that is, 8A, 2 types of dielectric plates 8B. In this example, the thickness of the dielectric plate is the same, and the capacitance is changed by changing the material. however, As shown in Figure 7C, Change the thickness of the lower electrode 5, E.g, Increase the thickness of the central part, While reducing the thickness of the dielectric plate 8 in this area, With this, Capacitance can be changed at the center and edges.  In the above embodiment, The high-frequency power supply 4 is connected to the upper electrode 3 side, however, In its composition, The high-frequency power supply 4 may be connected to the lower electrode 5 side. at this time, The impedance adjustment section 6 is connected between the upper electrode 3 and, for example, the upper and upper sections of the processing container -20-200540987 (17) 2. at this time, The impedance adjustment section 6 may be disposed between the upper electrode 3 and the side wall portion of the processing container 2. however, It is preferably arranged at a position lower than the upper electrode 3. Fig. 8 is an example in which three impedance adjusting sections 6 A to 6C are provided in this type of device. The arrangement positions of the three impedance adjustment sections 6 A to 6C correspond to the positions of PA to PC shown in Figs. 5A and 5B, for example. however, The number of the impedance adjusting sections 6 may be two or more. As shown above, The impedance adjustment unit 6 may be a complex φ or one.  According to this modification, When a plurality of impedance adjustment sections are used, and one end of each impedance adjustment section is connected to a portion of the anode that is isolated from each other in the longitudinal direction, Because the anode is divided into a plurality of directions in the plane direction of the substrate and the impedance is adjusted for each divided area, Therefore, compared with adjusting impedance at one location, You can implement more fine adjustment of the plasma distribution, therefore, A plasma with high uniformity can be obtained. E.g, When the substrate is a large substrate with an area of 1 m2 or more, It is difficult to make the plasma in a state of high uniformity in the plane, If the φ distribution of the plasma can be fine-tuned, Can improve uniformity, and, Can also suppress local abnormal discharge. Secondly, Especially when the total of this high-frequency power is larger than 10kW, Very prone to abnormal discharge, Therefore, the configuration with a plurality of impedance adjusting sections is an extremely effective method.  (Second Embodiment) As shown in FIG. 9, this embodiment is a type of plasma with a high frequency power supply 4 on the upper electrode 3 side and a high frequency power supply 100 on the lower electrode 5 side. The processing device will be described. The plasma processing device • 21-200540987 (18) and the matching cable is connected to the source case with a case 4 1 5 Dirty frequency local reactance 4 2 is attached to the lower side protection tube 5 2 as shown in Figure A Implement wiring of conductive 〇1 in B, A matching box 1 〇 2 ′ is disposed below the lower end of the protection tube 5 2 B. The matching box 102 is provided with a whole circuit 103 connected to the aforementioned conducting circuit 101. In addition, The integrated circuit 103 is connected to a high-frequency power source 100.  The lower part of the distribution box 1 〇 2 extends the conducting circuit 1 〇 6, And the outer layer 105 for forming the coaxial cable 104, The outer layer portion 105 is used for grounding.  In this example, The integrated circuit 41 and the integrated circuit 103 are opposed to the φ first integrated circuit and the second integrated circuit, respectively. The high-frequency power source 4 and the high-frequency power source 100 correspond to the first high-frequency power source and the second high-frequency power source, respectively. The upper high-frequency power source 4 outputs, for example, a high-frequency power of 10 kW to 10 MHz to 30 MHz. The second high-frequency power source 100 on the lower side outputs high-frequency power of, for example, 2 kW and 6 MHz at 3 kW. The function of the high-frequency electric power from the first high-frequency power source 4 to activate the processing gas, The electric power from the second high-frequency power source 100 has a function of bringing the ions in the plasma closer to the substrate 10 side. In addition, In real time, The matching boxes 42 and 102 are equivalent to the grounding φ body of the first integrated circuit and the grounding case of the second integrated circuit, respectively. There is a high-pass filter not shown in Figure 9 between the upper electrode 3 and the integrated circuit. In addition, There is a low-pass filter between the lower electrode and the integrated circuit 103. Two high-frequency power supplies 4, High Power source between 1 00 is the state where the other party's high-frequency components cannot be input. At this time, when viewing from the first high-frequency power source 4, The lower electrode 5 is an anode, When viewed from the 2nd frequency power supply 100, The upper electrode 3 is an anode.  Secondly, A plurality of resistance adjusting sections 9A and 9C are arranged between the upper electrode 3 and the matching box 42. The impedance adjusting sections 9A and 9C are connected to, for example, an upper part of the ceiling of the processing container 2 through a matching box. For the convenience of illustration -22- 200540987 (19) The impedance adjustment section on the upper side and the impedance adjustment section on the lower side are marked with only two 9A,  9C (6A, 6C), however, Each can be equipped with more than three or only one.  In addition, The matching box 42 of this example is equivalent to the grounding case of the first integrated circuit 41 for the purpose of returning the high-frequency current from the first high-frequency power source 4 from the upper part of the processing container 2 to the high-frequency power source 4. The matching box 102 corresponds to a grounded casing of the second integrated circuit 103 for the purpose of returning a high-frequency current from the second high-frequency power source 100 to the high-frequency power source 100 from the lower portion of the processing container 2.  6A, impedance adjustment section on the lower side, 6C corresponds to the first impedance adjustment unit,  A filter is provided so that only high-frequency bands corresponding to the high-frequency band of the first high-frequency power source 4 can pass. In addition, Upper impedance adjustment section 9A, 9C corresponds to the second impedance adjustment section, It is equipped with a filter that can pass only the high-frequency band corresponding to the high-frequency band of the second high-frequency power source 100. that is, The high-frequency current from the first high-frequency power source 4 passes through the high-frequency power source 4-integrated circuit 41 4 upper electrode 3-> Plasma 4 lower electrode impedance adjustment section 6A, 6C —Processing container 2- > Matching Box 42—Outer Layer 43 of Coaxial Cable 44- > The ground path flows through φ, The high-frequency current from the second high-frequency power source 100 is integrated into the circuit 103-> via the high-frequency power source 1004. Lower electrode 5-Plasma upper electrode 3-Impedance adjustment section 9A, 9C —Processing container 2 —Matching box 102- > Coaxial cable 104 Outer layer part 105-A path through which ground passes.  First impedance adjustment section 6A, 6C is based on the above-mentioned Lower electrode 5, And the impedance of the high frequency of the first high-frequency power source 4 of the path from the wall of the processing container 2 to the matching box 42 (the grounding case of the first integrated circuit) is uniform with respect to the substrate plasma. The upper electrode 3 passes through the plasma and the wall portion of the processing container 2 to the matching box-23- 200540987 (20) 42. The high-frequency impedance of the first high-frequency power source 4 in the path with a higher plasma density relative to the wall portion値 to adjust the impedance 方式. When reducing the above-mentioned impedance 路径 of the path relative to the substrate plasma is uniform, Calculate the current 路径 from the first high-frequency power source 4 through a path that is uniform with respect to the plasma of the substrate, It ’s best to set it in such a way that it is the largest, that is, It is most ideal to set the impedance in such a way that the plasma is uniform with respect to the substrate. however, Actually φ only needs to be within 2% of the maximum current, Set at least within 10% of the maximum current. The current of the path in a uniform direction with respect to the plasma of the substrate is, for example, connected to the impedance adjusting section 6A, The 6C current meter calculates the total of the currents. Second impedance adjustment section 9A, 9C is used to pass the lower electrode 5 through the plasma, Upper electrode 3, And the impedance of the high frequency of the second high-frequency power source 100 of the path from the wall of the processing container 2 to the matching box 102 in a uniform direction with respect to the substrate plasma is smaller than that from the lower electrode 5 through the plasma and processing The impedance 値 of the high-frequency impedance 第 of the second high-frequency power source 100 of the path with a higher plasma density relative to the wall from the wall portion of the container 2 to the matching box 102 is adjusted. When reducing the above-mentioned impedance 値 of the path in which the plasma is uniform with respect to the substrate, Find the current 値 from the second high-frequency power source 100 through a path that is uniform with respect to the plasma of the substrate, It ’s best to set it in such a way that it is the largest, however, In fact, it only needs to be within 2% of the maximum current, Set at least within 10% of the maximum current.  -24-200540987 (21) (Third embodiment) In this embodiment, the first high-frequency power supply 4 and the second high-frequency power supply 1 are disposed on the lower electrode 5 side as shown in FIG.

(Experiment 1) A · Experimental method The test device is a parallel plate type plasma processing device shown in Fig. 5A, which uses 4 divisions of the impedance adjustment area of the lower electrode (3 divisions in Fig. 5 • A). The device and the impedance adjustment section 6 are connected in series by four (6A to 6D) capacitors 63 and variable capacitors 61 shown in FIG. 12. In addition, the capacitance component shown in Fig. 12C0 corresponds to the capacitance of the dielectric between the lower electrode and the processing container. Next, change the position of the regulator of the variable capacitor to set the impedance of the impedance adjustment section to various levels, and observe the state of the plasma generated by the processing container visually for each setting, and 'detect the flow through the impedance adjustment section and process The current of the conducting circuit between the containers (the current flowing through the lower electrode) and the voltage of the upper electrode is detected. In terms of plasma generation conditions, the upper electrode and lower electrode -28- 200540987 (25) are set to 60 mm. The plasma generation gas system uses a mixture of SF6 gas, HC1 gas, and He gas, and a high-frequency power supply. The frequency and electric power are set to 1 3. 5 6 Μ Η z and 7 · 5 kw respectively, and the pressure is set to 20 Pa (50 mTorr. B · Experimental results. Figure 13: The position of the regulator containing the variable capacitor, the Capacitance φ The capacitance of the capacitor, the impedance of the capacitor, the impedance of the impedance adjustment section (Z (LC), and the total impedance of C0 between the lower electrode and the processing container); the current flowing through the lower electrode (lower current).値; the voltage of the upper electrode (upper voltage); and the visual state of the plasma; the relationship diagram. According to the visual state of the plasma, the highest uniformity of the light emitting state is (◎), the uniformity of the light emitting state There are four types of evaluations: (0) for approximately good performance, (△) for slightly poor uniformity of light emission state, and (X) for poor uniformity of light emission state. In addition, Figures 14 and 15 Figure 13 below The current 値 and the upper voltage 値 are graphed. In addition, the unit of the capacitor 第 in Fig. 13 is pF, the unit of the impedance and impedance Ω of the capacitor is Ω, and the unit of the current 値 and voltage 为 are A and V, respectively. From the result It can be seen that the maximum current of the lower part is 79A. At this time, the state of the plasma is also optimal. When the lower part is 78A, the state of the plasma is generally good, while the lower part is 7 2 A, the state of the plasma is slightly worse. In addition, the state of the plasma is extremely poor when it is below 6 6 A. Therefore, the impedance 値 should be adjusted in such a way that the current at the lower part is approximately the maximum 値. In this example, 'if the detection error is taken into account', the lower current should be the maximum 値Within 10% ', if it can be within 2%, it is even better -29-200540987 (26). Here' the lower current 最大 is approximately the maximum means the upper voltage 最大 is approximately the maximum, that is, between the lower electrode and the processing container The impedance 値 is approximately the smallest. For g, the lower current 値 is approximately the maximum, which means that the current flowing from the upper electrode to the wall portion of the processing container through the plasma is approximately the smallest, which can suppress the discharge between the upper electrode and the wall portion of the processing container. While mentioning Uniformity of high plasma. (Experiment 2) φ A · Experimental method S-type inspection device uses a parallel flat-type battery equipped with high-frequency power supply 4 and high-frequency power supply 2 and 2 as shown in Figure 9. The slurry processing device etches a silicon film formed on the surface of a 200 mm x 2 200 mm square substrate. The processing conditions are as follows. Processing gas: SF6 gas, HC1 gas, and high-frequency power supply on the upper side of He gas Frequency and power: 13.56MHz and 20kW Frequency of high-frequency power supply on the lower side: 3.2MHz and 4kW φ Processing pressure: 20Pa (l 50mTorr) In addition, it is arranged at positions corresponding to the four corners and the center of the square substrate In total, there are five impedance adjustment units for high frequencies from the high-frequency power source 4 on the upper side and impedance adjustment units for high frequencies of the high-frequency power source 100 from the lower side. Each impedance adjusting unit uses a variable capacitor and a capacitor connected in series as shown in FIG. 3D. Next, using a current meter inserted in series with each impedance adjustment section, the minimum adjustment point of the current 値 (the total of the current 値 of the current meter 値) flowing through the lower electrode side is directed to a plurality of positions set on the surface of the substrate surface. The average etch rate of the etching rate and the -30-200540987 (27) in-plane uniformity were investigated. In addition, under the same conditions as the above-mentioned processing conditions, the same applies to the etching rate when the impedance adjustment unit is not provided, when the power applied to the lower electrode side is zero, and when the high-frequency power source is not provided on the lower side. Investigation of uniformity of average etch rate and etching rate. B. Experimental results The results are shown in Figure 16. From the results, it can be seen that the etch rate can be improved by connecting the lower electrode to a high-frequency power source as compared to when the high-frequency power source is connected to only the upper electrode φ. However, at two frequencies, the in-plane uniformity of the etching rate will deteriorate. Therefore, using the impedance adjustment unit to adjust the impedance so that the current flowing through the lower electrode side is minimized can improve the uniformity of the uranium etching rate. .
