Further, by comparing (b), (c), and (d) in FIG. 9, the reduction rate increases as the power of the high-frequency power source is increased, and at 50 W in (d), the reduction rate is within a radius of 3 mm of the processing area. It can be seen that the copper oxide film can be removed at a high speed of 140 nm / second.
