A stage on which the substrate to be processed is placed facing the target is provided in the lower part of the vacuum chamber.
- the stage includes a metal base having, for example, a cylindrical contour corresponding to the contour of the substrate to be processed, and a chuck plate provided on the upper surface of the base and smaller than the outer dimensions of the base and the substrate (for example, see Patent Document 1).
- a hot plate made of, for example, aluminum nitride is interposed between the base and the chuck plate, and a coolant is circulated in the base. It is generally known to provide a cooling medium circulation path for controlling a substrate to be processed within a predetermined temperature range by heat transfer via a hot plate.
- the hot plate can be provided integrally with the chuck plate.
- a rare gas and a reaction gas
- a rare gas is introduced into a vacuum chamber in a vacuum atmosphere while the substrate to be processed is electrostatically adsorbed by a chuck plate. Then, electric power having a negative potential is applied to the target. If necessary, the hot plate is heated or a refrigerant is circulated in a path provided in the base to control the film formation target to a predetermined temperature range higher than room temperature by heat transfer through the hot plate.
- a plasma atmosphere is formed in the vacuum chamber, the ions of the rare gas ionized in the plasma collide with the target, the target is sputtered, and sputtered particles scattered from the target (generated by the vacuum treatment in the vacuum chamber).
- Object adheres to and is deposited on the surface of the substrate to be processed to form a predetermined thin film according to the target species.
- the vacuum chamber is usually provided with a metal adhesion-preventing plate in order to prevent adhesion of sputtered particles (substances generated by vacuum processing) to the inner wall of the vacuum chamber, and the base and the chuck plate are surrounded by them.
- An annular shield plate called a platen ring that covers the upper surface of the base that is exposed radially outward is provided at intervals.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a vacuum processing apparatus capable of suppressing adverse effects on the vacuum processing, such as the above.
- the vacuum processing apparatus of the present invention has a vacuum chamber capable of forming a vacuum atmosphere, and a stage on which a substrate to be processed is installed is provided in the vacuum chamber. Having a hot plate installed on the base to enable heating of the substrate to be processed, further comprising a metal platen ring and a deposition preventive plate surrounding the hot plate with a predetermined gap, The surface portion of the platen ring facing the hot plate is characterized by a low emissivity layer whose emissivity is reduced by subjecting the base metal to a surface treatment.
- the surface portion of the platen ring facing the hot plate is constituted by the low emissivity layer, the heat ray emitted from the hot plate is reflected when the vacuum treatment is performed under the heating of the hot plate.
- the temperature rise of the platen ring itself is suppressed.
- gas release from the platen ring is suppressed as much as possible, and for example, it is possible to prevent a problem in which the released gas is taken into a thin film to be formed and deteriorates the film quality.
- the low-emissivity layer is formed by subjecting the base metal surface of the platen ring to a surface treatment by a known method such as mirror finishing, or the base metal surface of the platen ring is sprayed. It may be provided as a separate body by surface-treating it by a known method such as. For example, in the case where the platen ring is made of stainless steel, if the mirror surface processing is performed so that the arithmetic average roughness Ra falls within the range of 0.01 to 2.00, the temperature rise of the platen ring can be effectively suppressed.
- the platen ring surrounds the hot plate with a predetermined gap, it means that heat transfer by radiation is dominant between the hot plate and the platen ring, for example, deformation of the hot plate or the platen ring. It also includes a case where the hot plate and the platen ring are locally in contact with each other due to an assembly error or the like.
- the surface portion of the platen ring facing the deposition preventing plate is higher than the low emissivity layer. It is preferably composed of a high emissivity layer having an emissivity. According to this, it is possible to suppress heating of the deposition-inhibitory plate due to radiation from the platen ring, and by extension, gas release accompanying the temperature rise of the deposition-inhibition plate is suppressed as much as possible, and the released gas is contained in the thin film. It is possible to further prevent the occurrence of a defect such as the deterioration of the film quality caused by being taken in.
- the surface of the portion of the deposition preventive plate facing the platen ring has the same emissivity as the low emissivity layer of the hot plate, it is more effective to heat the deposition preventive plate. This is advantageous because it can be suppressed.
- the emissivity of the low reflectance layer is preferably 0.3 or less.
- the platen ring and the deposition preventive plate are made of stainless steel, if the mirror surface processing is performed by a known method so that the arithmetic average roughness Ra falls within the range of 0.01 to 2.00, the radiation of the surface is obtained.
- the rate can be 0.3 or less.
- the surface emissivity refers to the average emissivity in the wavelength range of 2 to 6 ⁇ m. In this case, if the emissivity exceeds 0.2, for example, when the hot plate itself is heated to a predetermined temperature in the range of 300 ° C.
- the heat rays emitted from the hot plate cannot be effectively reflected and the platen
- the emissivity is more preferably 0.2 or less because the temperature rise of the ring itself may not be suppressed. Further, if the emissivity is made smaller than 0.03, the processing cost increases and it is not realistic, so the lower limit of the emissivity of the low reflectance layer can be set to 0.03 or more.
- the high emissivity layer preferably has an emissivity of 0.5 or more.
- the emissivity of the surface can be increased to 0.5 or more by subjecting the platen ring and the deposition preventive plate to blast treatment using particles having a particle size in the range of 90 to 710 ⁇ m. ..
