Description
該処理容器内に設けられ、基板を上面に載置可能な回転テーブルと、
該回転テーブルの周方向における所定箇所に設けられ、第1のプラズマガスから第1のプラズマを発生させて第1のプラズマ処理を行う第1のプラズマ処理領域と、
該第1のプラズマ処理領域と前記周方向において離間して設けられ、第2のプラズマガスから第2のプラズマを発生させて第2のプラズマ処理を行う第2のプラズマ処理領域と、
前記周方向において前記第1のプラズマ処理領域と前記第2のプラズマ処理領域との間の2つの間隔領域の各々に設けられ、前記第1のプラズマ処理領域と前記第2のプラズマ処理領域とを分離して前記第1のプラズマガスと前記第2のプラズマガスとの混合を防止する2つの分離領域と、を有し、
前記第1のプラズマ処理領域はエッチング処理を行う領域であり、
前記第2のプラズマ処理領域は該エッチング処理後の改質処理を行う領域である。
前記第1のプラズマ処理が行われた前記基板をパージガスによりパージする工程と、
第2のプラズマガスから第2のプラズマを発生させて前記パージされた前記基板に第2のプラズマ処理を行う工程と、
前記第2のプラズマ処理が行われた前記基板を前記パージガスによりパージする工程と、からなるサイクルを同一周期で複数回繰り返すことにより、前記基板に2種類のプラズマ処理を交互に行うプラズマ処理方法であって、
前記第1のプラズマ処理はエッチング処理であり、
前記第2のプラズマ処理は該エッチング処理後の改質処理である。
ここで、H2ガスとNF3ガスが所定の濃度範囲内にあると爆発を起こすおそれがあるのは上述の通りであるが、爆発を起こさない場合であっても、反応の結果HFを発生する。HFは、腐食性のガスであるから、HFが発生して処理容器1の内壁等に付着すると、付着した内壁等を腐食させるおそれがある。よって、たとえ爆発が生じない場合であっても、NF3ガスとH2ガスとは混合しない構造をとることが好ましい。この点、本実施形態に係るプラズマ処理装置は、第1のプラズマ処理領域P2と第2のプラズマ処理領域P2とを凸状部4と分離ガス(Arガス)の供給で分離する分離領域Dを備えているので、爆発や処理容器1の内部の腐食を確実に防止することができる。
図11(b)で説明したように、回転テーブル2は、例えば、比較的遅い20rpmの回転速度で回転しているとしても、1回転するのに3秒であるから、3秒未満の時間で第2のプラズマ処理領域P2をウエハWは通過する。よって、3秒未満の短時間の改質処理が膜160に対してなされる。より正確には、第2のプラズマ処理領域P2も、多くても回転テーブル2の全体の1/4未満の面積しか無いので、0.75秒未満の短時間の改質処理が行われる。なお、改質工程では、膜161の中にフッ素成分が消滅又は低減するので、図11(a)の状態と同様の状態に膜161が戻り、この膜質回復状態を、図11(a)と同様に膜160とする。
