A plasma processing apparatus includes a chamber; a wall member; an insulating member; and a ground member. The wall member is partially placed in an internal space of the chamber and exposed to a space at an outside of the chamber. The insulating member is provided on the wall member. The ground member is made of silicon, provided in the internal space and mounted on the insulating member. The wall member is configured to support the ground member in a non-contact state with the insulating member therebetween. The ground member is in contact with a spherical surface of the insulating member and mounted on the spherical surface.

Plasma processing apparatus

A substrate processing apparatus includes a chamber having a plasma processing space, a sidewall of the chamber having an opening for transferring a substrate into the plasma processing space; and a shutter disposed at an inner side than the sidewall and configured to open or close the opening, the shutter having a flow path for a temperature-controlled fluid.

Substrate processing apparatus

A plasma processing apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment includes a chamber, a member, and a heater. Plasma is generated in an internal space of the chamber. The member is partially located in the internal space of the chamber. The heater is configured to heat the member. The member extends outward from the internal space of the chamber and is exposed to a space outside the chamber.

A plasma processing apparatus is for performing plasma processing in a depressurizable inner space. The apparatus includes a chamber having therein an inner space, a supporting table provided in the inner space and configured to support a substrate to be mounted thereon, one or more first members included in the chamber or separate from the chamber and partially exposed to a depressurized environment including the inner space, and one or more second members included in the chamber or separate from the chamber, each being in contact with a corresponding one of said one or more first members, and partially disposed in an atmospheric pressure environment. The apparatus further includes one or more feeders each of which is configured to supply a coolant to a cavity formed in a corresponding one of said one or more second members.

A substrate processing apparatus includes a processing vessel; a placing table provided within the processing vessel and configured to place a substrate thereon; and a component disposed between the processing vessel and the placing table, the component constituting an anode. The component has a flow path through which a heat exchange medium flows.

A plasma processing apparatus includes a processing vessel, a lower electrode, an annular member, an inner upper electrode, an outer upper electrode, a processing gas supply, a first high frequency power supply and a first DC power supply. The lower electrode is configured to place a processing target substrate. The annular member is disposed on an outer peripheral portion of the lower electrode. The inner upper electrode is disposed to face the lower electrode. The outer upper electrode is disposed at an outside of the inner upper electrode. The first high frequency power supply applies a first high frequency power. The first DC power supply applies a first variable DC voltage to the outer upper electrode. At least a part of a surface of the outer upper electrode exposed to the processing space is located higher than a surface of the inner upper electrode exposed to the processing space.
