Abstract
Plasma is generated in a vacuum processing apparatus and a high-frequency voltage is applied to a lower electrode on which a wafer is placed. The high-frequency voltage applied to the lower electrode is subjected to periodical on-off modulation, the on-off duty ratio of which is determined for each wafer or each plurality of wafers, to carry out plasma processing on the wafer. As a result, in the plasma processing carried out on the wafer, the wafer is fabricated with a high degree of reproducibility by suppressing variations in fabricated-line dimension from wafer to wafer without decreasing the throughput.
