Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a plasma processing apparatus and a plasma processing method. [Prior Art] A conventional plasma processing apparatus is provided with a support portion of a processing container for generating plasma, and is placed on the support portion for sealing between a top plate and an upper opening that blocks the processing container A sealing member such as a 0-ring of the container is processed. In addition, in order to protect the 0-ring from the deterioration caused by the plasma irradiation, it is proposed to have a configuration in which the support portion of the processing container is in contact with the top plate without a gap therebetween (for example, JP-A-6-1-12168) . Further, it is also proposed to provide a resin layer or a lining between the support portion and the top plate (for example, see JP-A-2004-134583, JP-A-2009-253161, etc.). SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The above prior art has been such that the support portion of the processing container is in direct contact with the top plate, or a resin layer or lining is present between the support portion of the processing container and the top plate. However, the support or top plate will thermally expand by the heat of the plasma generated in the processing vessel. Since the thermal expansion coefficient of the support portion and the top plate are different, and the elastic deformation of the resin layer or the 〇-shaped ring, the top plate and the support portion are in contact with each other, or the top plate is broken, which causes the generation of fine particles. The present invention is to provide a method in which even if a dielectric plate is thermally expanded due to plasma irradiation in a processing container, it does not come into contact with the supporting member, and the dielectric plate is prevented from being damaged or the dielectric plate is damaged to cause the occurrence of particles.

Further, the typical adjacent microwave radiation holes 32 are arranged in an "L" shape. Further, the entire microwave radiation holes 32 arranged in a predetermined shape (for example, an L shape) are arranged in a concentric shape. The length or arrangement interval of the microwave radiation holes 32 is determined in accordance with the wavelength (Xg) of the microwave. For example, the interval between the microwave radiation holes 32 is set to be Xg/4 to Xg. In Fig. 2, the interval between the adjacent microwave radiation holes 32 formed in a concentric shape is indicated by Δ!.

Since the wave material 33 has a long wavelength of microwaves in a vacuum, it has a function of shortening the wavelength of the microwave to adjust the plasma. The material of the slow-wave material 33 is, for example, quartz, polytetrafluoroethylene resin, or polyimide resin.

By forming the flat waveguide by the metal cover member 34 and the planar antenna 31, microwaves can be uniformly supplied into the processing container 1 and the upper end of the cover member 13 and the metal cover member 34 are sealed by the sealing member 35. Further, a cooling water flow path 34a is formed inside the wall of the metal cover member 34. The metal cover member 34, the retardation member 33, the planar antenna 3, and the dielectric plate 28 can be cooled by passing the cooling water through the cooling water passage 34a. Further, the planar antenna 3 1 and the metal cover member 34 are grounded. An opening 36 is formed in the center of the upper wall (top) of the metal cover member 34, and the waveguide 36 is connected to the opening 36. On the other end side of the waveguide 37, a microwave generating device 39 that generates microwaves is connected via a matching circuit 38. The waveguide 37 has a coaxial coaxial waveguide 37a extending in a circular shape extending upward from the opening 36 of the metal cover member 34, and an upper end portion of the coaxial waveguide 37a via the mode converter 40. A rectangular waveguide 3 7b extending in the horizontal direction is connected. The mode converter 40 is a machine having a mode of converting the microwave propagating in the rectangular waveguide 34b in the TE mode into the TEM mode -16-201207885. In the center of the coaxial waveguide 37a, an inner conductor 41 extends. This inner conductor 41 is connected and fixed to the center of the planar antenna 31 at its lower end portion. With such a configuration, the microwaves are uniformly radiated through the inner conductor 41 of the coaxial waveguide 37a to uniformly propagate toward the flat waveguide formed by the planar antenna 31. According to the microwave introducing device 27 configured as described above, the microwave generated in the microwave generating device 39 propagates through the waveguide 37 to the planar antenna 31, and is further introduced from the microwave radiation hole 32 (slit) to the dielectric plate 28 via the dielectric plate 28. Processing inside the container 1. Further, the frequency of the microwave is ideally used, for example, at 2.4 5 GHz, and other uses of 8.35 GHz, 1.98 GHz, and the like. Each component of the plasma processing apparatus 100 is configured to be connected to the control unit 50 for control. The control unit 50 is typically a computer. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, a process controller 51 having a CPU, a user interface 52 connected to the process controller 51, and a memory unit 53 are included in the plasma processing. The device 100 collectively controls, for example, each component (for example, the heater power source 5a, the gas supply device 18, the exhaust device 24, the microwave generating device 39, etc.) related to processing conditions such as temperature, pressure, gas flow rate, and microwave output. Control means. The user interface 52 includes a keyboard for inputting an instruction or the like for managing the plasma processing apparatus 100, and a display for visually displaying the operation state of the plasma processing apparatus 100. Further, the storage unit 53 stores a prescription for recording a control program (software) or processing condition data, and the control program (software) is used to be executed under the control of the process controller 51 1 - 201207885. Various processors of the slurry processing apparatus 100. Then, in response to an instruction from the user interface 52, an arbitrary prescription is called from the memory unit 53 to be executed by the process controller 51, under the control of the process controller 51, in the plasma processing apparatus 100. The desired processing is performed in the processing container 1. Further, the prescriptions of the control program, the processing condition data, and the like can be stored in a computer-readable memory medium such as a CD-ROM, a hard disk, a floppy disk, a flash memory, a DVD, a Blu-ray disk, or the like. Further, the above prescriptions may be transferred and used from other devices, for example, via a dedicated line. The plasma processing apparatus 100 configured as described above can perform plasma-free plasma treatment on the wafer W at a low temperature of, for example, room temperature (25 °C) or more and 600 °C or lower. Further, since the plasma processing apparatus 1 is excellent in the uniformity of the plasma, the uniformity of the process can be achieved even with the large-diameter wafer W. Next, a general procedure for plasma nitriding treatment of the plasma processing apparatus 100 using the RLS A method will be described. First, the gate valve 17 is opened and the wafer W is carried into the processing container 1 from the carry-in/out port 16, and is placed on the mounting table 2. Then, the rare gas and the nitrogen gas are respectively supplied from the rare gas supply source 19a and the nitrogen gas supply source 19b of the gas supply device 18 to the rare gas and the nitrogen gas through the gas introduction portion at a predetermined flow rate while the inside of the processing container 1 is evacuated. 15 is introduced into the processing container 1. Thus, the inside of the processing container 1 is adjusted to a predetermined pressure. Next, microwaves of a predetermined frequency, e.g., 2.4 5 GHz, generated at the microwave generating device 39 are guided to the waveguide 37 via the matching circuit 38. The microwave guided to the waveguide 37 is sequentially supplied to the planar antenna 31 via the inner conductor 41 through the rectangular waveguide 37b and the coaxial waveguide 37a. That is, the microwave is -18-201207885 propagated in the TE mode in the rectangular waveguide 37b, and the TE mode microwave is converted into the ΤΕΜ mode by the mode converter 40, and propagates toward the planar antenna 31 in the coaxial waveguide 37a. go with. Then, the microwaves are radiated from the microwave radiation holes 32 formed through the slits formed in the planar antenna 31 through the dielectric plate 28 to the space above the wafer W in the processing container 1. By radiating the microwaves into the processing container 1 from the planar antenna 31 via the dielectric plate 28, an electromagnetic field is formed in the processing container 1, and the processing gas such as rare gas or nitrogen gas is plasma-plasmaized. The microwave-excited plasma thus generated is radiated from a plurality of microwave radiation holes 32 of the planar antenna 31 by microwaves, and has a high density of approximately 1 χ 101 () to 5 x 10 12 /cm 3 , and is approximately 1 in the vicinity of the wafer W. Low electron temperature plasma below 2eV. The conditions of the plasma nitriding treatment performed by the plasma processing apparatus 100 can be stored in the memory unit 53 of the control unit 50 as a prescription. Then, the process controller 51 reads out the prescription and sends control signals to the respective components of the plasma processing apparatus 1 such as the gas supply device 18, the exhaust device 24, the microwave generating device 39, the heater power source 5a, and the like. Thereby, the plasma nitriding treatment of the desired conditions is achieved. Next, the configuration of the characteristic portion of the electric prize processing device 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view showing an enlarged portion A of Fig. 1 surrounded by a broken line. The portion A is a connecting portion indicating the dielectric plate 28 and the support portion 13a of the cover member 13. Further, Fig. 5 is a partially enlarged plan view showing the upper surface of the support portion 13a of the cover member 13 in a state in which the dielectric plate 28 is removed from the portion A surrounded by a broken line in Fig. 1. In the present embodiment, an annular 〇-shaped ring 29a is provided between the dielectric plate 28 and the support portion 13a -19-201207885 of the cover member 13 as a plasma processing space for sealing the processing container 1 to maintain the vacuum state. Sealing member. Further, on the outer peripheral side of the Ο-shaped ring 29a, a vertical or horizontal gap d is formed between the upper surface of the support portion 13a of the cover member 13 on the upper portion of the processing container 1 and the dielectric plate 28, and the cross-sectional shape is square or rectangular. The annular spacer 60» is above the support portion 13a of the cover member 13, and the 〇-shaped ring 29a and the spacer 60 are respectively located at predetermined mounting positions. Mounting grooves 131, 132 having an arc shape and having a predetermined depth are formed on the support portion 13a of the cover member 13, so that the positions of the devices are not shifted. In the mounting grooves 131, 132, the Ο-shaped ring 29a and the spacer 60 are press-fitted and mounted. Since the mounting grooves 131 and 132 are grooves (ant grooves) having a narrow upper portion and a wide lower portion, the Ο-shaped ring 29a and the spacer 60 are not easily detached, and the mounting position is not displaced. The spacer 60 has a function of forming a gap d between the upper surface of the support portion 13a of the cover member 13 disposed on the upper portion of the processing container 1 and the dielectric plate 28. The gap d formed by the spacer 60 between the upper surface of the support portion 13a of the cover member 13 and the lower surface of the dielectric plate 28 is preferably 0.05 to 0.4 mm, for example. The gap d is more preferably 0.05 to 0.2 mm, more preferably 0.05 to 0.08 mm. By setting the gap d within the above range, when the high vacuum state is formed in the processing container 1, even if the vicinity of the center of the dielectric plate 28 is bent downward, the dielectric plate 28 can be prevented from contacting the support portion 13a. Corner 13b. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the contact between the corner portion 13b of the support portion 13a and the dielectric plate 28 from causing damage or damage or friction of the dielectric plate 28 to generate fine particles. The spacer 60 is preferably a small coefficient of friction, and the sliding of the cover member 13 or the dielectric plate 28 against the abutting surface of the dielectric plate 28 when thermally expanded by the heat of the plasma is used.

Further, in the plasma processing apparatus 100, since the microwave is used, the spacer 60 is preferably made of a material having a small dielectric loss tangent or a material having a small tanS applied to the surface of the elastic member. Further, the spacer 60 is preferably a material having a modulus of elasticity (Yang modulus) larger than that of the 〇-ring 2 93. For example, it is preferable that the Young's modulus of the spacer 60 is in the range of 200 to 500 kgf/mm2. The tanS of the constituent material of the spacer 60 is preferably in the range of, for example, 0.00001 to 0.0034.

Here, when the polyimine-based resin is used, the Young's modulus is, for example, 320 to 3 5 (preferably in the range of 1111112. Further, when the support portion 13a of the lid member 13 is composed of Ming, etc., heat is used. The expansion ratio is about 23><1〇·6, and on the other hand, when the dielectric material plate 28 is formed of a quartz material, the coefficient of thermal expansion is about 66xl〇-6. Therefore, 'compared to the dielectric plate 28, The support portion 13a of the cover member 13 has a large coefficient of thermal expansion. Because of the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion of the cover member 13 and the dielectric plate 28, the occurrence of particles caused by friction, contact, etc. of the cover member 13 and the dielectric plate 28 or The damage of the dielectric material plate 28 or the like may be a problem.

In addition, since the thermal expansion coefficient of the cover member 13 is higher than that of the dielectric plate 28, the gap L 1 in the horizontal direction may be almost zero (that is, in a state of abutment), but it is preferable to ensure that the electric plate 28 does not reluctantly close. The interval of the support portion 13a of the cover member 13. The distance L2 between the inner peripheral end of the spacer 60 and the outer peripheral end of the Ο-shaped ring 29a is, for example, 1~ from the viewpoint of ensuring the strength of the support portion 13a. Ideally in the range of 10mm. In addition, in Figure 4, the spacer 60 can also be equipped. The wall surface 28a of the outer peripheral end of the dielectric plate 28 is also on the inner peripheral side (the side of the Ο-ring 29a). As described above, the plasma processing apparatus 1 is at the support portion of the dielectric plate 28 and the cover member 13. A 0-ring 29a for sealing the plasma processing space in the processing container 1 is disposed between the 13a, and a spacer 60 is further provided on the outer peripheral side of the 0-ring 29a. Thereby, the spacer 60 is in the cover member 13 and the dielectric It is preferable that the gaps d are formed in the range of 0.05 to 0.4 mm between the plates 28, more preferably in the range of 〇. 5 to 0.2 mm, and more preferably in the range of 0.05 to 0.08 mm. By this gap d, even if the cover member 13 or the dielectric plate 28 thermally expands due to the heat of the plasma generated in the processing container 1, or the dielectric plate 28 is bent downward due to the vacuum, the cover member 13 can be prevented. Contact and friction with the dielectric plate 28. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the dielectric plate 28 from being broken or rubbed to generate fine particles.

embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 6 and 7 . The difference between the plasma processing apparatus according to the second embodiment and the plasma processing apparatus according to the first embodiment is a sealing structure between only the dielectric sheet 28 and the support portion 13a of the lid member 13. Therefore, the description of the same components as those of the plasma processing apparatus according to the first embodiment will be omitted, and only the sealing structure of the plasma processing apparatus according to the second embodiment will be described. Fig. 6 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the connection portion of the dielectric sheet 28 of the plasma processing apparatus of the second embodiment and the support portion 13a of the lid member 13 (i.e., the portion corresponding to the portion A of Fig. 1). . In addition, FIG. 7 is a partially enlarged view showing the upper surface of the support portion 13a of the cover member 13 in a state in which the dielectric sheet 28 of the plasma processing apparatus of the second embodiment is removed. In the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, an annular 0-ring 29a' is provided between the dielectric plate 28 and the support portion 13a of the cover member 13 as a seal for sealing. The first sealing member of the plasma processing space in the container 1 is processed. Further, on the outer peripheral side of the O-ring 29a, a spacer 60 is provided to form a gap d between the support portion 13a of the cover member 13 disposed on the upper portion of the processing container 1 and the dielectric jaw 28. The spacer 60 is made of a material having a larger elastic modulus than the annular 0-ring 29a. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, the 〇-shaped ring 29b as the second sealing member is provided on the inner peripheral side of the annular 〇-ring 2 9a. That is, a mounting groove 133 for attaching the Ο-shaped ring 29b is formed on the inner peripheral side of the mounting groove 131 of the Ο-shaped ring 29a on the upper surface of the support portion 13a of the cover member 13, and the Ο-shaped ring is pushed in the mounting groove 133. 29b -23- 201207885 and installed. The mounting groove 133 is a groove (antitch) having a narrow upper portion and a wide lower portion, so that the 0-ring 29b is not easily peeled off. Further, the distance L3' between the inner peripheral end of the Ο-shaped ring 29a and the outer peripheral end of the 〇-shaped ring 29b is preferably in the range of 1.5 to 50 mm from the viewpoint of securing the strength of the support portion 13a. Here, the '0-ring 29b is located on the inner peripheral side of the 0-ring 29a, and is easily irradiated with plasma. Therefore, it is preferable that the Ο-shaped ring 29b is made of a material such as a fluorine-based resin material having a higher plasma resistance than the 〇-type ring 29a, or a fluorine-based resin material having a higher plasma resistance than the 〇-type ring 29a. The material is formed by coating an elastic member. Further, since the vacuum sealing is performed by the Ο-shaped ring 29a, the 〇-shaped ring 29b can also be a material having a lower vacuum tightness than the Ο-shaped ring 29a. Here, the specific combination of the material of the 〇-shaped ring 29a and the Ο-shaped ring 29b is, for example, a fluorocarbon rubber such as Viton® (registered trademark) manufactured by Du Pont Co., Ltd., which is excellent in vacuum sealing property, or the like, and the Ο-shaped ring 29a is formed. It is preferable to form the Ο-shaped ring 29b by Kalrez® (registered trademark) manufactured by Du Pont Co., Ltd., which is higher in plasma resistance than the Ο-type ring 29a, or a fluorene-based resin or the like.

The ring 29b prevents the 〇-shaped ring 29a from being deteriorated by the plasma. Therefore, the vacuum tightness in the processing container 1 using the Ο-ring 29a can be maintained for a long period of time. Further, since the maintenance period such as replacement of the 0-ring 29a of the consumables can be prolonged, the length of the apparatus can be increased during operation, and the productivity can be improved. As described above, the plasma processing apparatus according to the second embodiment is similar to the plasma processing apparatus 100 of the first embodiment-24-201207885, and the gap between the cover member 13 and the dielectric plate 28 is made by the spacer 60. It is preferably formed in the range of 0.05 to 0.4 mm, more preferably in the range of 0.05 to 0.2 mm, and most preferably in the range of 0.05 to 0.08 mm. By this gap d, even if the cover member 13 or the dielectric plate 28 thermally expands due to the heat of the plasma generated in the processing container 1, or the dielectric plate 28 is bent downward due to the vacuum, the cover member 13 can be prevented. Contact and friction with the dielectric plate 28. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the dielectric plate 28 from being damaged or the friction with the cover member 13 from causing the occurrence of particles. Further, in the plasma processing apparatus of the present embodiment, the 〇-ring 29a having a high vacuum sealability as the first sealing member and the 〇-type ring 9 9b having a high plasma resistance as the second sealing member are double Ο The ring structure prevents deterioration of the 〇-shaped ring 29a caused by plasma irradiation, and maintains the vacuum sealed state in the processing container 1 for a long period of time. In the present embodiment, the gap d is formed between the cover member 13 and the dielectric plate 28 by the spacer 60, so that the plasma easily enters the gap d. Therefore, the plasma intruding into the gap d can be blocked by the Ο-type ring 29b having high plasma resistance. In the plasma processing apparatus of the present embodiment, the spacer 60, the 〇-ring 29a as the first sealing member, and the 0-ring 29b as the second sealing member are provided in this order from the outside to the inside (vacuum side). By this configuration, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of breakage or fine particles by the contact between the dielectric sheet 28 and the lid member 13, and to prevent deterioration of the 〇-shaped ring 29a, and to ensure vacuum sealing properties for a long period of time. Other configurations and effects of the embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment. -25-201207885 [Third embodiment] Next, a plasma processing apparatus according to a third embodiment will be described. Unlike the plasma processing apparatus according to the first and second embodiments, only the spacer between the dielectric board 28 and the support portion 13 a of the cover member 13 has a structure, and therefore, it is the same as the first and second embodiments. The description of the components is omitted, and only the configuration of the spacer of the plasma processing apparatus according to the third embodiment will be described. FIG. 8 is a partial enlarged view showing the removal of the dielectric plate of the plasma processing apparatus of the third embodiment. The upper surface of the support portion 13a of the cover member 13 in the state of 28 is shown. As shown in Fig. 8, in the third embodiment, as in the first embodiment, a first portion for sealing the plasma processing space in the processing container 1 between the dielectric plate 28 and the support portion 13a of the lid member 13 is provided. An annular 0-ring 29a of the sealing member. Further, on the outer peripheral side of the O-ring 29a, a gap d is formed between the support portion 13a of the cover member 13 disposed on the upper portion of the processing container 1 and the dielectric plate 28, and the plural is intermittently provided. Spacer 60A, 60A, ....

The gap d is preferably in the range of 0.05 to 0.4 mm, more preferably in the range of 0.05 to 0.2 mm, and most preferably in the range of 0.05 to 0.08 mm. By this gap d, even if the cover member 13 or the dielectric plate 28 thermally expands due to the plasma irradiation in the processing container 1, or the dielectric plate 28 is deformed, the support of the cover member 13 can be prevented -26-201207885 The portion 13a is in contact with and rubbed against the dielectric plate 28. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the dielectric plate 28 from being broken or rubbing to generate particles. In particular, in the plasma processing apparatus of the present embodiment, a plurality of spacers 60A, 60A, . . . are provided intermittently on the outer peripheral side of the 〇-ring 29a. Therefore, the contact area between the plurality of spacers 60A' 60A, ... and the dielectric plate 28 becomes small', and the friction between the spacer 60A and the dielectric plate 28 is reduced to cause the occurrence of particles. In the third embodiment, for example, as shown in Fig. 9, when the Ο-ring 29a and the Ο-ring 29b are provided, a plurality of spacers 60A, 60A may be intermittently provided on the outer peripheral side of the 〇-ring 29a. ,. ·.. In the present embodiment, it is preferable that the spacers 60A are disposed at, for example, two places (two or more divisions). Thereby, the spacer 60A can be provided flat without being skewed on the surface of the step portion of the support portion 13a. Further, since the gap between the dielectric plate 28 and the support portion 13a can be formed with high precision, the dielectric plate 28 does not contact or rub against the support portion 13a, and damage of the dielectric plate 28 or generation of particles can be prevented. Other configurations and effects of the present embodiment are the same as those of the first and second embodiments. [Fourth embodiment] Next, a plasma processing apparatus according to a fourth embodiment will be described. Unlike the plasma processing apparatuses of the first to third embodiments, the spacers between the dielectric sheet 28 and the support portion 13a of the lid member 13 are different from the first to third embodiments. The description of the components is omitted, and only the configuration of the spacers in the plasma processing apparatus of the fourth embodiment -27 to 201207885 will be described. In the plasma processing apparatus of the first to third embodiments, a gap L1 in the horizontal direction is provided between the inner wall surface 13c of the lid member 13 and the wall surface 28a of the outer peripheral end of the dielectric sheet 28. This gap L 1 is a gap in consideration of thermal expansion of the dielectric plate 28. In the plasma processing apparatus of the present embodiment, the spacer 60 made of a material having a larger modulus of elasticity than the 0-rings 29a and 29b has a positioning function in the horizontal direction of the dielectric board 28. Fig. 10 is a partial cross-sectional view showing, in detail, a portion where the dielectric plate 28 of the plasma processing apparatus of the fourth embodiment is connected to the support portion 13a of the lid member 13 (i.e., a portion corresponding to the portion A of Fig. 1). In the meantime, the upper surface of the support portion 13a of the cover member 13 in the state in which the dielectric sheet 28 of the plasma processing apparatus of the fourth embodiment is removed is partially enlarged. As shown in Fig. 10 and Fig. 11, the spacer 60B of the plasma processing apparatus according to the fourth embodiment has an L-shaped cross-sectional shape in order to position the dielectric plate 28 in the horizontal direction. That is, the spacer 60B protrudes from the upper portion on the outer peripheral side to form the protruding portion 60a. In the plasma processing apparatus of the fourth embodiment, the dielectric board 28 can be positioned in the horizontal direction by the protruding portion 60a of the spacer 60B. In other words, the dielectric plate 28 can be surely disposed at a predetermined horizontal position, and the horizontal direction can be surely ensured between the wall surface 13c of the inner periphery of the cover member 13 and the wall surface 28a of the outer peripheral end of the dielectric plate 28. The gap L 1 . Further, the height of the protruding portion 60a of the spacer 60B can be arbitrarily set in accordance with the thickness of the dielectric board 28.

The gap d formed between 28 is preferably in the range of 0.05 to 0.4 mm, more preferably 0.05 to 0.2 mm, and is preferably formed in the range of 0.05 to 0.08 mm. By this gap d, even if the cover member 13 or the dielectric plate 28 thermally expands due to the plasma irradiation in the processing container 1, or the dielectric plate 28 is deformed, the support portion 13a of the cover member 13 can be prevented from intervening. The electroless plate 28 is in contact with and rubbed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the dielectric plate 28 from being broken or rubbing to generate particles. In particular, in the plasma processing apparatus of the present embodiment, in order to position the dielectric plate 28 in the horizontal direction, a protruding portion 60a in which the cross-sectional shape of the spacer 60B is formed in an L shape and the upper portion on the outer peripheral side is protruded is provided. Therefore, the dielectric board 28 can be surely disposed at a predetermined horizontal position. Further, by the protruding portion 60a, the horizontal gap L1 can be surely secured between the wall surface 13c of the inner periphery of the cover member 13 and the wall surface 28a of the outer peripheral end of the dielectric sheet 28. Further, for example, as shown in Fig. 12, in order to facilitate positioning in the horizontal direction, a dielectric plate 28A having a notch portion 28b at the peripheral end may be used. That is, the dielectric plate 28a can be surely positioned at a predetermined horizontal position by abutting the spacer 60 against the notch portion 28b' of the dielectric plate 28a. Further, a gap L1 in the horizontal direction can be surely ensured between the wall surface 13c on the inner circumference of the lid member 13 and the wall surface 28a at the outer peripheral end of the dielectric sheet 28A. The spacer 60 itself is the same as that shown in FIG. 4 and the like. In the same manner as the spacer 60 of the first embodiment, the spacer 60 may be used as long as the cross-sectional square or the rectangular spacer 60 is used, and the thickness of the spacer 6 设定 may be increased. Moreover, the shape of the spacer 60B shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 and the dielectric plate 28A shown in FIG. 12 can be used, and as shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, a vacuum seal can be used as -29-201207885.

Further, although not shown in the drawings, the spacer 60A may be replaced in the configuration shown in Figs. 8 and 9 of the third embodiment, and a plurality of spacers 60B may be intermittently provided. For example, it is preferable to arrange the spacer 60B at two or more positions (two or more divisions). Thereby, the spacer 60B can be provided without any skew on the surface of the step portion of the support portion i3a. Then, the gap between the dielectric plate 28 and the support portion 13a can be formed with high precision, so that the dielectric plate 28 does not contact and rub against the support portion 13a, and damage of the dielectric plate 28 or generation of particles can be prevented. Other configurations and effects of the present embodiment are the same as those of the first to third embodiments. [Fifth Embodiment] Next, a plasma processing apparatus according to a fifth embodiment will be described. Unlike the plasma processing apparatuses of the first to fourth embodiments, the spacers between the dielectric board 28 and the support portion 13a of the cover member 13 are different from the first to fourth embodiments. The description of the components is omitted, and only the structure of the spacer of the plasma processing apparatus according to the fifth embodiment will be described. In the plasma processing apparatus of the first to fourth embodiments, the elastic modulus is larger than the Ο-rings 29a and 29b between the wall surface 13c on the inner circumference of the lid member 13 and the wall surface 28a at the outer peripheral end of the dielectric sheet 28.

Further, Fig. 14 is a partially enlarged plan view showing the upper surface of the support portion 13a of the cover member 13 in a state in which the dielectric board 28 of the fifth embodiment is removed. As shown in Fig. 13 and Fig. 14, in the plasma processing apparatus of the fifth embodiment, the spacer 60C is composed of a plurality of arc-shaped polyimine tapes which are ring-shaped or combined in a ring shape. The cross-sectional structure of the polyimide tape 70 which can be utilized as the spacer 60C is enlarged in Fig. 15 . The polyimide tape 70 is provided with a polyimide film layer 70A and an adhesive layer 70B provided on one side of the polyimide film layer 70A. Here, the polyimide film layer 70 A is, for example, in a range in which the glass transition temperature (Tg) is in the range of 120 ° C to 250 ° C, and the coefficient of thermal expansion is 3 x 1 (T5 / ° C to 5 x 1 (T5 / ° C range) In the inside, the heat-resistant polyimide resin having a modulus of 3 20 to 3 50 kgf/mm 2 is preferable, and the material of the adhesive layer 70B is only required to have adhesion to the metal surface. In particular, for example, a heat-resistant adhesive can be used. The thickness of the polyimide tape 70 (that is, the total thickness of the polyimide film layer 70A and the adhesive layer 70B) is such that the gap d can be made, for example. The above-described formation is preferably in the range of 5 to 0.4 mm. Therefore, the thickness of the polyimide lens 70 can be, for example, an extremely thin thickness in the range of 35 μm or more and 400 μm or less. A commercially available product such as Kapton® tape (Kapton® is a registered trademark) manufactured by Teraoka Seisakusho Co., Ltd., etc. can be used for the tape 70. In the plasma processing apparatus of the present embodiment, by using the adhesive layer 70B The amine tape 70 is used as the spacer 60C, and the interval is not easily generated -31 - 20 1207885 The displacement of 60C. Therefore, the mounting groove 1 32 may not be provided in the support portion 13a of the cover member 13 to attach the spacer 60C. Therefore, the work required for the processing of the installation groove can be reduced, and the particles resulting from the installation groove can be reduced. In addition, in the present embodiment, the mounting groove 132 similar to the first to fourth embodiments may be provided as needed, and the spacer 60C may be provided here. Further, the spacer 60C may be provided. The surface of the lower surface of the dielectric member 28 and the upper surface of the support portion 13 a of the cover member 13 are attached. The wound or abrasion of the surface of the polyimide film layer 70A constituting the spacer 60C is suppressed. The adhesive layer 70B is brought into contact with the upper surface of the support portion 13a to attach the spacer 60C. The plasma processing apparatus according to the present embodiment is separated from the plasma processing apparatus according to the first to fourth embodiments by the interval. The gap 60 formed between the support portion 13a of the cover member 13 and the dielectric plate 28 is preferably in the range of 0.05 to 0.4 mm, more preferably 0.05 to 0.2 mm, and is preferably formed in the crucible. 〇5~0.08mm in range The gap d, even if the cover member 13 or the dielectric plate 28 thermally expands due to the plasma irradiation in the processing container 1, or is deformed in the dielectric plate 28, the support portion 13a of the cover member 13 and the dielectric plate can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the dielectric plate 28 from being damaged or rubbed to generate fine particles. In particular, the plasma processing apparatus of the present embodiment uses the polyimide tape 70 having the adhesive layer 70B as the spacer 60C, which is less likely to be generated. The displacement, even if the installation groove 1 32 is not provided, can be attached to a predetermined position for positioning. Therefore, there is no need to install a groove for processing. Further, in the present embodiment, as in the second embodiment, a double 0-ring structure can be adopted from -32 to 201207885. That is, as shown in Fig. 16 and Fig. 17, the polyimide tape 70 as the spacer 60C, the Ο-ring 29a having high vacuum sealing property, and the plasma resistance can be sequentially provided from the outside to the inside (vacuum side). High 0-ring 2 9b. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the deterioration of the O-ring 29a while preventing the contact of the cover member 13 of the dielectric plate 28 from being damaged or the occurrence of fine particles, and to secure the vacuum sealing property for a long period of time. Further, although not shown in the drawings, similarly to the configuration shown in Figs. 8 and 9 of the third embodiment, a plurality of polyimine tapes 70»polyimine as the spacers 60C may be intermittently provided. It is preferable that the tape 7 is attached to two or more places (two or more divisions), and for example, it can be attached to three places (three divisions). Thereby, the polyimide tape 70 can be attached flat on the surface of the support portion 13a without wrinkles. Moreover, the gap d between the dielectric plate 28 and the support portion 13a can be formed with high precision, so that the contact between the dielectric plate 28 and the support portion 13a is not rubbed, and the dielectric plate 28 can be prevented from being damaged or fine particles. occur. Other configurations and effects of the present embodiment are the same as those of the first to third embodiments. [Sixth embodiment] Next, a plasma processing apparatus according to a sixth embodiment will be described. The difference from the plasma processing apparatus according to the fifth embodiment is the structure of the sealing member between the dielectric sheet 28 and the support portion 13a of the lid member 13. Therefore, the description of the same components as those of the first to fifth embodiments is omitted. The structure of the sealing member which is characteristic of the plasma processing apparatus of the sixth embodiment will be described. An aspect of the plasma processing apparatus of the fifth embodiment is the cover member! Between the wall surface 13c of the inner circumference of 3 - 33 - 201207885 and the wall surface 28a of the outer peripheral end of the dielectric board 28, the polyimide 60 tape is used as the spacer 60C which consists of a material which is larger than the 〇 type ring. A 真空-type ring 9 9a having a high vacuum sealing property and a 0-ring 29b having a high plasma resistance are provided. In the present embodiment, a portion having a material having a high vacuum sealing property and a portion of a material having a high plasma resistance are provided in one portion as a sealing member. FIG. 18 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the connection portion of the dielectric plate 28 of the plasma processing apparatus of the sixth embodiment and the support portion 13a of the cover member 13 (that is, the portion corresponding to the portion A of FIG. 1). . In addition, FIG. 19 is a plan view showing the upper surface of the support portion 13a of the cover member 13 in a state in which the dielectric sheet 28 of the plasma processing apparatus of the fifth embodiment is removed in detail. As shown in Figs. 18 and 19, in the plasma processing apparatus of the sixth embodiment, the 〇-shaped ring 80 is composed of two different materials. In other words, the portion 80A which is substantially half of the outer peripheral side of the 〇-shaped ring 80 is formed of an elastic material having a high vacuum sealing property, and the portion 80B which is substantially half of the inner peripheral side (vacuum side) is made by the plasma resistance. Highly elastic material is formed. Here, for example, a fluororubber typified by Vito η® (registered trademark) or the like can be used as the elastic material having a high vacuum sealability. Further, the elastic material having high plasma resistance is, for example, a fluorine-based resin such as polytetrafluoroethylene. In the present embodiment, a Ο-shaped ring 80 having a two-layer structure of inner and outer layers (a portion 80 具有 having an elastic material having a high vacuum sealing property and a portion 80 弹性 having an elastic material having a high plasma resistance) is used as the sealing member, whereby the 〇 type can be eliminated. The ring is equipped in two places' as long as it is equipped in one place, it can prevent deterioration of the plasma and ensure vacuum tightness. Therefore, while the number of parts can be reduced, the groove can be installed.

Further, in the plasma processing apparatus of the present embodiment, similarly to the plasma processing apparatus of the fourth to fourth embodiments, the elastic modulus ratio 〇-ring is provided between the support portion 13a of the cover member 13 and the dielectric sheet 28. The gap d formed by the spacer 60C made of a large material is preferably in the range of 0.05 to 0.4 mm, more preferably in the range of 0_05 to 0.2 mm, and preferably in the range of 0.05 to 〇, 〇 8 mm. . By this gap d, even if the cover member 13 or the dielectric plate 28 thermally expands due to the plasma irradiation in the processing container 1, or the dielectric plate 28 is deformed, the support portion 13a of the cover member 13 can be prevented from intervening. The electroless plate 28 is in contact with and rubbed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the dielectric plate 28 from being broken or rubbing to generate particles. Further, similarly to the plasma processing apparatus of the fifth embodiment, by using the polyimide tape 70 having the adhesive layer 70B as the spacer 60C, displacement is less likely to occur, and the mounting groove 132' can be attached without being attached. Attached to a predetermined location for positioning. Therefore, the processing work of the installation groove of the spacer is not required. Further, from the outer side to the inner side (vacuum side), a polyimide tape 70 as a spacer 60C, a portion 80A of a vacuum-tight elastic material having a double-layer inner and outer structure 80, and a plasma-resistant portion can be sequentially provided. With such a configuration, the portion 80B of the high-elastic material can prevent the deterioration of the 〇-ring while preventing the occurrence of breakage or the occurrence of fine particles by the contact between the dielectric sheet 28 and the lid member 13, and the vacuum sealing property can be ensured for a long period of time. . In the present embodiment, the same as the configuration shown in Figs. 8 and 9 of the third embodiment, a plurality of polyimide tapes 70 as spacers 60C may be intermittently provided. . Polyimide tape 70 is preferably attached to -35 - 201207885 in two or more places (two or more divisions), for example, it can be attached to three places (three divisions). Thereby, the polyimide tape 70 can be attached to the surface of the step portion of the support portion 13a without wrinkles. Moreover, the gap d' between the dielectric plate 28 and the support portion 13a can be accurately formed, so that the contact and friction of the dielectric plate 28 with the support portion 13a can be prevented, and the dielectric plate 28 can be prevented from being damaged or particulate. occur. Other configurations and effects of the present embodiment are the same as those of the first to third and fifth embodiments. [Seventh embodiment] Next, a plasma processing apparatus according to a seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described. The plasma processing apparatus of the present embodiment is different from the plasma processing apparatus of the above-described first to sixth embodiments in that it is provided with a viewport for identifying the inside of the processing container 1. In other words, the plasma processing apparatus of the present embodiment maintains any of the features of the plasma processing apparatus including the above-described first to sixth embodiments. Hereinafter, the description of the configuration of the first to sixth embodiments will be omitted, and only the characteristic portions of the plasma processing apparatus of the seventh embodiment will be described. Fig. 27 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a configuration example of a plasma processing apparatus 1A according to the embodiment. The plasma processing apparatus 101 is a viewport 200 provided with a state for confirming the plasma generation space S in the processing container 1 from the outside. Fig. 28 is an exploded perspective view showing the components of the viewport 200 of the plasma processing apparatus of Fig. 27 in an enlarged manner. Figure 29 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the viewport 200 in the horizontal direction. In the side wall 1b of the plasma processing apparatus 101 of the present embodiment, an opening 201 as an observation opening is formed. A projection 211 of a portion of the window member 210-36-201207885 is inserted into the opening 201. Then, the window member 210 is fixed from the outer side of the processing container 1 by a fixing plate 220 as a fixing member. Further, at the position corresponding to the opening 201 of the side wall lb, the lining 7 is also provided with an opening. The window member 210 is formed of, for example, a transparent material such as quartz. The window member 210 has a protruding portion 211 that is inserted into the opening 201 of the processing container 1, and a base portion 213 that is formed integrally with the protruding portion 211 and that is expanded into a flange shape. As shown in Fig. 28, the protruding portion 211 of the window member 210 protrudes in a direction orthogonal to the plate-like base portion 213. The front end face 211a of the protruding portion 211 is curved in an arch shape. The bending of the front end surface 211a is as shown in Fig. 29, and the curvature of the inner peripheral surface lb IN of the side wall lb of the cylindrical processing container 1 is formed to have the same curvature. Further, the amount of protrusion of the protruding portion 211 is determined by considering the thickness of the side wall lb of the processing container 1. Further, the shape (width and thickness) and size (volume) of the protruding portion 211 are precisely machined to substantially match the shape (width and height) and size (volume of the space) of the opening 20 1 of the side wall 1 b. That is, in the state in which the window member 210 is mounted, the inner surface of the opening portion 211 and the opening 201 of the side wall 1b is a distance in a range in which the protruding portion 211 can be inserted into the opening 201, forming a fitting with no gap as possible. This pitch is a range in which the plasma does not enter the opening 201, and is preferably in the range of, for example, 0.1 mm to 2 mm, more preferably in the range of 0.5 mm to 1 mm. The plate-shaped fixing plate 220 is formed to be larger than the base portion 21 3 of the window member 210 by, for example, metal such as aluminum or stainless steel. The fixing plate 220 has a concave portion 221 that is fitted into the base portion 213 of the window member 210, and a through opening 223 provided in the concave portion 221. The fixing plate 220 is fitted into the base portion 213 of the window member 210 at its concave portion 221, and the window member 210 is pushed from the outside to the side wall 1b of the processing container 1 to be fixed. The fixing plate 220 is fixed to the side wall lb at an arbitrary position, for example, by screws. In Fig. 28, the screw holes 2 2 5 formed in the four corners of the fixing plate 220 are depicted, but are not limited to this position or number. The size of the through opening 2 2 3 is smaller than the base portion 2 1 3 of the window member 2 10 in order to ensure that the size ' within the processing container 1 can be recognized and the fixing of the window member 2 10 is surely performed. From here, the inside of the processing container 1 can be identified via the transparent window member 2 1 3 through the through opening 2 2 3 . By using the fixing plate 220 to securely fix the window member 210 to the processing container 1, it is sealed that the plasma does not leak out of the processing container 1" as shown in Fig. 29. At the side wall 1b' of the processing container 1 A groove 203 is formed in such a manner as to surround the opening 201. A 〇-shaped ring 205 as a sealing member is embedded in the groove 203. The window member 210 is pushed to the side of the side wall lb by the fixing plate 220 in a state where the protruding portion 211 is inserted into the opening 201 of the side wall lb, so that the opening 201 can be secured by the Ο-shaped ring 205 around the opening 201. Air tightness. Here, the advantages of the plasma processing apparatus of the present embodiment will be described by comparison with a conventional plasma processing apparatus. In the conventional plasma processing apparatus, a flat window member made of a material such as quartz is attached so as to cover the opening of the processing container 1 from the outside (atmosphere side) to form a viewport. The circumference of the opening is sealed by being provided with a 〇-shaped ring between the flat window members, and the airtightness is maintained. However, with such a conventional viewport structure, the plasma generated in the processing container enters the opening, and it is easy to wrap around the position of the 〇-shaped ring of the sealing portion, causing damage to the 0-ring. The problem that the replacement life of the particles or the 0-ring is shortened. In view of the above problems, the plasma processing apparatus of the present embodiment is such that the window member -38 - 201207885 210 is provided with a protruding portion 211 whose size is almost the same as the size of the opening 201 of the side wall lb. That is, the opening 201 and the protruding portion 21 1 are fitted with a slight gap at almost no gap. Therefore, the arrangement position of the plasma from the plasma generation space S in the processing container 1 to the outer side of the opening 201 of the opening 201 can be effectively prevented. That is, the protruding portion 211 of the window member 210 has a function of preventing plasma from intruding into the opening 201. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the plasma from being wound into the sealing portion via the opening 201, and the 〇-ring 205 is damaged and deteriorated to generate particles, or the replacement period is advanced. Further, the front end surface 211a of the protruding portion 211 is formed by bending together with the curvature of the inner peripheral surface 1bIN of the side wall 1b of the cylindrical processing container 1. With such a characteristic shape, in a state where the window member 210 is attached to the side wall 1b, no step is generated between the inner peripheral surface lbIN of the side wall lb and the window member 210. Thus, since there is no step difference, it is possible to prevent the plasma generated by the plasma generation space S in the processing container 1 from being affected, for example, the diffusion or distribution of the plasma is changed, and the plasma density is changed. Thereby, the treated body in the processing container 1 can be uniformly subjected to a stable plasma treatment. As described above, according to the plasma processing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, generation of particles from the viewport 200 can be reduced. Further, the configuration of the viewport 200 of the present embodiment is applied to the plasma processing apparatuses of the first to sixth embodiments, and it is possible to comprehensively prevent the occurrence of particles in the processing container 1 and to generate stable electricity. The slurry is used for plasma processing, so that a highly reliable semiconductor process can be realized. Other configurations and effects of the present embodiment are the same as those of the first to sixth embodiments. -39-201207885 [Abrasion Test] Next, the results of the abrasion test after evaluating the durability of the polyimide film 70 used in the plasma processing apparatus of the fifth and sixth embodiments will be described. As shown in FIG. 20A and FIG. 20B, an evaluation apparatus is provided which is provided with a metal block 90 which is a support portion 13a of the cover member 13, and a movable quartz plate 91 which is a dielectric plate 28. . Then, a polyimine tape 70 having a thickness of 80 μm is attached to either of the block 90 or the quartz plate 91. In addition, a kapton tape (Kapton is a registered trademark) manufactured by Teraoka Seisakusho Co., Ltd. was used as the polyimide tape 70. Fig. 20A shows a state in which the adhesive layer 70B of the polyimide tape 70 is attached to the block 90, and Fig. 20B shows a state in which the adhesive layer 70B of the polyimide tape 70 is attached to the quartz plate 91. Then, the block 90 is brought close to the quartz plate 91, and the polyimide tape 70 is pressure-bonded from the both sides at a pressure of 280,000 N on the opposite side, and the quartz plate 91 is rotated 60,000 times by a round trip amount of 1 mm. Move in the left and right direction in Figs. 20A, 20B. The thickness of the polyimide tape 70 in the test was measured for the three samples, and the surface roughness of the polyimide tape 70 was measured by a surface roughness measuring instrument (SJ301 manufactured by Mitutoyo Co., Ltd.). The relationship between the number of movements of the quartz plate 91 and the thickness of the polyimide tape 70 is shown in Figs. 21 and 22 . Fig. 21 shows the result of attaching the adhesive layer 70B of the polyimide tape 70 to the block 90, and Fig. 22 shows the case where the adhesive layer 70B of the polyimide tape 70 is attached to the quartz plate 91.

S -40- 201207885 度的測定,聚醯亞胺膠帶70、塊材90及石英板91皆於表面 未產生表面粗糙等。另一方面,由圖22可知,在將聚醯亞 胺膠帶7〇的黏著層70B貼附於石英板91時,在1萬次程度的 往復移動下可見聚醯亞胺膠帶70的膜厚減少。並且,在表 面粗度的測定,在聚醯亞胺膠帶70及塊材90的表面可見擦 傷,擔心產生微粒。 由以上的結果可知,在第5及第6實施形態中,作爲間 隔件60C使用的聚醯亞胺膠帶70是貼附於蓋構件13的支撐 部13a要比貼附於介電質板28來得理想。 [氮化運行試驗] 其次,說明有關使用與第5及第6實施形態同樣構成的 電漿處理裝置來針對30,0 00片的晶圓W進行電漿氮化處理 的運行試驗的結果。本運行試驗是針對晶圓W間的氮濃度 的均一性、微粒數、污染、介電質板與蓋構件的支撐部的 間隙進行評價。對晶圓W表面的矽之電漿氮化處理的條件 是以處理壓力·,30Pa、Ar流量;660mL/min ( seem) 、N2 流量;200mL/min( seem)、微波功率;1950W、處理溫 度500°C、處理時間50秒來實施。並且,使用株式會社寺 岡製作所製的Kapton®膠帶(Kapton®爲註冊商標;厚度 80μη〇作爲聚醯亞胺膠帶70。 首先,計測對3 0,000片的晶圓W之處理前後的介電質 板28與蓋構件13的支撐部13a的間隙d。其結果,間隙d是 處理前爲80.4μηι,處理後爲80·9μηι。因此,藉由介在聚醯 -41 - 201207885 亞胺膠帶70,可使介電質板28與蓋構件13的支撐部13a的 間隙d長期間幾乎維持於一定。 在圖23顯示晶回W間的氮濃度的均一性的結果。由此 結果可知,在3 0,000片的處理中,氮濃度是在大致0.2〜 0.4 [atom%]之間安定地推移,晶圓W間的處理的均一性可 期。 在圖24顯示以微粒計數器所計測之0.12 μπι以上的大小 的微粒數的推移。由此結果可知,經30,000片的處理,所 被檢測出的微粒數是大致5個以下。未見聚醯亞胺膠帶70 本身或介電質板28與蓋構件13的支撐部13a的摩擦所引起 的微粒發生。另外,雖在第1 5,000片的計測結果有10個以 上的微粒被檢測出,但這測定誤差的可能性高。 圖 25 及圖 26 是表示 Li、Na、Mg、Al、K、Ca、Ti、Cr 、Mn、Fe、Ni,Co、Zn、及Cu的污染結果。由此結果未 見,經由30,000片的處理,一旦處理片數增加,污染也增 加之類的相關關係。這可想像是因爲藉由存在聚醯亞胺膠 帶70,可防止介電質板28與蓋構件13的支撐部13a的摩擦 的結果,來自蓋構件1 3的污染發生會被抑制》 以上是以舉例顯示的目的來詳細說明本發明的實施形 態,但本發明並非限於上述實施形態,亦可實施各種的變 形。例如,在上述實施形態是使用RLS A方式的電漿處理 裝置100,但亦可使用其他方式的電漿處理裝置,例如感 應耦合電漿(ICP )、表面波電漿(SWP )等方式的電漿 處理裝置》 -42- 201207885 並且,在上述實施形態中是舉以半導體晶圓作爲被處 理體的電漿氮化處理爲例來進行說明,但作爲被處理體的 基板亦可例如爲FPD (平板顯示器)用的基板或太陽電池 用基板等。 本國際申請案是根據2010年3月31日申請的日本國特 許出願2010-81984號及2010年9月30日申請的日本國特許 出願201 0-22 1 270號來主張優先權者,將該等申請案的全 內容援用於此。 【圖式簡單說明】 圖1是表示本發明之一實施形態的電漿處理裝置的構 成例的槪略剖面圖。 圖2是表示平面天線的構造圖面。 圖3是表示控制部的構成說明圖。 圖4是擴大詳細顯示第1實施形態的電漿處理裝置的介 電質板與蓋構件的支撐部的連接部分的部分剖面圖。 圖5是卸下第1實施形態的電漿處理裝置的介電質板來 部分地擴大詳細顯示蓋構件的端面及上面的部分剖面圖。 圖6是擴大詳細顯示第2實施形態的電漿處·理裝置的介 電質板與蓋構件的支撐部的連接部分的部分剖面圖。 圖7是卸下第2實施形態的電漿處理裝置的介電質板來 部分地擴大詳細顯示蓋構件的端面及上面的部分剖面圖。 圖8是卸下第3實施形態的電漿處理裝置的介電質板來 部分地擴大詳細顯示蓋構件的端面及上面的部分剖面圖》 -43- 201207885 圖9是卸下第3货施形態的電漿處理裝置的介電質板來 部分地擴大詳細顯示蓋構件的端面及上面的其他部分剖面 圖。 圖10是擴大詳細顯示第4實施形態的電漿處理裝置的 介電質板與蓋構件的支撐部的連接部分的部分剖面圖。 圖11是卸下第4實施形態的電漿處理裝置的介電質板 來部分地擴大詳細顯示蓋構件的端面及上面的部分剖面圖 〇 圖12是擴大詳細顯示第4實施形態的變形例的電漿處 理裝置的介電質板與蓋構件的支撐部的連接部分的部分剖 面圖。 圖13是擴大詳細顯示第5實施形態的電漿處理裝置的 介電質板與蓋構件的支撐部的連接部分的部分剖面圖。 圖14是卸下第5實施形態的電漿處理裝置的介電質板 來部分地擴大詳細顯示蓋構件的端面及上面的部分剖面圖 〇 圖15是說明使用於第5實施形態的聚醯亞胺膠帶的構 成剖面圖。 圖1 6是擴大詳細顯示第5實施形態的變形例的電漿處 理裝置的介電質板與蓋構件的支撐部的連接部分的部分剖 面圖。 圖1 7是卸下第5實施形態的變形例的電漿處理裝置的 介電質板來部分地擴大詳細顯示蓋構件的端面及上面的部 分剖面圖。 -44- 201207885 圖18是擴大詳細顯示第6實施形態的電漿處理裝置的 介電質板與蓋構件的支撐部的連接部分的部分剖面圖。 圖19是卸下第6實施形態的電漿處理裝置的介電質板 來部分地擴大詳細顯示蓋構件的端面及上面的部分剖面圖 〇 圖20A是供以說明將聚醯亞胺膠帶貼附於塊材側的磨 耗試驗的圖面。 圖2 0B是供給說明將聚醯亞胺膠帶貼附於石英板側的 磨耗試驗的圖面。 圖2 1是表示將聚醯亞胺膠帶貼附於塊材側時的磨耗試 驗的評價結果的圖表。 圖22是表示將聚醯亞胺膠帶貼附於石英板側時的磨耗 試驗的評價結果圖表。 圖2 3是表示電漿氮化處理的運行試驗的晶圓間的氮濃 度的均一性的結果的圖表。 圖24是表示電漿氮化處理的運行試驗的微粒數的測定 結果的圖表。 圖25是表示電漿氮化處理的運行試驗的污染測定結果 的圖表。 圖2 6是表示電漿氮化處理的運行試驗的污染測定結果 的別的圖表。 圖27是表示本發明的第7實施形態的電漿處理裝置的 構成例的槪略剖面圖。 圖2 8是表示視口的構成構件的狀態擴大圖。 -45- 201207885 圖2 9是表示視口附近的水平剖面的要部擴大剖面圖 【主要元件符號說明】 1 :處理容器 la :底壁 1 b :側壁 1 bIN :內周面 2 :載置台 3 :支持構件 4 :罩構件 5 :加熱器 5a :加熱器電源 6 :熱電偶 7 :襯裡 8 :擋板 8a :排氣孔 9 :支柱 1 〇 :開口部 1 1 :排氣室 1 2 :排氣管 1 3 :蓋構件 1 3 a :支持部 13b :角部 1 3 c :壁面 -46- 201207885 1 4 :密封構件 1 5 :氣體導入部 16 :搬入出口 1 7 :閘閥 1 8 :氣體供給裝置 1 9 a :稀有氣體供給源. 19b :氮氣體供給源 20a、20b、20c :氣體路線 2 1 a、2 1 b :質量流控制器 2 2 a、2 2 b :開閉閥 24 :排氣裝置 27 :微波導入裝置 28 :介電質板 28A :介電質板 28a :壁面 28b :缺口部 29a : Ο型環 2 9b: Ο型環 3 1 :平面天線 32 :微波放射孔 3 3 :緩波材 34 :金屬製罩構件 34a :冷卻水流路 3 5 :密封構件 -47 201207885 3 6 :開口部 3 7 :導波管 37a :同軸導波管 37b :矩形導波管 3 8 :匹配電路 39 :微波產生裝置 40 :模式變換器 4 1 :內導体 5 0 :控制部 5 1 :製程控制器 5 2 :使用者介面 5 3 :記憶部 60 :間隔件 6 0 A :間隔件 6 0 B :間隔件 6 0 C :間隔件 70 :聚醯亞胺膠帶 70A :聚醯亞胺薄膜層 70B :黏著層 80 : 0型環 90 :塊材 91 :石英板 100 :電漿處理裝置 101 :電漿處理裝置 -48 201207885 131,132 :安裝溝 132A :安裝溝 200 :視口 2 0 1 :開口 203 :溝 205 : Ο型環 2 1 0 :窗構件 2 1 1 :突出部 21 la :前端面 21 3 :基部 220 :固定板 221 :凹部 22 3 :貫通開口 220 :固定板 W :晶圓 d :間隙 S :電漿生成空間 -49For the measurement of S - 40 - 201207885 degrees, the polyimide film 70, the block 90 and the quartz plate 91 were not roughened on the surface. On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 22, when the adhesive layer 70B of the polyimide tape 7 is attached to the quartz plate 91, the film thickness of the polyimide tape 70 is reduced by the reciprocating movement of about 10,000 times. . Further, in the measurement of the surface roughness, scratches were observed on the surfaces of the polyimide tape 70 and the block 90, and it was feared that particles were generated. As a result of the above, in the fifth and sixth embodiments, the polyimide tape 70 used as the spacer 60C is attached to the support member 13a of the cover member 13 than to be attached to the dielectric plate 28. ideal. [Nitriding operation test] Next, a result of an operation test for plasma nitriding treatment of 30, 000 wafers W using the plasma processing apparatus having the same configuration as that of the fifth and sixth embodiments will be described. This operation test evaluated the uniformity of the nitrogen concentration between the wafers W, the number of particles, the contamination, and the gap between the dielectric plate and the support portion of the cover member. The conditions for the plasma nitriding treatment of the surface of the wafer W are treatment pressure, 30 Pa, Ar flow rate; 660 mL/min (where), N2 flow rate; 200 mL/min (see), microwave power; 1950 W, treatment temperature It was carried out at 500 ° C for 50 seconds. In addition, Kapton® tape manufactured by Teraoka Seisakusho Co., Ltd. (Kapton® is a registered trademark; thickness 80 μη〇 is used as the polyimide tape 70. First, the dielectric plate 28 before and after the treatment of 300 W wafers W is measured. The gap d between the support portion 13a and the support portion 13a of the cover member 13. As a result, the gap d is 80.4 μm before the treatment and 80·9 μηι after the treatment. Therefore, by interposing on the poly-41-201207885 imide tape 70, The gap between the electric plate 28 and the support portion 13a of the lid member 13 is kept constant for a long period of time. Fig. 23 shows the result of the uniformity of the nitrogen concentration between the crystal returns W. From this result, it is understood that the treatment at 300,000 sheets is obtained. In the middle, the nitrogen concentration is stably shifted between approximately 0.2 to 0.4 [atom%], and the uniformity of the processing between the wafers W is expected. Fig. 24 shows the number of particles having a size of 0.12 μm or more measured by the particle counter. As a result, it was found that the number of particles to be detected was approximately 5 or less after 30,000 treatments. The polyimide tape 70 itself or the support portion 13a of the dielectric plate 28 and the cover member 13 was not observed. Particle generation caused by friction In addition, although 10 or more microparticles were detected in the measurement result of the 15,000th sheet, the possibility of measurement error is high. Fig. 25 and Fig. 26 show Li, Na, Mg, Al, K, Ca, Ti. The result of contamination of Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Co, Zn, and Cu. The result is not seen, and after 30,000 sheets of treatment, once the number of sheets is increased, the pollution is also increased. This is conceivable. Since the polyimide plate 28 can be prevented from rubbing against the support portion 13a of the cover member 13 by the presence of the polyimide tape 70, the occurrence of contamination from the cover member 13 can be suppressed. The embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications may be made. For example, in the above embodiment, the plasma processing apparatus 100 of the RLS A type is used, but other methods may be used. A plasma processing apparatus, for example, a plasma processing apparatus such as an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) or a surface wave plasma (SWP). Further, in the above embodiment, a semiconductor wafer is used as a processed object. of The plasma nitriding treatment is described as an example. However, the substrate to be processed may be, for example, a substrate for an FPD (flat panel display) or a substrate for a solar battery. The international application is filed on March 31, 2010.
