Plasma processing apparatus

摘要

A chemical vapor reaction processing apparatus including a reaction chamber; a power source; a source of a reactive film forming gas; a device for inputting the reactive film forming gas into the chamber; a pair of electrodes connected to the power source, at least a portion of the pair of electrodes being provided in the reaction chamber; a power source for supplying a first electric power into the reaction chamber through the pair of electrodes to generate a plasma of the reactive film forming gas in the chamber for providing a plasma CVD deposition of the reactive film forming gas on a surface; a source of a reactive cleaning gas; a device for inputting the reactive cleaning gas into the chamber where the power source supplies a second electric power into the reaction chamber through the pair of electrodes to generate a plasma of the reactive cleaning gas in the chamber so that an inner wall of the chamber is cleaned by the plasma. The reactive cleaning gas may be a (a) fluoride cleaning gas or (b) a fluoride cleaning gas and a hydrogen cleaning gas.
