PLASMA PROCESSING DEVICE

摘要

In a microwave plasma-processing device, a shower plate or plasma penetration window opposed to a board to be processed is recessed on the side opposed to the board to be processed, whereby a decrease in plasma density in the peripheral region of the board to be processed is compensated. As a result, even when plasma processing at low pressure, such as etching, is effected, stabilized uniform plasma is maintained in the vicinity of the surface of the board to be processed. Further, such arrangement enhances ignition of plasma.
