    Abstract: A plasma processing apparatus includes: a reaction chamber; a plasma generation unit; a stage disposed inside the reaction chamber; an electrostatic chuck mechanism including an electrode portion inside the stage; a heater inside the stage; a support portion which supports a conveyance carrier between a stage-mounted position on the stage and a transfer position distant from the stage upward; and an elevation mechanism which elevates and lowers the support portion relative to the stage. In a case in which the conveyance carrier is mounted on the stage by lowering the support portion, application of voltage to the electrode portion is started in a state that the stage is being heated, and the plasma generation unit generates plasma after at least a part of an outer circumferential portion of a holding sheet holding the conveyance carrier contacts the stage and also after the heating of the stage is stopped.

    Abstract: Method of manufacturing an element chip which can suppress residual debris in plasma dicing. A back surface of a semiconductor wafer is held on a dicing tape. Then, a surface of the wafer is coated with a mask that includes a water-insoluble lower mask and a water-soluble upper mask. Subsequently, an opening is formed in the mask by irradiating the mask with laser light to expose a dividing region. Then, the semiconductor wafer is caused to come into contact with water to remove the upper mask covering each of the element regions while leaving the lower layer. After that, the wafer is exposed to plasma to perform etching on the dividing region exposed from the opening until the etching reaches the back surface, thereby dicing the semiconductor wafer into a plurality of element chips. Thereafter, the lower layer mask left on the front surface of the semiconductor chips is removed.
