Abstract:
Provided are a semiconductor device fabricating apparatus configured to perform an atomic layer etching process and a method of fabricating a semiconductor device including performing the atomic layer etching process. The method includes loading a wafer onto an electrostatic chuck in a chamber, performing a first periodical process in which a first gas is supplied to an inside of the chamber and the first gas is adsorbed onto the wafer, performing a second periodical process in which a second gas is supplied to the inside of the chamber and the first gas remaining in the chamber is exhausted to an outside of the chamber, performing a third periodical process in which a third gas is supplied to the inside of the chamber, plasma including the third gas is generated, the plasma collides with the wafer, and the first gas adsorbed onto the wafer is removed, and unloading the wafer to the outside of the chamber.
Abstract:
Plasma processing devices may include a process chamber body, a substrate support unit in a lower portion of the process chamber body, and a window part in an upper portion of the process chamber body. The window part may include a base layer and a surface protection layer on the base layer and configured to face the substrate support unit. The surface protection layer may include an oxide having a columnar structure.
