    摘要: A method includes estimating a replacement time of a consumable part of a processing device, specifying a timing after substrate processing of the processing device is completed in a period before the replacement time as a replaceable timing of the consumable part, estimating a movement time period required for the part transporting device to move to a position of the processing device requiring the replacement, and estimating a preparation time period required for preparation until the part transporting device moved to the position of the processing device requiring the replacement becomes a state in which the consumable part is replaceable. The method further includes transmitting a replacement instruction to the part transporting device at a timing before a timing that is earlier than the replaceable timing by a total time of the movement time period and the preparation time period, and instructing the replacement of the consumable part.

    摘要: A disclosed plasma processing method includes generating plasma in a chamber of a plasma processing apparatus by supplying radio frequency power from a radio frequency power source in a first period. The plasma processing method further includes stopping supply of the radio frequency power from the radio frequency power source in a second period following the first period. The plasma processing method further includes applying a negative direct-current voltage from a bias power source to a substrate support in a third period following the second period. In the third period, the radio frequency power is not supplied. In the third period, the negative direct-current voltage is set to generate ions in a chamber by secondary electrons that are emitted by causing ions in the chamber to collide with a substrate.

    摘要: A decrease of an etching rate of a substrate can be suppressed, and energy of ions irradiated to an inner wall of a chamber main body can be reduced. A plasma processing apparatus includes a DC power supply configured to generate a negative DC voltage to be applied to a lower electrode of a stage. In a plasma processing performed by using the plasma processing apparatus, a radio frequency power is supplied to generate plasma by exciting a gas within a chamber. Further, the negative DC voltage from the DC power supply is periodically applied to the lower electrode to attract ions in the plasma onto the substrate placed on the stage. A ratio occupied, within each of cycles, by a period during which the DC voltage is applied to the lower electrode is set to be equal to or less than 40%.

    摘要: In an etching method of a multilayer film including a first oxide film and a second oxide film, a high frequency power in etching an organic film is set to be higher than those in etching a first and second oxide films, and high frequency bias powers in the etching of the first and second oxide films are set to be higher than that in the etching of the organic film. In the etching of the first and second oxide films and the organic film, a magnetic field is generated such that horizontal magnetic field components in a radial direction with respect to a central axis line of a target object have an intensity distribution having a peak value at a position far from the central axis line, and a position of the peak value in the etching of the organic film is closer to the central axis line.

    摘要: A substrate processing method includes a first expanding step, a first gas supplying step, a first plasma processing step, and a first power stopping step. The first expanding step increases the volume of a gas diffusion chamber. The first gas supplying step supplies a first gas into the gas diffusion chamber. The first plasma processing step supplies radio-frequency power from a radio-frequency power supply to generate plasma in a processing chamber accommodating a substrate and reduces the volume of the gas diffusion chamber. The first power stopping step stops the supply of the radio-frequency power after the first plasma processing step.
