Abstract: A plasma processing apparatus includes a baffle plate, a shutter, and a driving device. The baffle plate has a cylindrical shape, and has a plurality of through holes formed in a sidewall thereof. The shutter has a cylindrical shape and is provided around the baffle plate to be movable in an axial direction of the baffle plate along the sidewall of the baffle plate. The driving device moves the shutter along the sidewall of the baffle plate. The plurality of through holes are disposed in the sidewall of the baffle plate so that synthesized conductance of the through holes, which are not covered by the shutter, is increased with respect to a movement amount of the shutter as the shutter is moved downward.

Abstract: A measurement part controls power supplied to a heater such that a temperature of the heater becomes constant by using a heater controller, and measures the supplied power in an unignited state in which plasma is not ignited and a transient state in which the power supplied to the heater decreases after plasma is ignited. A parameter calculator performs fitting on a calculation model, which includes a heat input amount from the plasma as a parameter, for calculating the power supplied in the transient state by using the power supplied in the unignited state and the transient state and measured by the measurement part, and calculates the heat input amount. An output part configured to output information based on the heat input amount calculated by the parameter calculator.

Abstract: A baffle structure of a plasma processing apparatus includes a first member and at least one second member. The first member includes a cylindrical portion extending between a placement table and a processing container. A plurality of vertically elongated through holes are formed in the cylindrical portion to be arranged in the circumferential direction. The at least one second member is disposed in the outside of the cylindrical portion of the first member in the radial direction. The at least one second member is arranged to form a cylindrical body having an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical portion. The vertical positions of a plurality of second members may be individually changed. Or, the horizontal position of a single second member may be changed. Or, the single second member may be made to be inclined.

Abstract: A plasma processing apparatus includes a chamber; a dielectric window, a first antenna for generating plasma within the chamber, and a first power supply for supplying RF power to the first antenna. Power is fed to a first line constituting the first antenna from the first power supply and the vicinity of the midpoint is grounded so that the first antenna resonates at a wavelength that is ½ of a wavelength of the RF power. The first antenna includes a first portion close to a first end with reference to a first position separated from the first end by a first distance toward a central portion of the first line, a second portion close to a second end with reference to a second position separated from the second end by a second distance toward the central portion, and a first intermediate portion between the first and second portions.
