SUBSTRATE PROCESSING METHOD AND SUBSTRATE PROCESSING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18231278 titled 'SUBSTRATE PROCESSING METHOD AND SUBSTRATE PROCESSING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for processing a substrate using a substrate processing apparatus.

  • The method involves supplying a process gas containing fluorocarbon and a rare gas to a processing container.
  • A processing target object, which includes a first region made of silicon oxide, is placed on a pedestal within the processing container.
  • The processing target object is then plasma-processed using a first plasma generated from the process gas under specific conditions.
  • The processing target object is further plasma-processed with a bias potential generated by a second plasma of the process gas, under different conditions from the first plasma generation.
  • Steps b) and c) are repeated in a cycle.


Original Abstract Submitted

A substrate processing method is a substrate processing method for a substrate processing apparatus. The method includes: a) supplying a process gas containing fluorocarbon and a rare gas to a processing container in which a placing pedestal for placing a processing target object including a first region made of silicon oxide is arranged; b) plasma-processing the processing target object by a first plasma of the process gas generated under a first plasma generation condition; c) plasma-processing the processing target object in which a bias potential is generated on the processing target object by a second plasma of the process gas generated under a second plasma generation condition different from the first plasma generation condition; and d) repeating the b) and the c).
