[0064] <First Example of Method for Manufacturing Component 1>

[0065] Figure 2 1 is a flowchart showing a first example of a method for manufacturing a component 1. In one embodiment, the method for manufacturing a component 1 includes: a step of providing a conductive substrate 10 (ST1); a step of disposing a plurality of conductive protrusions 11 on a surface of the conductive substrate 10 (ST2); and a step of disposing (forming) a coating layer 12 on the surface of the conductive substrate 10 and the surfaces of the plurality of conductive protrusions 11 in a manner that a portion of each conductive protrusion 11 is exposed (ST3). Figure 3 The diagrams are for explaining the structure of the component 1 in each step of the method for manufacturing the component 1 .

[0066] In step ST1 of one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , a conductive substrate 10 is prepared. The conductive substrate 10 may be formed into a predetermined shape that becomes the outer shape of the component 1 .

[0067] In step ST2 of one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown in (b), a plurality of conductive protrusions 11 are embedded in the surface of the conductive substrate 10. In one embodiment, a plurality of holes and grooves may be formed in the conductive substrate 10, and the conductive protrusions 11 may be embedded in these holes and grooves.

The plurality of conductive protrusions 11 are electrically connected to each other via the conductive substrate 10. As a result, the coating 12 is disposed on the surface of the conductive substrate 10 and the surface of the plurality of conductive protrusions 11 in such a manner that a portion of each conductive protrusion 11 is exposed.

[0077] In the component 1 , the plurality of conductive protrusions 11 may be integrally formed with the conductive base material 10 .

[0080] In step ST1b of one embodiment, Fig.10 As shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , a conductive substrate 10 having a plurality of protrusions 10 a is prepared.

[0081] In one embodiment, if Fig.11 As shown, step ST2b may include a step of forming the coating layer 12 on the surface of the conductive substrate 10 (ST2b1) and a step of exposing a portion of each protrusion 10a (ST2b2).

[0083] In step ST2b2 of one embodiment, Fig.10 As shown in (c), a portion of the coating 12 is scraped off and a portion of each protrusion 10a is exposed.

[0121] Plasma in Fig.12The plasma is generated in the plasma processing space S in the second chamber 200 shown in the figure. The potential generated by the plasma generated in the plasma processing space S is grounded from the second chamber 200 through, for example, the conductor portion 380, the bottom 100f of the first chamber 100, and the side wall 100s. In addition, the potential generated by the plasma is grounded from the second chamber 200 through, for example, the movable portion 100m, the bellows 140, the upper portion 100u of the first chamber 100, and the side wall 100s.

[0122] In addition, component 1 can also be applied to other components that are located on a current path for grounding the potential generated by the plasma in the plasma processing device 50. Component 1 can be applied to the movable part 100m, the bellows 140, the various components of the first chamber 100, etc. Component 1 can also be applied to other components that constitute the plasma processing device. Component 1 can be applied to a shower head, a lower electrode, an electrostatic chuck, an edge ring, an upper electrode, etc. The shape of the conductive substrate 10 in component 1, the number, shape, position of the conductive protrusions 11 (protrusions 10a), the thickness of the coating 12, etc. can be appropriately changed according to the components of the plasma processing device to which it is applied.

[0123] According to the present exemplary embodiment, a component 1 for a plasma processing apparatus includes a conductive substrate 10, a plurality of conductive protrusions 11, and a coating 12, wherein the coating 12 contains a Si-containing material and is configured in such a manner that the conductive substrate 10 is not exposed and a portion of each conductive protrusion 11 is exposed. By making the component 1 have the conductive substrate 10 and the conductive protrusions 11, the resistance of the component 1 can be reduced. By making a portion of the conductive protrusions 11 exposed, the conductive protrusions 11 can be used as electrical contacts. Thus, the component 1 can be used as a component located on a current path for grounding the potential generated by plasma. In addition, the conductive protrusions 11 can also be used as a portion fixed to other components. Moreover, by configuring the coating 12 containing a Si material on the surface of the component 1, it is possible to suppress the generation of particles from the conductive substrate 10 when plasma is generated. By making the component 1 have the conductive substrate 10 and the conductive protrusions 11, the strength of the component 1 can be ensured. In addition, by forming the coating 12 using CVD, the adhesion of the coating 12 to the conductive substrate 10 and the conductive protrusions 11 is improved, and as a result, the strength of the component 1 can be improved.

[0124] By forming the conductive substrate 10 from carbon, the conductive substrate 10 can be easily molded and the resistance can be reduced. By forming the conductive protrusion 11 from a metal different from the conductive substrate 10, the carbon of the conductive substrate 10 is not exposed, and the generation of particles from the carbon can be suppressed. By forming the conductive protrusion 11 or the conductive substrate 10 and the coating 12 from materials with similar linear expansion coefficients, the strength of the component 1 against temperature changes can be improved.

[0125] Since the conductive protrusions 11 and the conductive base material 10 are integrally formed, that is, the component 1 includes the conductive base material 10 having the protrusions 10 a , the strength of the component 1 can be improved.

[0126] Fig.16 1 is a diagram for explaining an example of the structure of the component 1 when the component 1 is applied to the second chamber 200 of the plasma processing apparatus 50. In this case, the component 1 may include a conductive substrate 10, at least one upper conductive protrusion 11-1, at least one lower conductive protrusion 11-2, and a coating 12 containing Si.

[0127] The conductive substrate 10 may include a top 800, an annular side wall 801, and a bottom 802. The top 800 may have a substantially circular plate shape. The annular side portion 801 may have a substantially cylindrical shape. The bottom 802 may have a substantially circular ring shape. The bottom 802 may extend in a horizontal direction from the annular side portion 501 toward the inside. In addition, the top 800 may be formed with a plurality of pores that penetrate in the longitudinal direction. The bottom 802 may be formed with a plurality of exhaust holes that penetrate in the longitudinal direction.

[0128] One or more upper conductive protrusions 11 - 1 may protrude upward from the upper surface of the top portion 800 of the conductive base 10 .

[0129] One or more lower conductive protrusions 11 - 2 may protrude downward from the lower surface of the bottom portion 802 of the conductive base 10 .

[0130] The coating layer 12 may be formed on the surfaces of the conductive chamber substrate 10, the upper conductive protrusion 11-1, and the lower conductive protrusion 11-2 in such a manner that the upper conductive protrusion 11-1 and the lower conductive protrusion 11-2 each have an exposed portion. The coating layer 12 may also be formed on the inner side surface of the air hole of the top 800 and the inner side surface of the exhaust hole of the bottom 802.

[0131] Fig.17 and Fig.18 This is a diagram for explaining an example of the structure of the plasma processing apparatus 50 in the case where the component 1 is applied to the second chamber 200 of the plasma processing apparatus 50 .

[0132] The exposed portion of the upper conductive protrusion 11-1 may be in contact with a first component 110a, which is an example of an upper conductive component. The first component 110a may be connected to a ground potential. Fig.17 As shown in FIG. 1 , the exposed portion of the lower conductive protrusion 11 - 2 can be in contact with a contact 400 as an example of a lower conductive member. The contact 400 can be connected to a ground potential. Fig.18As shown, the exposed portion of the lower conductive protrusion 11-2 can be in contact with the conductor part 380 as an example of the lower conductive member. The conductor part 380 can be connected to the ground potential. The air hole at the top 800 can be connected to the air hole 100h, and the exhaust hole at the bottom 802 can be connected to the exhaust device 700.
