AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing plasma processing apparatuses face a challenge in maintaining vacuum integrity when the dielectric plate is damaged.

Method used

A plasma processing apparatus is designed with a sheet member made of insulating material that covers the dielectric plate from the outside, fixed around the opening edge, and secured by bolts to maintain vacuum even if the dielectric plate is damaged.

Benefits of technology

The apparatus ensures that the vacuum is maintained within the container by effectively sealing the damaged dielectric plate, preventing air leakage and pressure rise.

Abstract

Even if the dielectric plate is damaged, the vacuum of the vacuum container is maintained. The plasma processing device (101) includes: a vacuum container (1) whose interior is evacuated by vacuum; an antenna (3) disposed outside the vacuum container, which generates plasma inside the vacuum container (1) by flowing a high-frequency current; a dielectric plate (5) that blocks the opening (1a) formed in the vacuum container (1) facing the antenna (3); and a sheet member (6) that covers the dielectric plate (5) from the outside of the vacuum container (1) and has insulation. The periphery of the sheet member (6) is fixed around the area in the vacuum container (1) where the dielectric plate (5) is disposed.
