Abstract

A plasma processing apparatus provided with a holding stage of a system in which a temperature of an electrode block is controlled so as to control the temperature of a semiconductor wafer. The electrode block is provided with at least first and second independent temperature controllers on inner and outer sides thereof, and a slit for suppressing heat transfer is provided in the electrode block between the first and second temperature controllers.

Claims (6)

1. A plasma processing apparatus provided with a holding stage of a system in which a temperature of an electrode block is controlled so as to control a temperature of a semiconductor wafer, wherein said electrode block is provided with at least first and second independent temperature control means on the inner and outer sides thereof and, a slit for suppressing heat transfer is provided in said electrode block between said first and second independent temperature control means.

2. The plasma processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said slit for suppressing heat transfer is formed substantially concentrically.

3. The plasma processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a heater is provided on the backside of said electrode block.

4. The plasma processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a heater is built in said electrode block.

5. The plasma processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said electrode block is provided, on the surface thereof, with a dielectric film.

6. The plasma processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said electrode block is provided with temperature sensors and temperature control is performed on the basis of information from said temperature sensors.
