Abstract

A component for a plasma processing apparatus, and a plasma processing apparatus are highly resistant to plasma and are highly durable. The component includes a substrate containing a first element that is a metal element or a semimetal element, and a film located on the substrate and containing yttrium oxide as a main constituent. The film contains yttrium oxide crystal grains oriented with a deviation angle of ±10° from a {111} direction of a crystal lattice plane of yttrium oxide. The yttrium oxide crystal grains oriented with the deviation angle have an area ratio of 45% or greater.

Claims (21)

1. A component for a plasma processing apparatus, comprising:

a substrate containing a first element, the first element being a metal element or a semimetal element;

a film located on the substrate, the film containing yttrium oxide as a main constituent,

wherein the film contains yttrium oxide crystal grains oriented with a deviation angle of ±10° from a {111} direction of a crystal lattice plane of yttrium oxide, and the yttrium oxide crystal grains oriented with the deviation angle of ±10° have an area ratio of 45% or greater; and

an amorphous section between the substrate and film, the amorphous section containing the first element, yttrium, and oxygen, wherein in the amorphous section, yttrium has the highest mass ratio.

2. The component according to claim 1 , wherein

the film contains yttrium oxide crystal grains oriented with a deviation angle of ±5° from the {111} direction of the crystal lattice plane of yttrium oxide, and the yttrium oxide crystal grains oriented with the deviation angle of ±5° have an area ratio of 20% or greater.

3. The component according to claim 1 , wherein

I 310 /I 222 is 0.12 or less, where I 222 is a peak intensity of a (222) plane of yttrium oxide, and I 310 is a peak intensity of a (310) plane of yttrium oxide.

4. The component according to claim 1 , wherein

the film has a coefficient of variation of 0.04 or less in thickness.

5. The component according to claim 1 , wherein

the film has an absolute skewness value of 1 or less in thickness.

6. The component according to claim 1 , wherein

the film has a surface to be exposed to plasma, the surface has an arithmetic mean roughness Ra of 0.01 to 0.1 μm inclusive, the film has a plurality of pores in the surface, and a value resulting from subtracting an average of circular equivalent diameters of the plurality of pores from an average of distances between centroids of neighboring pores of the plurality of pores is 28 to 48 μm inclusive.

7. The component according to claim 1 , wherein

the yttrium oxide crystal grains have a mean grain size of 0.01 to 2.5 μm.

8. The component according to claim 1 , wherein

the yttrium oxide has a first peak within a visible light region when measured by a cathodoluminescence method.

9. A plasma processing apparatus, comprising:

the component according to claim 1 .
