Title:
METHOD FOR IMPEDANCE MATCHING OF PLASMA PROCESSING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2017073247
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for impedance matching of a plasma processing apparatus, which adjusts a frequency of a high frequency according to fluctuations of an impedance on a load side of a high frequency power source in an adaptive manner and at a high speed.SOLUTION: An output of a modulation high frequency MRF1 set so that a power in a second period T2 alternately repeated with a first period T1 is smaller than the power in the first period T1 is started by a high frequency power source of a plasma processing apparatus. Subsequently, moving average values of an impedance of a load side of the high frequency power source of a first sub-period Ts1 in the past first period T1 and moving average values of the impedance of the load side of high frequency power source of a second sub-period Ts2 of the past first period T1 are obtained. Next, the frequency of modulation high frequency in the first sub-period Ts1 and the frequency of modulation high frequency in the second sub-period Ts2 are set in accordance with the moving average values.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 18
