Patent Number: 
Section: claims

1. A method of resetting a substrate processing apparatus having a chamber, the method comprising:an evacuating step of evacuating the chamber;a temperature setting step of setting a temperature in the chamber;an abnormality judgment step of judging whether or not there is an abnormality in the chamber;a seasoning step of stabilizing an atmosphere in the chamber so as to conform to predetermined processing conditions; anda displaying step of displaying results judged in said abnormality judgment step,wherein:said abnormality judgment step comprises measuring at least one selected from data that change in response to a change in a state inside the chamber, and comparing the measured data with reference data that corresponds to the measured data for a normal state in the chamber; andin said temperature setting step, the temperature in the chamber is set to a temperature different from a temperature in the chamber during ordinary substrate processing. 2. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein in said abnormality judgment step, a processing gas that does not cause production of a reaction product in the chamber is introduced while a substrate in the chamber is subjected to a predetermined process. 3. A method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the processing gas comprises only oxygen. 4. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the measured data comprises a log showing a state of at least one component part of the substrate processing apparatus. 5. A method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the log is of an impedance of a matcher that adjusts high-frequency electrical power applied to a lower electrode disposed in the chamber. 6. A method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the log is of a voltage between a lower electrode disposed in the chamber and a matcher that adjusts high-frequency electrical power applied to the lower electrode. 7. A method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the log is of an opening extent of a control valve that controls a pressure in the chamber. 8. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the measured data is processed substrate light emission data. 9. A method as claimed in claim 8, wherein the light emission data relates to a light intensity ratio. 10. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the measured data is data relating to a high-frequency power source that supplies high-frequency electrical power applied to a lower electrode disposed in the chamber. 11. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein in said evacuating step, the temperature in the chamber is raised. 12. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein in said seasoning step, stability of the atmosphere in the chamber is detected based on a difference in light emission data between two consecutively processed substrates. 13. A method as claimed in claim 12, wherein in said seasoning step, the stability of the atmosphere in the chamber is detected based on a derivative of the difference in the light emission data. 14. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein in said abnormality judgment step, a leak in the chamber is detected based on a ratio of light emission amounts at different wavelengths for light emission from a processed substrate. 15. A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to implement a method of resetting a substrate processing apparatus having a chamber, the program comprising:an evacuating module for evacuating the chamber;a temperature setting module for setting a temperature in the chamber;an abnormality judgment module for judging whether or not there is an abnormality in the chamber;a seasoning module for stabilizing an atmosphere in the chamber so as to conform to predetermined processing conditions; anda displaying module for displaying results judged by said abnormality judgment module,wherein:said abnormality judgment module measures at least one selected from data that change in response to a change in a state inside the chamber, and compares the measured data with reference data that corresponds to the measured data for a normal state in the chamber; andsaid temperature setting module sets the temperature in the chamber to a temperature different from a temperature in the chamber during ordinary substrate processing. 16. A substrate processing apparatus comprising:a chamber;an evacuating device that evacuates said chamber;a temperature setting device that sets a temperature in said chamber;an abnormality judgment device that judges whether or not there is an abnormality in said chamber;a seasoning device that stabilizes an atmosphere in said chamber so as to conform to predetermined processing conditions; anda displaying device for displaying results judged by said abnormality judgment device,wherein:said abnormality judgment device measures at least one selected from data that change in response to a change in a state inside said chamber, and compares the measured data with reference data that corresponds to the measured data for a normal state in said chamber; andsaid temperature setting device sets the temperature in the chamber to a temperature different from a temperature in the chamber during ordinary substrate processing.
