Abstract:
In a plasma processing method includes a first stage of generating plasma of a first processing gas and a second stage of generating plasma of a second processing gas, are performed, a time difference between a start time point of a time period during which the second stage is performed and a start time point of an output of the second processing gas from a gas supply system is decided automatically according to a recipe. A delay time corresponding to flow rates of the first processing gas and the second processing gas in the second stage is specified from a function or a table.

Claim (Index 4):
The plasma processing method of  claim 1 ,\n wherein the plasma processing method further comprises: stopping the output of the second gas from the gas supply system at an output stop time point, within the second period, which precedes an end time point of the second period by a second time difference under the control of the controller, wherein the controller specifies, by using a function or a table which relates the flow rate of the first processing gas to a delay time from a time point when the gas supply system stops the output of the second processing gas to a time point when the supply of the second processing gas into the processing vessel is ended, a second delay time related to the flow rate of the first processing gas in the second stage designated in the recipe, and sets the second delay time as the second time difference initially.
