Abstract:
A deposit on a target object can be removed or the amount thereof can be reduced after plasma etching is completed and before the target object is carried out of a chamber. A method of processing the target object is provided. The method includes etching including a main etching of etching an etching target film of the target object placed on a stage at a low temperature by generating plasma of a processing gas containing a fluorocarbon gas and/or a hydrofluorocarbon gas; raising, immediately after the etching is performed or immediately after the main etching is performed, a temperature of an electrostatic chuck; and carrying-out the target object from the chamber in a state that the temperature of the electrostatic chuck is set to a high temperature.

Claim (Index 6):
The method of  claim 1 ,\n wherein the stage comprises a lower electrode in which a path is formed, the electrostatic chuck is provided on the lower electrode, the temperature control device comprises: a first temperature adjuster configured to supply a first heat exchange medium; and a second temperature adjuster configured to supply a second heat exchange medium having a temperature higher than a temperature of the first heat exchange medium, the first heat exchange medium is supplied into the path from the first temperature adjuster when the main etching is being performed, and the second heat exchange medium is supplied into the path from the second temperature adjuster when the raising of the temperature of the electrostatic chuck is being performed.
