Abstract:
A method is provided for controlling a temperature of a heater arranged in a plasma processing apparatus that converts a gas into plasma using a high frequency power and performs a plasma process on a workpiece with the plasma. The plasma processing apparatus includes a processing chamber that can be depressurized, a mounting table that is arranged within the processing chamber, an electrostatic chuck that is arranged on the mounting table and electrostatically attracts the workpiece, and a heater that is arranged within or near the electrostatic chuck and is divided into a plurality of heater zones. The method includes adjusting a control temperature of the heater with respect to each of the heater zones, and correcting a temperature interference from an adjacent heater zone of each of the heater zones with respect to a setting temperature of each of the heater zones upon adjusting the control temperature.

Claim (Index 3):
The temperature control method according to  claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises:\n storing in a memory of the plasma processing apparatus, in advance, a correlation between the setting temperature of each of the heater zones and a current value to be applied to the heater of each of the heater zones to control the temperature of the heater to the control temperature that is calculated with respect to each of the heater zones, based on the first correction value and the second correction value; acquiring a temperature detected by a temperature sensor arranged in at least one heater zone of the plurality of heater zones; setting the acquired temperature as a setting temperature of the at least one heater zone; and calculating the current value to be applied to the heater of each of the heater zones based on the setting temperature of the at least one heater zone and the stored correlation.
