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 2):
The temperature control method according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n setting a first correction value to correct for a deviation of a surface temperature of the electrostatic chuck with respect to the setting temperature of each of the heater zones; and setting a second correction value to correct for the temperature interference from the adjacent heater zone with respect to the setting temperature of each of the heater zones; wherein the control temperature of the heater with respect to each of the heater zones is adjusted based on the first correction value and the second correction value.
