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 1):
A method for controlling a temperature of a heater arranged in a plasma processing apparatus that is configured to convert a gas into plasma using a high frequency power and perform plasma processing on a workpiece with the plasma, wherein the plasma processing apparatus includes\n a processing chamber that can be depressurized, a mounting table that is arranged within the processing chamber and that is configured to hold the workpiece, an electrostatic chuck that is arranged on the mounting table and that is configured to electrostatically attract the workpiece by applying a voltage to a chuck electrode, and a heater arranged within or near the electrostatic chuck, the heater being divided into a plurality of heater zones, the heater temperature control method comprising:\n adjusting a control temperature of the heater with respect to each of the plurality of heater zones; and \n correcting a temperature interference from an adjacent heater zone with respect to a setting temperature of each of the heater zones upon adjusting the control temperature of the heater with respect to each of the heater zones.
