The inventive concept provides a substrate treating apparatus. The substrate treating apparatus includes a process chamber provided with a reaction space and having at least one insulation member exposed to the reaction space; a substrate support member for supporting a substate at the reaction space; a gas supply member for selectively supplying a passivation gas or a process gas to the reaction space; a plasma source for exciting the passivation gas or the process gas to a plasma; and a controller for controlling the gas supply member and the plasma source, and wherein the controller controls the gas supply member and the plasma source so the passivation gas is supplied to the reaction space and a supplied passivation gas is excited to the plasma, in a state at which the substrate is not taken into the reaction space.

A semiconductor processing system includes: a semiconductor processing chamber including an electrostatic chuck disposed in a chamber housing, and a first power supplier for supplying first radio frequency (RF) power to an internal electrode disposed in the electrostatic chuck; a voltage measuring device for measuring a voltage corresponding to the first RF power to output a digital signal; and a control device for outputting an interlock control signal to the semiconductor processing chamber, when it is determined that the voltage increases to be within a predetermined reference range based on the digital signal. The electrostatic chuck is configured to enable a wafer to be seated on a surface of the electrostatic chuck.

A workpiece unit that includes a workpiece, a tape stuck to the workpiece; and an annular frame to which an outer circumferential edge of the tape is stuck and which has an opening defined centrally therein. The workpiece is disposed in the opening in the annular frame and supported on the annular frame by the tape, and at least one of the tape and the annular frame has an irreversible discoloring section that discolors in response to an external stimulus. Such a configuration makes it possible to determine whether or not a process involving an external stimulus has been carried out on the workpiece unit, based on the appearance of the workpiece unit (i.e., based on whether the irreversible discoloring section has been discolored or not).

A plasma etching method and a semiconductor device fabrication method, the plasma etching method including providing a source power having a first single pulse to an electrostatic chuck in order to generate a plasma on a substrate; providing a first bias power having a burst pulse different from the first single pulse to concentrate the plasma on the substrate; and providing a second bias power having a second single pulse the same as the first single pulse to accelerate the plasma toward the substrate.

An electrostatic chuck is configured to adsorb and retain an object thereon. The electrostatic chuck includes: a base body on which the object is mounted; an electrostatic electrode that is provided in the base body; a plurality of heating elements that are provided in the base body; and a plurality of current control elements that are provided in the base body, and each of which is connected in series with a corresponding one of the heating elements. Each of operations of the current control elements is controlled in accordance with light radiated toward a corresponding one of the current control elements from an outside of the base body.

A workpiece holding tool includes a substrate, a base, and a cylindrical member. The base includes a gas flow channel including a first portion and a second portion. The first portion extends parallel to a bonding surface of the base. The second portion forms branch connection with the first portion and extends perpendicularly to the bonding surface to be open in the bonding surface. The cylindrical member includes a cylindrical body portion located along the second portion and a cylindrical extension portion continuous with the body portion and extending to the first portion.

A substrate support including a body, a heating element, a first radio frequency filter, and a second radio frequency filter. The body is configured to support a substrate. The heating element is at least partially implemented in a first portion of the body. The first radio frequency filter is connected to an input of the heating element and at least partially implemented in a second portion of the body and connected to the heating element by a first via. The second radio frequency filter is connected to an output of the heating element and at least partially implemented in the second portion or a third portion of the body.

Electrostatic chucks and methods of using electrostatic chucks are disclosed. Exemplary electrostatic chucks include a ceramic body, a heating element embedded within the ceramic body, and two or more temperature measurement devices embedded within the ceramic body. Exemplary methods include measuring temperatures within the electrostatic chuck using two or more vertically spaced-apart temperature measurement devices.

A substrate support includes an electrostatic chuck formed of ceramics and holding a substrate by electrostatic attraction, a base supporting the electrostatic chuck, and a flow path through which a heat exchange medium flows. An upper surface of the flow path is formed of ceramics.
