Abstract

See full text

A plasma apparatus includes a process chamber having an inner space, a chuck disposed in the process chamber and having a top surface on which a substrate is loaded, a gas supply unit supplying a process gas into the process chamber, a plasma generating unit generating plasma over the chuck, and a direct current (DC) power generator applying a DC pulse signal to the chuck. A period of the DC pulse signal may include a negative pulse duration during which a negative pulse is applied, a positive pulse duration during which a positive pulse is applied, and a pulse-off duration during which the negative pulse and the positive pulse are turned off. The positive pulse duration is between the negative pulse duration and the pulse-off duration. The pulse-off duration may comprise a voltage having a lower magnitude than the voltage of the positive pulse, such as a ground voltage.
