Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To always stabilize the environment of a vacuum bell jar without being changed with a treatment by a method wherein the vacuum bell jar is heated in advance by using a temperature regulating mechanism so as to be stabilized at a temperature during the treatment or it is cooled so as to maintain a low temperature even during the treatment. SOLUTION: A heater 10 for heating is laid at a vacuum bell jar 2. That is to say, the temperature of the heater 10 is set so as to become the temperature of the vacuum bell jar 2 at the continuous treatment of a wafer 1. The temperature can be determined by an empirial rule. In addition, a temperature inside the vacuum bell jar 2 is measured by a thermocouple, and it is adjusted by a temperature regulator at the heater 10 so as to become within ±5 deg.C. In this manner, the heater 10 is attached to the circumference of the vacuum bell jar 2, and the vacuum bell jar 2 is heated to the temperature near a process temperature. Thereby, a stable etching characteristic can be obtained.
