Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE: A plasma chamber having multiple RF source frequencies is provided to process semiconductor substrates by using multiple RF sources and a common matching circuit. CONSTITUTION: A reaction chamber(100) includes a workpiece support part(105) having a chamber wall and supporting a semiconductor workpiece. An overhead electrode(125) is installed at an upper part of the workpiece support part and includes a part of the chamber wall. A plurality of RF generators(150,220) are used for supplying power to the overhead electrode by using one frequency, respectively. A fixed impedance matching element is connected between the RF generators and the overhead electrode. The overhead electrode has a reactance to form resonance with plasma at an electrode-plasma resonant frequency near to each frequency of the RF generators.
