Abstract

A plasma process system for producing gas plasma in an air-tight chamber by high frequency power to process a substrate with the gas plasma comprising a lower electrode on which the substrate to be plasma-processed is mounted, an upper electrode arranged above the lower electrode, a plasma generator circuit for generating plasma between the upper and the lower electrode, a power source for supplying high frequency power to the plasma generator circuit, and bias generator for generating negative voltage in the upper or lower electrode when high frequency power is supplied from the power source to the upper or lower electrode, wherein the plasma generator circuit includes transformer for supplying a part of high frequency power, which is supplied from the power source, to the bias generator.
