20100089533	ASHING APPARATUS - Disclosed is an ashing apparatus wherein decrease in processing efficiency is suppressed. Specifically, a shower plate is arranged to face a substrate stage on which a substrate is placed, and diffuses oxygen radicals supplied into a chamber. A metal blocking plate is arranged between the shower plate and the substrate stage and has a through hole through which oxygen radicals pass. In addition, the metal blocking plate has a first layer, which is made of a metal same as the one exposed in the substrate, on the surface facing the substrate.	04-15-2010
20100193131	ASHING DEVICE - An ashing device that prevents the ashing rate from changing over time. The ashing device ashes organic material on a substrate including an exposed metal in a processing chamber. The ashing device includes a path, which is formed in the processing chamber and through which active species supplied to the processing chamber pass. The path is defined by a surface on which the metal scattered from the substrate by the active species is collectible, with the surface being formed so as to expose a metal that is of the same kind.	08-05-2010
