이 중 화학기상증착법(CVD)을 기반으로 하는 플라즈마 화학기상 장치는 플라즈마에 의해 공정 가스를 분해하여 기재 표면에 대해 전술한 바와 같은 일련의 공정을 수행하는 방법으로 응용될 수 있는 것으로서, 공정 속도 및 공정 품질이 PVD법을 이용한 장치들에 비해 우수하여 최근 널리 이용되고 있다. Among them, the plasma chemical vapor apparatus based on chemical vapor deposition (CVD) may be applied to a method of performing a series of processes as described above on the surface of a substrate by decomposing the process gas by plasma, and the process speed and The process quality is superior to devices using the PVD method and is widely used in recent years.

이러한 종래 플라즈마 화학기상 장치의 일예가 일본 공개 특허 2011-80104호(이하 '선행특허'라 함)에 개시된 바 있다. An example of such a conventional plasma chemical vapor apparatus has been disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2011-80104 (hereinafter referred to as "prior patent").

선행특허는 기재가 롤투롤 방식으로 이송되는 형태로써 기재가 한 쌍의 원형전극 표면을 감아 돌면서 진공챔버의 성막 영역을 지나는 과정에서 분해된 공정 가스가 기재에 성막되는 성막 장치의 예로 개시되어 있다. The prior patent discloses an example of a film forming apparatus in which a process gas decomposed in a process of passing a film forming region of a vacuum chamber while a substrate is wound around a pair of circular electrode surfaces as a substrate is transferred in a roll-to-roll manner is formed on the substrate.

그리고 양 원형전극 내부에는 자기장발생부재가 마련되어 있는데 이들 자기장발생부재에 의해 형성되는 자기장이 기재와 인접한 성막 영역에 플라즈마를 밀집시킨다. A magnetic field generating member is provided inside both circular electrodes, and the magnetic field formed by these magnetic field generating members densifies the plasma in the deposition region adjacent to the substrate.

한편, 이 선행특허는 양 원형전극의 일부 외주면이 다른 영역과 차단된 성막 영역에 위치하도록 하여 성막 공정 수행 중에 기재의 표면 외에 다른 영역에 성막 물질이 퇴적되는 것을 최소화하도록 도모하였다. On the other hand, this prior patent has been to minimize the deposition material deposition in other areas other than the surface of the substrate during the film forming process by placing a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the both circular electrodes in the film forming region blocked from other areas.

그러나 이러한 종래 플라즈마 화학기상 장치는 진공챔버의 다른 영역과 차단된 영역에 한 쌍의 원형전극 일부분이 위치하는 형태이기 때문에, 양 원형전극에서 수행되는 성막 공정을 독립적으로 제어할 수 없다. However, such a conventional plasma chemical vapor apparatus has a form in which a pair of circular electrode portions are positioned in a region blocked from other regions of the vacuum chamber, so that the deposition process performed at both circular electrodes cannot be independently controlled.

또한, 종래 플라즈마 화학기상 장치는 단일의 성막 영역에서 단일의 성막 공정만 수행되는 것으로서, 복수의 상이한 공정 수행을 연속적으로 수행할 수 없는 문제점이 있다. In addition, the conventional plasma chemical vapor apparatus has a problem that only a single film forming process is performed in a single film forming region, and a plurality of different processes cannot be performed continuously.

또한, 단일의 성막 영역에 한 쌍의 원형전극이 배치되는 형태로서 양 원형전극 간의 공정 안정성을 향상시키는데 한계가 따른다. 즉, 일 측의 원형전극에서 발생한 플라즈마에 의해 분해된 공정 가스는 타 측의 원형전극과 기재에 불안정하게 퇴적될 수 있는 것으로서, 공정 안전성 향상에 한계가 따른다. 이러한 공정 안정성의 한계는 고속 공정 수행 불가 및 품질 향상의 한계를 초래하는 문제점으로 대두된다.In addition, a pair of circular electrodes are arranged in a single film forming region, which limits the process stability between the two circular electrodes. That is, the process gas decomposed by the plasma generated from the circular electrode on one side may be unstablely deposited on the circular electrode on the other side and the substrate, and thus, there is a limit in improving process safety. This limitation of process stability is emerging as a problem that can not perform high-speed process and the limit of quality improvement.

이러한 문제점은 종래 플라즈마 화학기상 장치를 성막 공정 외에 식각 공정이나 표면 처리 공정 수행을 위한 용도로 응용할 경우에도 마찬가지이다. This problem also applies to the case where the conventional plasma chemical vapor apparatus is used for the purpose of performing an etching process or a surface treatment process in addition to the film forming process.

따라서 본 발명의 목적은 복수의 공정을 독립적이면서 연속적으로 수행할 수 있으며, 고속 공정에서도 공정 안정성과 품질 향상을 확보할 수 있는 플라즈마 화학기상 장치를 제공하는 것이다.
