Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a member for a plasma processing apparatus consisting of a tungsten carbide phase. The member includes at least one type of atom selected from the group consisting of a Fe atom, a Co atom, and a Ni atom, in which the total content of the atoms is in a range of 30 to 3300 atomic ppm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A member for a plasma processing apparatus, the member consisting of a sintered body; wherein the sintered body comprises a tungsten carbide crystal phase, wherein the sintered body includes at least one type of iron group atom selected from the group consisting of a Fe atom, a Co atom, and a Ni atom, wherein the sintered body includes a total content of iron group atoms in a range of 30 to 3300 atomic ppm, and wherein the sintered body includes a total content of metal atoms other than W, Fe, Co, or Ni that is 1650 atomic ppm or less. 2. The member according to claim 1 , wherein a porosity of the sintered body is 2% by volume or less. 3. The member according to a claim 1 , wherein a content of each of the Fe atom, the Co atom, and the Ni atom in the sintered body is 1650 atomic ppm or less. 4. A plasma processing apparatus comprising: a sintered body; wherein the sintered body comprises a tungsten carbide crystal phase, wherein the sintered body includes at least one type of iron group atom selected from the group consisting of a Fe atom, a Co atom, and a Ni atom, wherein the sintered body includes a total content of iron group atoms in a range of 30 to 3300 atomic ppm. 5. The member according to claim 1 , wherein the member is configured with at least one component exposed to a plasma processing in the plasma processing apparatus. 6. The member according to claim 1 , wherein a content of each of the metal atoms other than the W atom, the Fe atom, the Co atom, and the Ni atom is 300 atomic ppm or less. 7. The plasma processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein a total content of metal atoms other than a W atom, the Fe atom, the Co atom, and the Ni atom is 1650 atomic ppm or less. 8. The plasma processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein a content of each of metal atoms other than the W atom, the Fe atom, the Co atom, and the Ni atom is 300 atomic ppm or less.
