ABSTRACT:
A method of designing a shower plate for a plasma CVD apparatus includes (a) providing a shower plate having a convex surface configured by a convex equation; (b) forming a film on a wafer using the shower plate in the plasma CVD apparatus; (c) determining a distribution of thickness of the film formed on the wafer by dividing a diametrical cross section of the film into multiple regions; (d) determining at least one secondary equation; and (e) designing a surface configuration of the shower plate by overlaying the secondary equation on the convex equation.
