    摘要: A substrate processing chamber, particularly a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) chamber used both for thermal deposition of a conductive material and a subsequently performed plasma process. The arrangement reduces thermal deposition of the conductive material on peripheral portions of the pedestal (140) supporting a wafer (142) and in a pumping channel (160) exhausting the chamber. A peripheral ring (146) placed on the pedestal, preferably also used to center the wafer, is thermally isolated from the pedestal so that its temperature is kept substantially lower than that of the wafer. Despite its thermal isolation, the peripheral ring is electrically connected to the pedestal to prevent arcing. The pumping channel is lined with various elements (166, 167, 170, 172) some of which are electrically floating and which are designed so that conductive material deposited on these elements do not deleteriously affect a plasma generated for processing the wafer.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to a plasma chamber RF excitation system including a high frequency RF power source (12a) having a fixed RF match circuit (30) at its output and sensing and control apparatus (32) for sensing the amount of RF power delivered by the RF power source and for regulating the output power level of the RF power source so as to maintain the RF power delivered by the RF power source at a desired level, and an RF plasma chamber including an RF radiator. The power source is mounted proximate or directly on the plasma chamber (10) so that the distance between them is much less than an eighth of a wavelength at the frequency of the RF source. The system may further include an endpoint detector (12c) for a plasma etch process or a chamber cleaning process which halts the process when the VSWR or reflected power ceases to change in response to the progress of the etch process.

    摘要: A process chamber 133 is disclosed which provides a 360° circular gas/vacuum distribution over a substrate being processed. The substrate being processed is supported on a heated and optionally cooled pedestal assembly 135. The substrate faces a one-piece gas distribution faceplate 122 being connected to an RF power supply outside the vacuum environment of the processing chamber 133. A pumping channel view port is provided to verify and confirm instrumentation readings concerning the degree of surface deposition on process chamber internal surfaces 265. All process chamber wall surfaces 265 facing the region 141 where plasma will be present during processing (except the gas distribution faceplate) are ceramic 234, 236 and therefore highly resistant to corrosion. The pedestal 136, an un-anodized metal, is also covered with a loosely fitting ceramic surface having alignment features to maintain concentricity between the wafer support surface of the pedestal and the wafer being processed. A valve body 226 is contained within the wall of the processing chamber 133 helping to reduce the surface area available for condensation of volatile process gas constituents which condense or cool in vacuum passage surfaces and can contaminate the process chamber 133 if allowed to migrate back to it through the vacuum piping.
