    摘要: The disclosure relates to a method of cleaning a plasma reactor by creating a vacuum in the chamber (10) while introducing an etchant gas into the chamber through the gas injection ports (14), and applying RF energy to a ceiling electrode (24) in the chamber while not necessarily applying RF energy to the coil antenna (26), so as to strike a predominantly capacitively coupled plasma in the vacuum chamber. In another embodiment the method includes, whenever the reactor is to be operated in an inductive coupling mode, applying RF power to the reactor's coil antenna while grounding the ceiling electrode, and whenever the reactor is to be operated in a capacitive coupling mode, applying RF power to the ceiling electrode, and whenever the reactor is to be cleaned, cleaning the reactor by applying RF power to the ceiling electrode and to the coil antenna while introducing an etchant gas into the vacuum chamber. In yet another embodiment the method includes performing chemical vapor deposition on a wafer by introducing a deposition precursor gas into the chamber while maintaining an inductively coupled plasma therein by applying RF power to the coil antenna while grounding the ceiling electrode, and cleaning the reactor by introducing a precursor cleaning gas into the chamber while maintaining a capacitively coupled plasma in the chamber by applying RF power to the ceiling electrode.

    摘要: Substrate support (64) is provided with multiple pressure zones (68,70) on its surface. A seal area (72) is provided between the different zones to allow different gas pressures in the two zones. A higher gas pressure is provided to a zone (70) corresponding to an area of the substrate where greater heat transfer is desired. The gap between the substrate support and the gas pressure is selected to provide the desired amount of heat transfer. Another aspect is a limited substrate contact using protrusions (66), to maximize heat transfer gas flow. A closed loop control system varies the heat transfer gas pressure in accordance with a temperature sensor. For an electrostatic chuck (64), the dielectric thickness (86) is varied to give a higher electrostatic force at the periphery (94) of the substrate (82).
