    摘要: A plasma processing chamber is provided. The plasma processing chamber includes a bottom electrode configured to support a substrate and a top electrode located over the bottom electrode. The plasma processing chamber further includes a plasma confinement assembly designed to transition between a closed orientation and an open orientation. In the closed orientation, the plasma confinement assembly defines a first volume for plasma during processing, and in the open orientation, the plasma confinement assembly defines a second volume for plasma during processing which is larger than the first volume.

    摘要: A vacuum plasma processor includes a roof structure including a dielectric window carrying (1) a semiconductor plate having a high electric conductivity so it functions as an electrode, (2) a hollow coil and (3) at least one electric shield. The shield, coil and semiconductor plate are positioned to prevent substantial coil generated electric field components from being incident on the semiconductor plate. During a first interval the coil produces an RF electromagnetic field that results in a plasma that strips photoresist from a semiconductor wafer. During a second interval the semiconductor plate and another electrode produce an RF electromagnetic field that results in a plasma that etches electric layers, underlayers and photoresist layers from the wafer.

    摘要: A method for converting a slope based detection task to a threshold based detection task is provided. The method initiates with defining an approximation equation for a set of points corresponding to values of a process being monitored. Then, an expected value at a current point of the process being monitored is predicted. Next, a difference between a measured value at the current point of the process being monitored and the corresponding expected value is calculated. Then, the difference is monitored for successive points to detect a deviation value between the measured value and the expected value. Next, a transition point for the process being monitored is identified based on the detection of the deviation value. A processing system configured to provide real time data for a slope based transition and a computer readable media are also provided.
