    Abstract: A method is for etching successive substrates on a platen in an inductively coupled plasma chamber in which the etching process results in carbonaceous deposits in the chamber. The method includes (a) interrupting the etching processing of substrates, (b) running an oxygen or oxygen containing plasma within the chamber and removing gaseous by-products, and (c) resuming the etch processing of substrates. The method is characterized in that it further includes the step of running an argon plasma in the chamber after step (b) with the platen biased.

    Abstract: A method of processing a semiconductor workpiece includes placing a back surface of the workpiece on a workpiece support in a chamber so that the front surface of the workpiece faces into the chamber for processing, and the back surface is in fluid communication with a back region having an associated back gas pressure. The method further includes performing a workpiece processing step at a first chamber pressure Pc1 and a first back pressure Pb1, wherein Pc1 and Pb1 give rise to a pressure differential, Pb1-Pc1, and performing a workpiece cooling step at a second chamber pressure Pc2 and a second back pressure Pb2, wherein Pc2 and Pb2 are higher than Pc1 and Pb1, respectively.

    Abstract: A method of cleaning a chamber of a plasma processing device to remove depositions formed after the plasma processing device has been used to deposit a dielectric material including silicon and carbon by introducing a first cleaning gas mixture into the chamber through a first gas inlet in a first introducing step; generating a first plasma in the chamber from the first cleaning gas mixture in a first cleaning step; introducing a second cleaning gas mixture into a remote plasma source in a second introducing step; generating a second plasma in the remote plasma source from a second cleaning gas mixture in a remote plasma generating step; and performing a second cleaning step by allowing fluorine radicals from the second plasma to enter the chamber and introducing a third cleaning gas mixture into the chamber at the same time as the fluorine radicals from the second plasma.

    Abstract: A silicon carbide substrate is etched to form a tapered feature. The plasma etch step includes generating a plasma from an etchant gas mixture comprising at least one chlorine-containing component, at least one inert gas component and at least one passivation material precursor. The anisotropic etching of the substrate comprises deposition of a passivation material.

    Abstract: In a method for sputter depositing an additive-containing aluminium nitride film containing an additive element like Sc or Y, a first layer of the additive-containing aluminium nitride film is deposited onto a substrate disposed within a chamber by pulsed DC reactive sputtering. A second layer of the additive-containing aluminium nitride film is deposited onto the first layer by pulsed DC reactive sputtering. The second layer has the same composition as the first layer. A gas or gaseous mixture is introduced into the chamber when depositing the first layer. A gaseous mixture comprising nitrogen gas and an inert gas is introduced into the chamber when depositing the second layer. The percentage of nitrogen gas in the flow rate (in sccm) when depositing the first layer is greater than that when depositing the second layer.
