摘要: A cam lock clamp comprises a stud having a substantially cylindrical body with a first end including a head area and a second end arranged to support one or more disc springs concentrically about the stud. A socket is arranged to mechanically couple concentrically around the stud with the head area of the stud being exposed above an uppermost portion of the socket. The socket is configured to be firmly attached to a consumable material. A camshaft has a substantially cylindrical body and is configured to mount within a bore of a backing plate. The camshaft further comprises an eccentric cutout area located in a central portion of the camshaft body. The camshaft is configured to engage and lock the head area of the stud when the consumable material and the backing plate are proximate to one another.

摘要: An electrode assembly for a plasma reaction chamber used in semiconductor substrate processing. The assembly includes an upper showerhead electrode which includes an inner electrode mechanically attached to a backing plate by a clamp ring and an outer electrode attached to the backing plate by a series of spaced apart cam locks. A guard ring surrounds the backing plate and is movable to positions at which openings in the guard ring align with openings in the backing plate so that the cam locks can be rotated with a tool to release cam pins extending upward from the upper face of the outer electrode. To compensate for differential thermal expansion, the clamp ring can include expansion joins at spaced locations which allow the clamp ring to absorb thermal stresses.

摘要: A plasma confinement ring assembly with a single movable lower ring can be used for controlling wafer area pressure in a capacitively coupled plasma reaction chamber wherein a wafer is supported on a lower electrode assembly and process gas is introduced into the chamber by an upper showerhead electrode assembly. The assembly includes an upper ring, the lower ring, hangers, hanger caps, spacer sleeves and washers. The lower ring is supported by the hangers and is movable towards the upper ring when the washers come into contact with the lower electrode assembly during adjustment of the gap between the upper and lower electrodes. The hanger caps engage upper ends of the hangers and fit in upper portions of hanger bores in the upper ring. The spacer sleeves surround lower sections of the hangers and fit within lower portions of the hanger bores. The washers fit between enlarged heads of the hangers and a lower surface of the lower ring. The spacer sleeves are dimensioned to avoid rubbing against the inner surfaces of the hanger bores during lifting of the lower ring.

摘要: A gas feed insert configured to be disposed in a passage through an electrode assembly comprising a first insert end having therein a first bore aligned parallel with a linear axis of the gas feed insert. The gas feed insert further includes a second insert end opposite the first insert end, the second insert end having therein a second bore aligned parallel with the linear axis of the gas feed insert and a bore-to-bore communication channel in gas flow communication with the first bore and the second bore. The bore-to-bore communication channel is formed in an outer surface of the gas feed insert so as to prevent a line-of-sight when a gas flows from the first insert end through the bore-to-bore communication to the second insert end.

摘要: A showerhead electrode and assembly useful for plasma etching includes cam locks which provide improved thermal contact between the showerhead electrode and a backing plate. The cam locks include cam shafts in the backing plate which engage enlarged heads of studs mounted on the showerhead electrode. The assembly can include an annular shroud surrounding the showerhead electrode and eight of the cam shafts in the backing plate can be operated such that each cam shaft simultaneously engages a stud on the annular shroud and a stud in an outer row of studs on the showerhead electrode. Another eight cam shafts can be operated such that each cam shaft engages a pair of studs on inner and middle rows of the studs mounted of the showerhead electrode.
