    摘要: A chamber 30 for processing a substrate 25 comprises a support 55 including an electrode 70 at least partially covered by a dielectric 60 that is permeable to electromagnetic energy. The electrode 70 may be chargeable to electrostatically hold the substrate 25, to couple energy to a gas in the chamber 30, or both. A base 90 below the support 55 comprises a slot 95 that may be adapted to serve as a thermal expansion slot to reduce thermal stresses.

    摘要: An electrostatic chuck (20) for holding a substrate (45) in a process chamber (80) having a voltage supply terminal (65) for charging the chuck (20). The chuck includes an electrostatic member (25) comprising at least one electrode (30), an electrically insulated holding surface (40) for holding a substrate (45) thereon, and an electrical contact surface (48) for providing charge to the electrode. A unidirectionally conducting coupler layer (70) electrically couples the contact surface (48) of the electrostatic member to the voltage supply terminal to conduct charge substantially only in a single direction from the terminal to the contact surface. Preferably, an electrical connector (50) having a junction surface (55) bonded to the contact surface (55) of the electrode, and a terminal surface (60) for electrically contacting the voltage supply terminal (65), is used to electrically couple the unidirectionally conducting coupler layer (70) to the voltage supply terminal (65).

    摘要: A susceptor for a wafer support of a semiconductor processing chamber having multiple parallel electrical contacts between an RF electrode and a thick robust electrode near a bottom of the susceptor. The thick robust electrode has a low resistance and, therefore, evenly distributes RF power over its area. The multiple parallel contacts ensure that the RF power is also uniformly distributed across an area of the RF electrode. A plurality of electrically conductive vias extending between the robust electrode and the RF electrode make a plurality of parallel electrical contacts therebetween. Generally, the robust electrode is attached to a bottom side of the susceptor and is aligned substantially parallel to the RF electrode. An insulator plate is attached to a bottom of the susceptor for electrically isolating the robust electrode for the pedestal.

    摘要: A chuck 28 for holding a substrate 4 comprises a surface 27 capable of receiving the substrate 4, the surface 27 having a gas inlet port 40 and a gas exhaust port 42. A non-sealing protrusion is between the gas inlet port 40 and the gas exhaust port 42. The non-sealing protrusion 44 impedes the flow of heat transfer gas between the gas inlet port 40 and the gas exhaust port 42 without blocking the flow of heat transfer gas. Preferably, a sealing protrusion 46 is provided around the periphery of the chuck 28 to form a substantially gas-tight seal with the substrate 4 to enclose and prevent leakage of heat transfer gas into a surrounding chamber 6.
