    Abstract: An electrostatic chuck for holding a wafer in a plasma processing chamber, the chuck including a pedestal having a top surface, an internal manifold for carrying a cooling gas, and a first plurality of holes leading from the internal manifold toward said top surface; and a dielectric layer on the top surface of the pedestal. The dielectric layer has a top side and second plurality of holes, each of which is aligned with a different one of the holes of the first plurality of holes in the pedestal. The first and second holes form a plurality of passages extending from the internal manifold to the top side of the dielectric layer and through which the cooling gas is supplied to the backside of the wafer. Each of the first holes and the second hole aligned therewith form a different one of the plurality of passages. The passages are concentrated in regions of the dielectric layer that are in proximity to regions of higher leakage of cooling gas when the wafer is held against the electrostatic chuck by an electrostatic force.

    Abstract: A plasma processing reactor is disclosed which incorporates an integral co-axial transmission line structure that effects low loss, very short transmission line coupling of ac power to the plasma chamber and therefore permits the effective use of VHF/UHF frequencies for generating a plasma. The use of VHF/UHF frequencies within the range 50-800 megahertz provides commercially viable processing rates (separate and simultaneous etching and deposition) and substantial reduction in sheath voltages compared to conventional frequencies such as 13.56 MHz. As a result, the probability of damaging electrically sensitive small geometry devices is reduced.
