    摘要: The invention provides a removable first edge ring configured for pin and recess/slot coupling with a second edge ring disposed on the substrate support. In one embodiment, a first edge ring includes a plurality of pins, and a second edge ring includes one or more alignment recesses and one or more alignment slots for mating engagement with the pins. Each of the alignment recesses and alignment slots are at least as wide as the corresponding pins, and each of the alignment slots extends in the radial direction a length that is sufficient to compensate for the difference in thermal expansion between the first edge ring and the second edge ring.

    摘要: Provided herewith is a chamber for depositing a film on a substrate comprising a process compartment; a purge compartment, a purge ring located on the chamber body to separate the two compartments, a heater, and a shadow ring covering the periphery of the substrate. Alternatively, the chamber may further comprise a shield interconnected with the shadow ring. Still provided is a method for depositing a film of uniformity on a substrate in such a chamber. The method comprises the steps of positioning the substrate in a process compartment; flowing a process gas into the process compartment; flowing a purge gas in a purge compartment; and exhausting the process and purge gas from the chamber, thereby depositing a film of uniformity on the substrate.

    摘要: A fastening device which prevents rotational and vertical displacement of a purge ring caused by purge gas exiting the purge ring or caused by other processing conditions. The fastening device comprises a clamp which releasably holds the purge ring together with the wafer support. A pin is inserted into a bore through the purge ring, wafer support and the clamp to releasably secure the clamp in place. Slots may be formed in the purge ring to guide placement of the clamp.

    摘要: A dispersion plate for evenly flowing at low pressure into a processing chamber vaporized material, such as a tungsten compound for deposition of metal layers onto a semiconductor, has a disc-like body with a center axis, an input face and an output face. The dispersion plate has a cup-like entrance along the center axis in its input face for receiving a stream of vaporized material and a plurality of passages for flow of vapor with each passage having a length and a diameter and extending radially from the entrance like the spokes of a wheel at inclined angles relative to the center axis from the input face to the output face. Two annular grooves are cut into the output face and intersect with the respective ends of the passages. The plate has a center hole with a flared diameter extending along the center axis from the entrance in the input face to the output face. The hole and plurality of passages are designed to have sufficiently large diameters so as to keep pressure drops low with respect to vapor flowing through the plate.
