    摘要: A sputter target assembly particularly useful for a large panel plasma sputter reactor having a target assembly sealed both to the main processing chamber and a vacuum pumped chamber housing a moving magnetron. The target assembly to which target tiles are bonded includes an integral plate with parallel cooling holes drilled parallel to the principal faces. The ends of the holes may be sealed and vertically extending slots arranged in two staggered groups on each side and machined down to respective pairs of cooling holes on opposite sides of the backing plate in pairs. Four manifolds tubes are sealed to the four groups of slots and provide counter-flowing coolant paths.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention generally provide a slit valve door seal. In one embodiment, a slit valve door seal includes a ring-shaped base having a center axis and at least one finger extending from the base. The finger is oriented substantially parallel to the center axis, wherein the base and the finger define a single, one-piece seal member. The seal is particularly suitable for using in sealing substrate access passages formed in load lock chambers.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide a method of welding sputtering target tiles to form a large sputtering target. Embodiments of a sputtering target assembly with welded sputtering target tiles are also provided. In one embodiment, a method for welding sputtering target tiles in an electron beam welding chamber comprises providing strips or powder of sputtering target material on a pre-determined at least one interfacial line between at least two sputtering target tiles, that are yet to be placed, on a surface of support, placing the at least two sputtering target tiles side by side with edges of the at least two sputtering target tiles abutting and forming at least one interfacial line on top of the strips or powder of sputtering target material, pumping out the gas in the electron beam welding chamber, preheating the at least two sputtering target tiles and the strips or powder of sputtering target material to a pre-heat temperature less than the temperature at which the at least two target tiles begin to melt, undergo a change in physical state, or undergo substantial decomposition, and welding the at least two sputtering target tiles placed side by side into a large sputtering target.

    摘要: In one aspect, the invention is embodied in a plasma reactor for processing a semiconductor wafer, the reactor having a pedestal focus ring surrounding the periphery of the wafer for reducing the process etch rate near the wafer periphery, and plural openings through the pedestal focus ring which permit passage therethrough of particulate contamination, thereby reducing accumulation of particulate contamination near the wafer periphery. In another aspect, in order to reduce corrosive wear of the chamber walls, a removable gas distribution focus ring shields the side walls of the plasma reactor from reactive gases associated with processing of the semiconductor wafer.
