    摘要: The invention generally provides a ground shield for use in a physical vapor deposition (PVD) chamber. In one embodiment, a ground shield includes a generally cylindrical body comprising an outer wall, an inner upper wall, an inner lower wall having a diameter less than a diameter of the inner upper wall and a reentrant feature coupling the upper and inner lower walls. The reentrant feature advantageously prevents arching between the shield and target, which promotes greater process uniformity and repeatability along with longer chamber component service life.

    摘要: A continuously variable multi-position magnetron that is rotated about a central axis in back of a sputtering target at a freely selected radius. The position is dynamically controlled from the outside, for example, through a hydraulic actuator connected between a pivoting arm supporting the magnetron and an arm fixed to the shaft, by two coaxial shafts independent controllable from the outside and supporting the magnetron through a frog-leg mechanism, or a cable connected between the pivoting arms and moved by an external slider. The magnetron can be rotated at two, three, or more discrete radii or be moved in a continuous spiral pattern.

    摘要: Embodiments include devices and methods for sputtering material onto a workpiece in a chamber which includes a plasma generation area and a target. A coil is positioned to inductively couple energy into the plasma generation area to generate a plasma. A body is positioned between the workpiece and the target to prevent an amount of target material from being sputtered onto the workpiece. The body prevents an amount of target material from being sputtered onto the workpiece. The body may act as a dark space shield and inhibit plasma formation between the body and the target. The body may also act as a physical shield to block sputtered material from accumulating on the workpiece.
