    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for processing a substrate with a radiofrequency inductive plasma in the manufacture of a device. The inductive plasma is maintained with an inductive plasma applicator having one or more inductive coupling elements. There are thin windows between the inductive coupling elements and the interior of the processing chamber. Various embodiments have magnetic flux concentrators in the inductive coupling elements and feed gas holes interspersed among the inductive coupling elements. The thin windows, magnetic flux concentrators, and interspersed feed gas holes are useful to effectuate uniform processing, high power transfer efficiency, and a high degree of coupling between the applicator and plasma. In some embodiments, capacitive current is suppressed using balanced voltage to power an inductive coupling element.

    摘要: A plasma ion source including a plasma chamber, gas inlets, an RF antenna, an RF window, an extraction plate, a window shield, and a chamber liner. The RF window may be positioned intermediate the RF antenna and the plasma chamber. The window shield may be disposed intermediate the RF widow and the interior of the plasma chamber and the chamber liner may cover the interior surface of the plasma chamber. During operation of the ion source, the window shield sustains ionic bombardment that would otherwise be sustained by the RF window. Fewer impurity ions are therefore released into the plasma chamber. Simultaneously, additional dopant atoms are released from the window shield into the plasma chamber. Ionic bombardment is also sustained by the chamber liner, which also contributes a quantity of dopant atoms to the plasma chamber. Dopant ion production within the plasma chamber is thereby increased while impurities are minimized.

    摘要: There is provided a plasma reactor comprising: a vacuum chamber having a substrate support on which a treated substrate is positioned; a gas shower head supplying gas into the interior of the vacuum chamber; a dielectric window installed at an upper portion of the vacuum chamber; and a radio frequency antenna installed above the dielectric window. The gas shower head and the substrate support are capacitively coupled to plasma in the interior of the vacuum chamber and the radio frequency antenna is inductively coupled to the plasma in the interior of the vacuum chamber. The capacitive and inductive coupling of the plasma reactor allows generation of plasma in a large area inside the vacuum chamber more uniformly and more accurate control of plasma ion energy, thereby increasing the yield and the productivity. The plasma reactor includes a magnetic core installed above the dielectric window so that an entrance for a magnetic flux faces the interior of the vacuum chamber and covers the radio frequency antenna. Since the radio frequency antenna is covered by the magnetic core, the magnetic flux can be more strongly collected and the loss of the magnetic flux can be minimized.
