Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally provide various apparatus and methods for reducing particles in a semiconductor processing chamber. One embodiment of present disclosure provides a vacuum screen assembly disposed over a vacuum port to prevent particles generated by the vacuum pump from entering substrate processing regions. Another embodiment of the present disclosure provides a perforated chamber liner around a processing region of the substrate. Another embodiment of the present disclosure provides a gas distributing chamber liner for distributing a cleaning gas around the substrate support under the substrate supporting surface.

Abstract: An exemplary semiconductor processing system may include a high-frequency electrical source that has an outlet plug. The system may include a processing chamber having a top plate, and an inlet assembly coupled with the top plate. The inlet assembly may include an electrode defining an aperture at a first end and configured to receive the outlet plug. The aperture may be characterized at the first end by a first diameter, and a second end of the aperture opposite the first end may be characterized by a second diameter less than the first diameter. The inlet assembly may further include an inlet insulator coupled with the top plate and configured to electrically insulate the top plate from the electrode.
