摘要: Methods and apparatus for etching substrates using self-limiting reactions based on removal energy thresholds determined by evaluating the material to be etched and the chemistries used to etch the material involve flow of continuous plasma. Process conditions permit controlled, self-limiting anisotropic etching without alternating between chemistries used to etch material on a substrate. A well-controlled etch front allows a synergistic effect of reactive radicals and inert ions to perform the etching, such that material is etched when the substrate is modified by reactive radicals and removed by inert ions, but not etched when material is modified by reactive radicals but no inert ions are present, or when inert ions are present but material is not modified by reactive radicals.

摘要: An improved gas injection assembly for mounting in a central bore of a dielectric window of an inductively coupled plasma chamber includes a window having a central bore and cylindrical recess configured to receive an annular insert having a bayonet opening. The gas injector assembly includes a gas injector, an RF shield surrounding the gas injector, and a faceplate surrounding the RF shield, the faceplate including projections at the bottom thereof for engaging the bayonet opening in the annular insert. The window and gas injection assembly are designed to avoid chipping of the window which is typically made of quartz and in prior mounting arrangements the window has a bayonet opening machined therein. Due to the brittle nature of the quartz material, the machined bayonet opening was subject to chipping when the gas injector assembly was inserted into the bayonet opening.

The inductively coupled coil comprises an internal coil and an exterior coil which are respective from each other and coaxially arranged, internal coil comprising a plurality of internal respective branches having the same configurations which are nested together, the plurality of internal respective branches being arranged symmetrically with respect to an axis of the inductively coupled coil; the to external coil comprising a plurality of external respective branches having the same configurations which are nested together, the plurality of external respective branches being arranged symmetrically with respect to the axis of the inductively coupled coil. The inductively coupled coil is located on the reaction chamber of the inductively coupled plasma device and is connected to a RF source. It can make the plasma distribute uniformly on the wafer in the reaction chamber so that the difference in chemical reaction rate on the surface of the wafer is small and the quality of the etched wafer is improved. They can be applied in a semiconductor wafer manufacturing apparatus, and they can also be adapted to other apparatuses.
