    摘要: In one embodiment, the invention is a guard ring for reducing particle entrapment along a moveable shaft of a substrate support. In one embodiment, the guard ring comprises a substantially annular guard ring positioned within a step formed in a sleeve that circumscribes the shaft. The guard ring is positioned to substantially seal a gap separating the shaft from the sleeve, so that the amount of particles and foreign matter that travel within or become trapped in the gap is substantially reduced. In another embodiment, a guard ring comprises a base portion having an inner perimeter and an outer perimeter, a first flange coupled to the inner perimeter, a second flange coupled to the outer perimeter, and a continuous channel separating the first flange from the second flange. The first flange is adapted to function as a spring that accommodates displacement of the shaft.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed for forming thin polymer layers on semiconductor substrates. In one embodiment, the method and apparatus include the vaporization of stable di-pxylylene, the pyrolytic conversion of such gaseous dimer material into reactive monomers, and the optional blending of the resulting gaseous p-xylylene monomers with one or more polymerizable materials in gaseous form capable of copolymerizing with the p-xylylene monomers to form a low dielectric constant polymerized parylene material. An apparatus is also disclosed which provides for the distribution of the polymerizable gases into the deposition chamber, for cooling the substrate down to a temperature at which the gases will condense to form a polymerized dielectric material, for heating the walls of the deposition chamber to inhibit formation and accumulation of polymerized residues thereon, and for recapturing unreacted monomeric vapors exiting the deposition chamber. An apparatus is further provided downstream of the deposition chamber to control both the flow rate or residence time of the reactive monomer in the deposition chamber as well as to control the pressure of the deposition chamber. Provision is further made for an electrical bias to permit the apparatus to function as a plasma etch chamber, for in situ plasma cleaning of the chamber between depositions, for enhancing cracking of polymerizable precursor material, for heating the walls of the chamber and for providing heat sufficient to prevent polymerization in the gas phase.

    摘要: An apparatus for in-situ control of the flow of a liquid precursor into a deposition chamber comprises a liquid injection system having a liquid injection outlet connected to a chamber inlet line upstream of the deposition chamber. The liquid injection system includes a liquid precursor supply, a carrier gas supply, a vaporizer, and a controller managing flows of the liquid precursor and carrier gas to the chamber. A bypass line is connected to the chamber inlet line and includes a bypass valve, a sonic orifice, and a pressure gauge upstream of the sonic orifice. To calibrate the flow of the liquid precursor, a flow of carrier gas is directed into the bypass line at a carrier gas sonic flow rate. A first steady state pressure is measured with the pressure gauge. The liquid precursor is vaporized and directed to the flow of carrier gas into the bypass line. A second steady state pressure is measured with the pressure gauge. Calibration information is computed using the first steady state pressure and second steady state pressure based on sonic flow theory. The calibration information is used to calibrate the controller to correct deviations in the liquid flow rate and achieve a target liquid precursor flow rate for improving wafer uniformity.
