    摘要: A plasma processing apparatus is disclosed. The plasma processing apparatus includes a source configured to generate a plasma in a process chamber having a plasma sheath adjacent to the front surface of a workpiece, and a plasma sheath modifier. The plasma sheath modifier controls a shape of a boundary between the plasma and the plasma sheath so a portion of the shape of the boundary is not parallel to a plane defined by a front surface of the workpiece facing the plasma. A metal target is affixed to the back surface of the plasma sheath modifier so as to be electrically insulated from the plasma sheath modifier and is electrically biased such that ions exiting the plasma and passing through an aperture in the plasma sheath modifier are attracted toward the metal target. These ions cause sputtering of the metal target, allowing three dimensional metal deposition of the workpiece.

    摘要: A method of reducing roughness in an opening in a surface of a resist material disposed on a substrate, comprises generating a plasma having a plasma sheath and ions therein. The method also includes modifying a shape of a boundary defined between the plasma and the plasma sheath with a plasma sheath modifier so that a portion of the boundary facing the resist material is not parallel to a plane defined by the surface of the substrate. The method also includes providing a first exposure of ions while the substrate is in a first position, the first exposure comprising ions accelerated across the boundary having the modified shape toward the resist material over an angular range with respect to the surface of the substrate.

    摘要: An improved method of creating thermoelectric materials which have high electrical conductivity and low thermal conductivity is disclosed. In one embodiment, the thermoelectric material is made by depositing a porous film onto a substrate, introducing a dopant into the porous film and annealing the porous film to activate the dopant. In other embodiments, additional amounts of dopant may be introduced via subsequent ion implantations of dopant into the deposited porous film.

    摘要: A plasma processing tool is used to deposit material on a workpiece. For example, a method for conformal deposition of material is disclosed. In this embodiment, the plasma sheath shape is modified to allow material to impact the workpiece at a range of incident angles. By varying this range of incident angles over time, a variety of different features can be deposited onto. In another embodiment, a plasma processing tool is used to etch a workpiece. In this embodiment, the plasma sheath shape is altered to allow ions to impact the workpiece at a range of incident angles. By varying this range of incident angles over time, a variety of differently shaped features can be created.

    摘要: A surface of an insulating workpiece is implanted to form either hydrophobic or hydrophilic implanted regions. A conductive coating is deposited on the workpiece. The coating may be a polymer in one instance. This coating preferentially forms either on the implanted regions if these implanted regions are hydrophilic or on the non-implanted regions if the implanted regions are hydrophobic.
