    摘要: The present invention generally comprises a backing plate reinforcement apparatus for use in a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition apparatus. When processing large area substrates, the backing plate extending across the chamber may also be quite large. By supporting a central area of the backing plate with a frame structure, the backing plate may be maintained substantially planar. Alternatively, as necessary, the contour of the backing plate may be adjusted to suit the particular needs of the process.

    摘要: One embodiment relates to a loadlock having a first support structure therein to support one unprocessed substrate and a second support structure therein to support one processed substrate. The first support structure is located above the second support structure. The loadlock includes an elevator to control the vertical position of the support structures. The loadlock also includes a first aperture to permit insertion of an unprocessed substrate into the loadlock and removal of a processed substrate from the loadlock, as well as a second aperture to permit removal of an unprocessed substrate from the loadlock and insertion of a processed substrate into the loadlock. A cooling plate is also located in the loadlock. The cooling plate includes a surface adapted to support a processed substrate thereon. A heating device may be located in the loadlock above the first support structure.

    摘要: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to an apparatus having an anodized gas distribution showerhead. In large area, parallel plate RF processing chambers, mastering the RF return path can be challenging. Arcing is a frequent problem encountered in RF processing chambers. To reduce arcing in RF processing chambers, straps may be coupled to the susceptor to shorten the RF return path, a ceramic or insulating or anodized shadow frame may be coupled to the susceptor during processing, and an anodized coating may be deposited onto the edge of the showerhead that is nearest the chamber walls. The anodized coating may reduce arcing between the showerhead and the chamber walls and therefore enhance film properties and increase deposition rate.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention include a heated load lock chamber. In one embodiment, a heated load lock chamber includes a chamber body having a plurality of lamp assembles disposed at least partially therein. Each lamp assembly includes a transmissive tube housing a lamp. The transmissive tube extends into the chamber body and provides a pressure barrier isolating the lamp from the interior volume of the load lock chamber. In another embodiment, an open end of the transmissive tube extends through a sidewall of the chamber body. A closed end of the transmissive tube is surrounded by the interior volume of the chamber body and is supported below a top of the chamber body in a spaced apart relation. The open end of the tube is sealed to the sidewall of the chamber body such that the interior of the tube is open to atmosphere.
