    摘要: Methods and apparatus for processing semiconductor substrates are described. A processing chamber includes a substrate support with an in-situ plasma source, which may be an inductive, capacitive, microwave, or millimeter wave source, facing the substrate support and a radiant heat source, which may be a bank of thermal lamps, spaced apart from the substrate support. The support may be between the in-situ plasma source and the radiant heat source, and may rotate. A method or processing a substrate includes forming an oxide layer by exposing the substrate to a plasma generated in a process chamber, performing a plasma nitridation process on the substrate in the chamber, thermally treating the substrate using a radiant heat source disposed in the chamber while exposing the substrate to oxygen radicals formed outside the chamber, and forming an electrode by exposing the substrate to a plasma generated in the chamber.

    摘要: A substrate processing system has a housing that defines a process chamber. A substrate holder disposed within the process chamber supports a substrate during substrate processing. A gas-delivery system introduces a gas into the process chamber. A pressure-control system maintains a selected pressure within the process chamber. A high-density plasma generating system forms a plasma having a density greater than 1011 ions/cm3 within the process chamber. A radio-frequency bias system generates an electrical bias on the substrate at a frequency less than 5 MHz. A controller controls the gas-delivery system, the pressure-control system, the high-density plasma generating system, and the radio-frequency bias system.

    摘要: A process for removing unwanted deposition build-up from one or more interior surfaces of a substrate processing chamber. According to one embodiment the process comprises performing a substrate processing operation on the substrate within the substrate processing chamber and then transferring the substrate out of the substrate processing chamber; flowing a first etchant gas into a remote plasma source, forming reactive species from the etchant gas and transporting the reactive species into the substrate processing chamber to remove a first portion of the unwanted deposition build-up; and thereafter, flowing a second etchant gas into the substrate processing chamber and forming a plasma within the substrate processing chamber from the second gas in order to remove a second portion of the unwanted deposition build-up.
