    摘要: In one embodiment, a plasma processing device may include a dielectric window, a vacuum chamber, an energy source, and at least one air amplifier. The dielectric window may include a plasma exposed surface and an air exposed surface. The vacuum chamber and the plasma exposed surface of the dielectric window can cooperate to enclose a plasma processing gas. The energy source can transmit electromagnetic energy through the dielectric window and form an elevated temperature region in the dielectric window. The at least one air amplifier can be in fluid communication with the dielectric window. The at least one air amplifier can operate at a back pressure of at least about 1 in-H2O and can provide at least about 30 cfm of air.

    摘要: An electrostatic chuck provides reduced electric field effects about its peripheral edge. In one version, the chuck comprises a dielectric covering an electrode having a perimeter and a wire loop extending about the perimeter, the wire loop having a radially outwardly facing surface that is substantially rounded. Alternatively, the electrode may have a central planar portion comprising a top surface and a bottom surface, and a peripheral arcuate portion having a tip with a curvature length of at least about π/8 radians between a normal to the top surface of the central planar portion and a normal to the upper surface of the tip. The electrostatic chuck is used to hold a substrate in a process chamber of a substrate processing apparatus.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and computer programs are presented for controlling the temperature of a window in a semiconductor manufacturing chamber. One apparatus includes an air amplifier, a plenum, a heater, a temperature sensor, and a controller. The air amplifier is coupled to pressurized gas and generates, when activated, a flow of air. The air amplifier is also coupled to the plenum and the heater. The plenum receives the flow of air and distributes the flow of air over a window of the plasma chamber. When the heater is activated, the flow of air is heated during processing, and when the heater is not activated, the flow of air cools the window. The temperature sensor is situated about the window of the plasma chamber, and the controller is defined to activate both the air amplifier and the heater based on a temperature measured by the temperature sensor.
