    摘要: A heating plate for a substrate support assembly in a semiconductor plasma processing apparatus, comprises multiple independently controllable planar heater zones arranged in a scalable multiplexing layout, and electronics to independently control and power the planar heater zones. Each planar heater zone uses at least one diode as a heater element. A substrate support assembly in which the heating plate is incorporated includes an electrostatic clamping electrode and a temperature controlled base plate. Methods for manufacturing the heating plate include bonding together ceramic or polymer sheets having planar heater zones, power supply lines, power return lines and vias.

    摘要: A lower electrode assembly for use in a plasma processing chamber comprises a metal base and upper and lower edge rings. The metal base comprises metal plates brazed together and forming a brazed line on a lower side surface of the base, an edge ring support surface extending horizontally inwardly from the lower side surface and an upper side surface above the edge ring support surface. The upper edge ring comprises a lower surface mounted on the edge ring support surface and the lower edge ring surrounds the lower side surface of the base with a gap between opposed surfaces of the upper and lower edge rings and between the lower edge ring and the outer periphery of the base. The gap has an aspect ratio of total gap length to average gap width sufficient to impede arcing at the location of the braze line.

    摘要: Wafer temperature is measured as a function of time following removal of a heat source to which the wafer is exposed. During the wafer temperature measurements, a gas is supplied at a substantially constant pressure at an interface between the wafer and a chuck upon which the wafer is supported. A chuck thermal characterization parameter value corresponding to the applied gas pressure is determined from the measured wafer temperature as a function of time. Wafer temperatures are measured for a number of applied gas pressures to generate a set of chuck thermal characterization parameter values as a function of gas pressure. A thermal calibration curve for the chuck is generated from the set of measured chuck thermal characterization parameter values and the corresponding gas pressures. The thermal calibration curve for the chuck can be used to tune the gas pressure to obtain a particular wafer temperature during a fabrication process.
