摘要: A semiconductor wafer processing apparatus, and more specifically, an apparatus containing a pedestal assembly having a thermally controlled platen for providing a controllable, uniform temperature distribution across the diameter of a semiconductor wafer. The thermally controlled platen heats and cools the semiconductor wafer placed upon the platen so the workpiece may be maintained uniformly at a predetermined temperature.

摘要: A semiconductor substrate processing chamber is disclosed generally comprising a chamber body that has a semiconductor substrate support assembly disposed in the chamber body. A lid assembly is movably coupled to the chamber body via a dual pivot hinge assembly. The hinge assembly provides two pivot points that minimize the abrasion and pinching of an o-ring disposed between the lid assembly and the chamber body upon closing of the lid assembly.

摘要: Embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to apparatus and methods for a plasma-processing chamber requiring less maintenance and downtime and possessing improved reliability over the prior art. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a substrate support resting on a ceramic shaft, an inner shaft allowing for electrical connections to the substrate support at atmospheric pressure, an aluminum substrate support resting on but not fixed to a ceramic support structure, sapphire rest points swaged into the substrate support, and a heating element inside the substrate support arranged in an Archimedes spiral to reduce warping of the substrate support and to increase its lifetime. Methods include increasing time between in-situ cleans of the chamber by reducing particle generation from chamber surfaces. Reduced particle generation occurs via temperature control of chamber components and pressurization of non-processing regions of the chamber relative to the processing region with a purge gas.

摘要: A workpiece support having dichotomy of thermal paths therethrough is provided for controlling the temperature of a workpiece support thereon. In one embodiment, a workpiece support includes a platen body having a plug centrally disposed in a workpiece support surface of the platen body. A lower surface of the plug defines a void between the plug and a bottom of the bore. The void creates a dichotomy of thermal paths through the platen body thus controlling the temperature of a wafer support surface. Alternatively, the plug and platen body may be fabricated from materials having different rates of thermal conductivity to created the dichotomy of thermal paths in addition to or in absence of the void.
