    摘要: A plasma reactor for processing a workpiece includes a gas distribution showerhead having a lid, a manifold having a top surface facing the lid and a bottom surface opposing the top surface. Top surface channels in the manifold top surface form a first set of plural paths extending from a first gas input point to plural path ends of the top surface channels. Gas distribution orifices extend axially through the manifold at respective ones of the path ends. Bottom surface channels in the manifold bottom surface form plural paths extending from locations at each of the gas distribution orifices to plural gas distribution path ends. The showerhead further includes a showerhead piece facing the manifold bottom surface and having plural gas injection orifices extending through the showerhead piece.

    摘要: A plasma reactor is provided for processing a workpiece such as a semiconductor wafer or a dielectric mask. The reactor chamber has a ceiling, a side wall and a workpiece support pedestal inside the chamber and facing the ceiling along an axis of symmetry and defining a chamber volume between the pedestal and the ceiling. An RF plasma source power applicator is provided at the ceiling. An in-situ electrode body inside the chamber lies divides the chamber into upper and lower chamber regions. The in-situ electrode comprises plural flow-through passages extending parallel to the axis and having different opening sizes, the passages being radially distributed by opening size in accordance with a desired radial distribution of gas flow resistance through the in-situ electrode body.

    摘要: A method of processing a workpiece in the chamber of a plasma reactor having a ceiling overlying the workpiece by introducing a process gas into the chamber through a gas distribution plate in the ceiling. The gas is introduced by distributing gas flow from a first gas input to plural gas distribution orifices extending through a manifold of the gas distribution plate, and distributing gas flow from each of the plural gas distribution orifices to plural gas injection orifices in a showerhead of the gas distribution plate. The method further includes restricting gas flow in the gas distribution plate to paths having arcuate lengths about an axis of symmetry less than a complete circle. The method also includes capacitively and inductively coupling plasma source power into the chamber through the gas distribution. The method further includes adjusting the plasma ion density radial distribution in the process region by adjusting the ratio between the amounts of the capacitively coupled VHF power and the inductively coupled power.
