    Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus to control fluids such as process gases into two or more substrate process chambers. In one aspect, the gas flow from a first supply to a first processing region is used to control the gas flow of a second supply to a second processing region where the total gas flow is about equal to the total of the gas flows into both the first and second processing regions. In another aspect, the gas flow rate from the first supply for the first processing region is about equal to the gas flow rate for the second supply to the second processing region.

    Abstract: A corrosion resistant part comprising a protective coating formed upon a component part. The protective coating comprises magnesium fluoride, which is substantially pure and substantially dense. Preferably, the coating is at least about 99% pure and at least about 85% dense. For example, such a coating can be formed upon the component part at a temperature of at least about 250null C. and a pressure of not more than about 1null10null5 torr. The resulting coating is effective in protecting the surfaces of an aluminum nitride heater against corrosion within a fluorine-containing environment inside a chemical vapor deposition chamber.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to an apparatus and method of plasma assisted deposition by generation of a plasma adjacent a processing region. One embodiment of the apparatus comprises a substrate processing chamber including a top shower plate, a power source coupled to the top shower plate, a bottom shower plate, and an insulator disposed between the top shower plate and the bottom shower plate. In one aspect, the power source is adapted to selectively provide power to the top shower plate to generate a plasma from the gases between the top shower plate and the bottom shower plate. In another embodiment, a power source is coupled to the top shower plate and the bottom shower plate to generate a plasma between the bottom shower plate and the substrate support. One embodiment of the method comprises performing in a single chamber one or more of the processes including, but not limited to, cyclical layer deposition, combined cyclical layer deposition and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition; plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition; and/or chemical vapor deposition.

    Abstract: A heating chamber assembly for heating or maintaining the temperature of at least one wafer, employs thick film heater plates stacked at an appropriate distance to form a slot between each pair of adjacent heater plate surfaces. The heating chamber assembly may be employed adjacent one or more processing chambers to form a preheat station separate from the processing chambers, or may be incorporated in the load lock of one or more such processing chambers. The thick film heater plates are more efficient and have a better response time than conventional heat plates. A chamber surrounding the stack of heater plates is pressure sealable and may include a purge gas inlet for supply purge gas thereto under pressure. A door to the chamber opens to allow wafers to be inserted or removed and forms a pressure seal upon closing. The slots in the stack are alignable with the door for loading and unloading of wafers. The stack is mounted on a drive shaft that extends through the chamber where it interfaces with a drive that traverses the drive shaft in and out of the chamber to align various slots as desired.

    Abstract: A processing chamber is adapted to perform a deposition process on a substrate. The chamber includes a pedestal adapted to hold a substrate during deposition and a gas mixing and distribution assembly mounted above the pedestal. The gas mixing and distribution assembly includes a face plate, a dispersion plate mounted above the face plate, and a mixing fixture mounted above the dispersion plate. The face plate is adapted to present an emissivity invariant configuration to the pedestal. The mixing fixture includes a mixing chamber to which a process gas is flowed and an outer chamber surrounding the mixing chamber. The processing chamber further includes an enclosure and a liner installed inside the enclosure and surrounding the pedestal. The liner defines a gap between the liner and the enclosure. The gap has a minimum width adjacent an exhaust port and a maximum width at a point that is diametrically opposite the exhaust port.
