An apparatus for introducing gas into a processing chamber comprising one or more gas distribution tubes having gas-injection holes which may be larger in size, greater in number, and/or spaced closer together at sections of the gas introduction tubes where greater gas conductance through the gas-injection holes is desired. An outside tube having larger gas-injection holes may surround each gas distribution tube. The gas distribution tubes may be fluidically connected to a vacuum foreline to facilitate removal of gas from the gas distribution tube at the end of a process cycle.

A substrate carrier adapted to use in a processing system includes an electrode assembly and a support base. The electrode assembly is configured to generate an electrostatic chucking force for securing a substrate to the substrate carrier. The support base has a heating/cooling reservoir formed therein. The electrode assembly and the support base form an unitary body configured for transport within a processing system. A quick disconnect is coupled to the body and configured to trap a heat regulating medium in the reservoir heating/cooling reservoir when the body is decoupled from a source of heat regulating medium.

Embodiments of a gas diffuser plate for distributing gas in a processing chamber are provided. The gas distribution plate includes a diffuser plate having an upstream side and a downstream side, and a plurality of gas passages passing between the upstream and downstream sides of the diffuser plate. The gas passages include hollow cathode cavities at the downstream side to enhance plasma ionization. The depths, the diameters, the surface area and density of hollow cathode cavities of the gas passages that extend to the downstream end can be gradually increased from the center to the edge of the diffuser plate to improve the film thickness and property uniformity across the substrate. The increasing diameters, depths and surface areas from the center to the edge of the diffuser plate can be created by bending the diffuser plate toward downstream side, followed by machining out the convex downstream side. Bending the diffuser plate can be accomplished by a thermal process or a vacuum process. The increasing diameters, depths and surface areas from the center to the edge of the diffuser plate can also be created computer numerically controlled machining. Diffuser plates with gradually increasing diameters, depths and surface areas of the hollow cathode cavities from the center to the edge of the diffuser plate have been shown to produce improved uniformities of film thickness and film properties.

In large area plasma processing systems, process gases may be introduced to the chamber via the showerhead assembly which may be driven as an RF electrode. The gas feed tube, which is grounded, is electrically isolated from the showerhead. The gas feed tube may provide not only process gases, but also cleaning gases from a remote plasma source to the process chamber. The inside of the gas feed tube may remain at either a low RF field or a zero RF field to avoid premature gas breakdown within the gas feed tube that may lead to parasitic plasma formation between the gas source and the showerhead. By feeding the gas through an RF choke, the RF field and the processing gas may be introduced to the processing chamber through a common location and thus simplify the chamber design.

The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for an atomic layer deposition (ALD) processing chamber for device fabrication and methods for replacing a gas distribution plate and mask of the same. The ALD processing chamber has a slit valve configured to allow removal and replacement of a gas distribution plate and mask. The ALD processing chamber may also have actuators operable to move the gas distribution plate to and from a process position and a substrate support assembly operable to move the mask to and from a process position.

The present invention generally relates to TFTs and methods for fabricating TFTs. For either back channel etch TFTs or for etch stop TFTs, multiple layers for the passivation layer or the etch stop layers permits a very dense capping layer to be formed over a less dense back channel protection layer. The capping layer can be sufficiently dense so that few pin holes are present and thus, hydrogen may not pass through to the semiconductor layer. As such, hydrogen containing precursors may be used for the capping layer deposition.
