    摘要: Methods and apparatus for processing a substrate are provided herein. For example, a cooling apparatus for use with a substrate support of a processing chamber comprises a heat exchanger, a manifold assembly comprising a first input configured to connect to an output of the heat exchanger, a second input configured to connect to a first coolant supply configured to supply a first coolant, a first output configured to connect to the substrate support of the processing chamber, and a second output configured to connect to an input of the heat exchanger, a gas input configured to connect to a second coolant supply that is configured to supply a second coolant that is different from the first coolant to the substrate support, a first three-way valve connected between the first output of the manifold assembly and the substrate support and connected between the gas input and the substrate support, and a controller configured to control supplying one of the first coolant or the second coolant during operation.

    摘要: A method for recycling a substrate process component of a processing chamber is provided. In one example, the recycling process includes retrieving a reference dimension for the substrate process component. The substrate process component includes a side wall having a bottom surface, an outer surface, a pre-defined wall thickness between the bottom surface and the outer surface, and a residue layer. The reference dimension corresponds to the pre-defined wall thickness. The recycling process includes machining the substrate process component with a mechanical cutting tool. The machining includes securing the substrate process component to a work piece holder and passing the mechanical cutting tool across the outer surface in a machining operation controlled by a controller to remove the residue layer. The controller uses the reference dimension to control the machining operation so that the substrate process component has the reference dimension after removal of the residue layer.

    摘要: Implementations of the present disclosure relate to a sputtering target for a sputtering chamber used to process a substrate. In one implementation, a sputtering target for a sputtering chamber is provided. The sputtering target comprises a sputtering plate with a backside surface having radially inner, middle and outer regions and an annular-shaped backing plate mounted to the sputtering plate. The backside surface has a plurality of circular grooves which are spaced apart from one another and at least one arcuate channel cutting through the circular grooves and extending from the radially inner region to the radially outer region of sputtering plate. The annular-shaped backing plate defines an open annulus exposing the backside surface of the sputtering plate.
