Abstract:
An apparatus and method for processing a substrate in a processing system containing a deposition chamber, a treatment chamber, and an isolation region, separating the deposition chamber from the treatment is described herein. The deposition chamber deposits a film on a substrate. The treatment chamber receives the substrate from the deposition chamber and alters the film deposited in the deposition chamber with a film property altering device. Processing systems and methods are provided in accordance with the above embodiment and other embodiments.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for a heated pedestal is provided. In one embodiment, the heated pedestal includes a body comprising a ceramic material, a plurality of heating elements encapsulated within the body, and one or more grooves formed in a surface of the body adjacent each of the plurality of heating elements, at least one side of the grooves being bounded by a ceramic plate.

Abstract:
A process chamber is provided including a sidewall, a substrate support having an outer ledge, and a gas inlet beneath the substrate support. The process chamber further includes a first liner disposed around a bottom surface of the outer ledge of the substrate support. The first liner has an inner surface separated from the outer ledge of the substrate support by a first gap. The process chamber further includes a flow isolator ring having an inner bottom surface disposed on the outer ledge of the substrate support and an outer bottom surface extending outwardly relative to the inner bottom surface, the outer bottom surface overlying the first gap.
