摘要: Exemplary semiconductor processing systems may include a chamber having a body having a sidewall and a base. The chamber may include a pumping liner atop the body and a faceplate atop the pumping liner. The chamber may include a substrate support. The substrate support may include a plate and a shaft. The chamber may include a seal plate coupled with the shaft below the plate. The seal plate may have a greater diameter than the plate. The seal plate may include an RF gasket outward of the plate. The substrate support and the seal plate may be translatable between a transfer position in which the RF gasket is vertically spaced apart from the pumping liner and a process position in which the RF gasket is in contact with the pumping liner. A processing region may be isolated from an environment below the sealing plate when in the process position.

摘要: Systems and methods may be used to produce coated components. Exemplary semiconductor chamber components may include an aluminum alloy comprising nickel and may be characterized by a surface. The surface may include a corrosion resistant coating. The corrosion resistant coating may include a conformal layer and a non-metal layer. The conformal layer may extend about the semiconductor chamber component. The non-metal oxide layer may extend over a surface of the conformal layer. The non-metal oxide layer may be characterized by an amorphous microstructure having a hardness of from about 300 HV to about 10,000 HV. The non-metal oxide layer may also be characterized by an sp2 to sp3 hybridization ratio of from about 0.01 to about 0.5 and a hydrogen content of from about 1 wt. % to about 35 wt. %.

摘要: An apparatus for plasma processing includes a first plasma source, a first planar electrode, a gas distribution device, a plasma blocking screen and a workpiece chuck. The first plasma source produces first plasma products that pass, away from the first plasma source, through first apertures in the first planar electrode. The first plasma products continue through second apertures in the gas distribution device. The plasma blocking screen includes a third plate with fourth apertures, and faces the gas distribution device such that the first plasma products pass through the plurality of fourth apertures. The workpiece chuck faces the second side of the plasma blocking screen, defining a process chamber between the plasma blocking screen and the workpiece chuck. The fourth apertures are of a sufficiently small size to block a plasma generated in the process chamber from reaching the gas distribution device.

摘要: Exemplary semiconductor processing systems may include a processing chamber, and may include a remote plasma unit coupled with the processing chamber. Exemplary systems may also include an adapter coupled with the remote plasma unit. The adapter may include a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The adapter may define a central channel through the adapter. The adapter may define an exit from a second channel at the second end, and the adapter may define an exit from a third channel at the second end. The central channel, the second channel, and the third channel may each be fluidly isolated from one another within the adapter.

摘要: Implementations of the disclosure generally provide an improved pedestal heater for a processing chamber. The pedestal heater includes a temperature-controlled plate having a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface. The temperature-controlled plate includes an inner zone comprising a first set of heating elements, an outer zone comprising a second set of heating elements, the outer zone surrounding the inner zone, and a continuous thermal choke disposed between the inner zone and the outer zone, and a substrate receiving plate having a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface, the second surface of the substrate receiving plate is coupled to the first surface of the temperature-controlled plate. The continuous thermal choke enables a very small temperature gradient to be created and manipulated between the inner zone and the outer zone, allowing center-fast or edge-fast etching profile to achieve on a surface of the substrate.

摘要: A rotating microwave is established for any resonant mode TEmnl or TMmnl of a cavity, where the user is free to choose the values of the mode indices m, n and l. The fast rotation, the rotation frequency of which is equal to an operational microwave frequency, is accomplished by setting the temporal phase difference ΔØ and the azimuthal angle Δθ between two microwave input ports P and Q as functions of m, n and l. The slow rotation of frequency Ωa (typically 1-1000 Hz), is established by transforming dual field inputs α cos Ωat and ±α sin Ωat in the orthogonal input system into an oblique system defined by the angle Δθ between two microwave ports P and Q.
