    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a corner spoiler designed to decrease high deposition rates on corner regions of substrates by changing the gas flow. In one embodiment, a corner spoiler for a processing chamber includes an L-shaped body fabricated from a dielectric material, wherein the L-shaped body is configured to change plasma distribution at a corner of a substrate in the processing chamber. The L-shaped body includes a first and second leg, wherein the first and second legs meet at an inside corner of the L-shaped body. The length of the first or second leg is twice the distance defined between the first or second leg and the inside corner. In another embodiment, a shadow frame for a depositing chamber includes a rectangular shaped body having a rectangular opening therethrough, and one or more corner spoilers coupled to the rectangular shaped body at corners of the rectangular shaped body.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to methods of controlling the uniformity of SiN films deposited over large substrates. When the precursor gas or gas mixture in the chamber is energized by applying radio frequency (RF) power to the chamber, the RF current flowing through the plasma generates a standing wave effect (SWE) in an inter-electrode gap. SWEs become significant as substrate or electrode size approaches the RF wavelength. Process parameters, such as process power, process pressure, electrode spacing, and gas flow ratios all affect the SWE. These parameters can be altered in order to minimize the SWE problem and to achieve acceptable thickness and properties uniformities. In some embodiments, methods of depositing a dielectric film over a large substrate at various process power ranges, at various process pressure ranges, at various gas flow rates, while achieving various plasma densities will act to reduce the SWE, creating greater plasma stability.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods for depositing a nitrogen-containing material on large-sized substrates disposed in a processing chamber. In one embodiment, a method includes processing a batch of substrates within a processing chamber to deposit a nitrogen-containing material on a substrate from the batch of substrates, and performing a seasoning process at predetermined intervals during processing the batch of substrates to deposit a conductive seasoning layer over a surface of a chamber component disposed in the processing chamber. The chamber component may include a gas distribution plate fabricated from a bare aluminum without anodizing. In one example, the conductive seasoning layer may include amorphous silicon, doped amorphous silicon, doped silicon, doped polysilicon, doped silicon carbide, or the like.
