    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a large vacuum chamber body that has been welded together. The chamber body may have a high emissivity coating on at least one surface therein. Due to the large size of the chamber body, the chamber body may be formed by welding several pieces together rather than forging the body from a single piece of metal. The pieces may be welded together at a location spaced from the corner of the body, which may be under the greatest stress during evacuation, to ensure that the weld, which may be the weakest point in the body, does not fail. At least one surface of the chamber body may be coated with a high emissivity coating to aid in heat transfer from incoming, heated substrates. The high emissivity coating may increase substrate throughput by lowering the time that may be needed to reduce the substrate temperature.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a layer stack including a high K dielectric layer formed over a first dielectric layer and a metal electrode. The high K dielectric layer has a K value of 20 or higher and may be formed as a part of a capacitor, a gate insulating layer, or any suitable insulating layer in electronic devices, such as display devices. The layer stack includes a second dielectric layer disposed on the first dielectric layer and the metal layer, and the high K dielectric layer disposed on the second dielectric layer. The second dielectric layer provides a homogenous surface on which the high K dielectric layer is formed. The homogeneous surface enables the high K dielectric material to be deposited uniformly thereover, resulting in a uniform thickness profile.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: The present invention generally provides a load lock chamber having slit valve doors. The load lock chamber is used to connect a transfer chamber to a factory interface, or to connect two transfer chambers. When the load lock chamber is between adjacent transfer chambers, the load lock chamber has slit valve doors within the load lock chamber which seal against an inside surface of the load lock chamber. The load lock can thus be serviced at atmospheric pressure without breaking vacuum in the transfer chambers because the atmospheric pressure presses the doors against the inside surface. When the load lock chamber is between a transfer chamber and a factory interface, one slit valve door is disposed outside of the load lock chamber and seals against an outside surface of the load lock chamber. The atmospheric pressure from the factory interface side helps press the door against the outside surface.
