    Abstract: A substrate processing system includes two or more process tools including multiple process chambers to perform a corresponding substrate processing procedure and a substrate transport to transport substrates between the two or more process tools. The system further includes a control system to cause one or more first layers to be deposited on a substrate in one or more first process chambers to form a first cell of a tandem cell structure. The control system is further to cause the substrate to be transported from the one or more first process chambers to one or more second process chambers. A combination process tool includes the one or more second process chambers. The control system is further to cause one or more second layers to be deposited on the substrate in the one or more second process chambers to form a second cell of the tandem cell structure.

    Abstract: The embodiments described herein generally relate to a substrate support assembly for use in a plasma processing chamber to provide non-uniform gas flow flowing between the substrate support assembly and sidewalls of the plasma processing chamber. In one embodiment, a substrate support assembly includes a substrate support assembly including a substrate support body defining at least a first side of the substrate support body, and a corner region and a center region formed in the first side of the substrate support body, wherein the corner region has a corner width that is smaller than a center width of the center region, the widths defined between a center axis and the first side of the substrate support body.

    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: Implementations described herein generally relate to components and methods used in plasma processing, and more specifically relate to grooved surfaces for controlling RF return path lengths in plasma processing chambers and methods for forming the same. In one implementation, a backing plate for a plasma processing chamber is provided. The backing plate comprises a rectangular body. The rectangular body has a front surface, a back surface opposing the front surface, a first axis perpendicular to a center of the rectangular body and a plurality of grooves formed in the front surface. At least one groove of the plurality of grooves has a first length across the groove in a first location and a second length across the groove in a second location.
