Abstract:
One embodiment of the disclosure provides a method of fabricating a chamber component with a coating layer disposed on an interface layer with desired film properties. In one embodiment, a method of fabricating a coating material includes providing a base structure comprising an aluminum or silicon containing material, forming an interface layer on the base structure, wherein the interface layer comprises one or more elements from at least one of Ta, Al, Si, Mg, Y, or combinations thereof, and forming a coating layer on the interface layer, wherein the coating layer has a molecular structure of SivYwMgxAlyOz. In another embodiment, a chamber component includes an interface layer disposed on a base structure, wherein the interface layer is selected from at least one of Ta, Al, Si, Mg, Y, or combinations thereof, and a coating layer disposed on the interface layer, wherein the coating layer has a molecular structure of SivYwMgxAlyOz.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a protective multilayer coating for process chamber components exposed to temperatures from about 20° C. to about 300° C. during use of the process chamber. The protective multilayer coating comprises a bond layer and a top layer, the bond layer is formed on a chamber component to reduce the stress between the top layer and the chamber component. The reduced stress decreases or prevents particle shedding from the top layer of the multilayer coating during and after use of the process chamber. The bond layer comprises titanium, titanium nitride, aluminum, or combinations thereof, and the top layer comprises tungsten nitride.
