    摘要: In a plasma processing chamber, a method for processing a substrate is provided. The method includes supporting the substrate in the plasma processing chamber configured with an upper electrode (UE) and a lower electrode (LE), configuring at least one radio frequency power source to ignite plasma between the UE and the LE, and providing a conductive coupling ring, the conductive coupling ring is coupled to the LE to provide a conductive path. The method further includes providing a plasma-facing-substrate-periphery (PFSP) ring, the PFSP ring being disposed above the conductive coupling ring. The method yet further includes coupling the PFSP ring to at least one of a direct current (DC) ground through an RF filter, the DC ground through the RF filter and a variable resistor, a positive DC power source through the RF filter, and a negative DC power source through the RF filter to control plasma processing parameters.

    摘要: In a wafer processing system having an electrode, an electrostatic chuck (ESC) and a confinement chamber portion, the ESC is established to be RF-floating, whereas a confinement chamber portion is grounded during a pre-coating process. Accordingly, the confinement chamber portion and the upper electrode are selectively targeted for pre-coating material deposition. As such, the amount of pre-coating material that is deposited onto the ESC is greatly reduced over that of conventional systems. Therefore, less time, energy and material are needed to remove pre-coating material from the ESC during a wafer auto clean (WAC) process. Further, the upper electrode is established to be RF-floating, whereas the confinement chamber portion is grounded during a WAC process. As such, the cleaning material is selectively targeted toward the confinement hardware portion of the chamber. Therefore, the upper electrode is subjected to less wear during a WAC process.
