摘要： Variable reactances in an impedance-matching box for an RF coil, in a plasma deposition system for depositing a film of sputtered target material on a substrate, can be varied by rotating inductor cores during the deposition process so that the RF coil and substrate heating, and the film deposition, are more uniform due to “time-averaging” of the RF voltage distributions along the RF coil.

摘要： The present invention provides a method and apparatus for achieving conformal step coverage of one or more materials on a substrate using sputtered ionized material. A target provides a source of material to be sputtered by a plasma and then ionized by an inductive coil, thereby producing electrons and ions. In one embodiment, one or both of the signals to the substrate and the target are modulated. Preferably, the modulated signal to the substrate includes a negative voltage portion and a zero voltage portion.

摘要： A method and apparatus that operates at a high pressure of at least one torr for improving sidewall coverage within trenches and vias in a substrate. The apparatus comprises a chamber enclosing a target and a pedestal, a process gas that provides a process gas in the chamber, a pump for maintaining the high pressure of at least about one torr in the chamber and a power source coupled to the target. Additionally, the distance between the target and the substrate is set to ensure that collisions between the sputtered particles and the plasma occur in the trenches and vias on the substrate. The method comprises the steps of providing a process gas into the chamber such that the gas pressure is at least about one torr, generating a plasma from the process gas, and sputtering material from the target.

摘要： Apparatus for supporting a substrate such as a semiconductor wafer in a process chamber to improve power coupling through the substrate. The apparatus contains a pedestal assembly and a pedestal cover positioned over the top surface of and circumscribing the pedestal assembly for electrically isolating the pedestal assembly. The pedestal cover reduces conductive film growth in the wafer process region. As such, RF wafer biasing power from the pedestal assembly remains coupled through the substrate during processing.

摘要： A magnetron assembly including one or more magnetrons each forming a closed plasma loop on the sputtering face of the target. The target may include multiple strip targets on which respective strip magnetrons roll and are partially supported on a common support plate through a spring mechanism. The strip magnetron may be a two-level folded magnetron in which each magnetron forms a folded plasma loop extending between lateral sides of the strip target and its ends meet in the middle of the target. The magnets forming the magnetron may be arranged in a pattern having generally uniform straight portions joined by curved portion in which extra magnet positions are available near the corners to steer the plasma track. Multiple magnetrons, possibly flexible, may be resiliently supported on a scanned support plate and individually partially supported by rollers on the back of one or more targets.
