    摘要: An electrostatic chuck in a reactor chamber has a cathode electrode insulated from ground, a chucking electrode insulated from the cathode electrode and a dielectric layer overlying the chucking electrode that provides a workpiece support surface. A D.C. chucking voltage supply is coupled to the chucking electrode. An RF power generator is coupled to the cathode electrode. A voltage sensing apparatus is coupled to the chucking electrode and to the cathode electrode to monitor the voltage difference between them during discharge after removal of RF and DC power at the conclusion of processing. The reactor includes a controller programmed to raise the lift pins during electrode discharge as soon as the voltage sensing apparatus detects equal voltages simultaneously on the chucking and cathode electrodes.

    摘要: A process chamber 110 capable of processing a substrate 30 in a plasma of process gas. The chamber 110 comprises a support 200 having a dielectric 210 covering an electrode 220 and a conductor 230 below the electrode 220. A voltage supply 180 supplies a gas energizing voltage to the conductor 220, and the conductor is adapted to capacitively couple the voltage to the electrode 220 to energize the process gas. Alternatively, the voltage may be supplied to the electrode 220 through a connector 195 which can capacitively couple with the conductor 230. A DC power supply 190 may also provide an electrostatic chucking voltage to the electrode 220. In one version, the conductor 230 comprises an interposer 280.

    摘要: A chuck 28 for holding a substrate 4 comprises a surface 27 capable of receiving the substrate 4, the surface 27 having a gas inlet port 40 and a gas exhaust port 42. A non-sealing protrusion is between the gas inlet port 40 and the gas exhaust port 42. The non-sealing protrusion 44 impedes the flow of heat transfer gas between the gas inlet port 40 and the gas exhaust port 42 without blocking the flow of heat transfer gas. Preferably, a sealing protrusion 46 is provided around the periphery of the chuck 28 to form a substantially gas-tight seal with the substrate 4 to enclose and prevent leakage of heat transfer gas into a surrounding chamber 6.
