    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide electrostatic chucks for operating at elevated temperatures. One embodiment of the present invention provides a dielectric chuck body for an electrostatic chuck. The dielectric chuck body includes a substrate supporting plate having a top surface for receiving a substrate and a back surface opposing the top surface, an electrode embedded in the substrate supporting plate, and a shaft having a first end attached to the back surface of the substrate supporting plate and a second end opposing the first end. The second end is configured to contact a cooling base and provide temperature control to the substrate supporting plate. The shaft is hollow having a sidewall enclosing a central opening, and two or more channels formed through the sidewall and extending from the first end to the second end.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention generally provide a plasma source apparatus, and method of using the same, that is able to generate radicals and/or gas ions in a plasma generation region that is symmetrically positioned around a magnetic core element by use of an electromagnetic energy source. In general, the orientation and shape of the plasma generation region and magnetic core allows for the effective and uniform coupling of the delivered electromagnetic energy to a gas disposed in the plasma generation region. In general, the improved characteristics of the plasma formed in the plasma generation region is able to improve deposition, etching and/or cleaning processes performed on a substrate or a portion of a processing chamber that is disposed downstream of the plasma generation region.

    摘要: An electrostatic chuck (ESC) with a cooling base for plasma processing chambers, such as a plasma etch chamber. An ESC assembly includes a 2-stage design where a heat transfer fluid inlet (supply) and heat transfer fluid outlet (return) is in a same physical plane. The 2-stage design includes an assembly of a base upon which a ceramic (e.g., AlN) is disposed. The base is disposed over a diffuser which may have hundreds of small holes over the chuck area to provide a uniform distribution of heat transfer fluid. Affixed to the diffuser is a reservoir plate which is to provide a reservoir between the diffuser and the reservoir plate that supplies fluid to the diffuser. Heat transfer fluid returned through the diffuser is passed through the reservoir plate.

    摘要: Methods and process chambers for etching of low-k and other dielectric films are described. For example, a method includes modifying portions of the low-k dielectric layer with a plasma process. The modified portions of the low-k dielectric layer are etched selectively over a mask layer and unmodified portions of the low-k dielectric layer. Etch chambers having multiple chamber regions for alternately generating distinct plasmas are described. In embodiments, a first charge coupled plasma source is provided to generate an ion flux to a workpiece in one operational mode, while a secondary plasma source is provided to provide reactive species flux without significant ion flux to the workpiece in another operational mode. A controller operates to cycle the operational modes repeatedly over time to remove a desired cumulative amount of the dielectric material.

    摘要: Ultrathin material layers are plasma etched with an etch system configured for cryogenic cooling of a substrate to reduce the diffusion coefficients of foreign and intrinsic stop layer atoms (e.g., of the bombarded crystal lattice), and further configured for plasma pulsing to reduce the energy of the impinging ions with cryogenic wafer temperatures. Substrate temperatures of −50° C. or more are employed to reduce the susceptibility of a stop layer material to damage associated with ion impact. Ion energy is reduced to below the threshold where stop layer lattice atoms are displaced or ions are implanted into the bulk lattice. In embodiments, a plasma of an etchant gas having ion energies less than 10 eV are achieved through plasma pulsing, which when directed at the low temperature substrate may controllably etch ultra-thin material layers.
