摘要:
A substrate support comprising a top ceramic plate providing a substrate support surface for supporting a substrate during substrate processing, a substrate pedestal having coolant channels formed therein and a thermoelectric deck sandwiched between the top ceramic plate and substrate pedestal. The thermoelectric deck includes a plurality of embedded thermoelectric elements that can either heat or cool the substrate support surface.
摘要:
Systems and chambers for processing dielectric films on substrates are described. Vertical combo chambers include two separate processing chambers vertically arranged in a processing stack. A top processing chamber is configured to process the substrate at relatively low substrate temperature. A robot is configured to remove a substrate from the top processing chamber and change height before placing the substrate in a bottom processing chamber. The bottom processing chamber is configured to anneal the substrate to further process the dielectric film. The vertical stacking increases the number of processing chambers which can be included on a single processing system. The separation of the bottom (annealing or curing) chamber and the top chamber allows the top chamber to remain at a low temperature which hastens the start of a process conducted on a new wafer transferred into the top chamber. This configuration of vertical-combo chamber can be used for depositing a dielectric film in the top chamber and then curing the film in the bottom chamber. The configuration is also helpful for dielectric removal processes which create solid residue, in which case the bottom chamber is used to sublimate the solid residue. The separation limits or substantially eliminates the amount of solid residue which accumulates in the top chamber. Simultaneous processing, thermal separation and contamination control afforded by the design of the vertical combo chambers improve the throughput of a processing system.
