    摘要: Apparatus providing a low impedance RF return current path between a shield member and a pedestal in a semiconductor wafer processing chamber. The return path reduces RF voltage drop between the shield member and the pedestal during processing. The return path comprises a conductive strap connected to the pedestal and a conductive bar attached to the strap. A toroidal spring makes multiple parallel electrical connections between the conductive bar and the shield member. A support assembly, attached to a collar on the chamber wall, supports the conductive bar.

    摘要: A plasma cleaning method particularly useful for removing photoresist and oxide residue from a porous low-k dielectric with a high carbon content prior to sputter deposition. A remote plasma source produces a plasma primarily of hydrogen radicals. The hydrogen pressure may be kept relatively low, for example, at 30 milliTorr. Optionally, helium may be added to the processing gas with the hydrogen partial pressure held below 150 milliTorr. Superior results are obtained with 70% helium in 400 milliTorr of hydrogen and helium. Preferably, an ion filter, such as a magnetic filter, removes hydrogen and other ions from the output of the remote plasma source and a supply tube from the remote plasma source includes a removable dielectric liner in combination with dielectric showerhead and manifold liner.
