    摘要: The present invention generally includes a coupling between components. When igniting a plasma remote from a processing chamber, the reactive gas ions may travel to the processing chamber through numerous components. The reactive gas ions may be quite hot and cause the various components to become very hot and thus, the seals between apparatus components may fail. Therefore, it may be beneficial to cool any metallic components through which the reactive gas ions may travel. However, at the interface between the cooled metallic component and a ceramic component, the ceramic component may experience a temperature gradient sufficient to crack the ceramic material due to the heat of the reactive gas ions and the coolness of the metallic component. Therefore, extending a flange of the metallic component into the ceramic component may lessen the temperature gradient at the interface and reduce cracking of the ceramic component.

    摘要: The present invention generally includes a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) processing chamber having an RF power source coupled to the backing plate at a location separate from the gas source. By feeding the gas into the processing chamber at a location separate from the RF power, parasitic plasma formation in the gas tubes leading to the processing chamber may be reduced. The gas may be fed to the chamber at a plurality of locations. At each location, the gas may be fed to the processing chamber from the gas source by passing through a remote plasma source as well as an RF choke or RF resistor.

    摘要: The present invention generally includes a chamber liner spaced from a chamber wall to permit processing gases to be pulled between the chamber liner and the chamber wall when withdrawing gases from the processing chamber. When the vacuum pump is below the susceptor, processing gases will be drawn below the susceptor and may lead to undesired deposition onto process chamber components. Additionally, the processing gases will be pulled past the slit valve opening and potentially deposit within the slit valve opening. When material deposits in the slit valve opening, flaking may occur and contaminate the substrates. By drawing the processing gases along the sidewalls other than the one having the slit valve opening therethrough, undesired deposition on the slit valve opening may be reduced.

    摘要: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to an apparatus having an anodized gas distribution showerhead. In large area, parallel plate RF processing chambers, mastering the RF return path can be challenging. Arcing is a frequent problem encountered in RF processing chambers. To reduce arcing in RF processing chambers, straps may be coupled to the susceptor to shorten the RF return path, a ceramic or insulating or anodized shadow frame may be coupled to the susceptor during processing, and an anodized coating may be deposited onto the edge of the showerhead that is nearest the chamber walls. The anodized coating may reduce arcing between the showerhead and the chamber walls and therefore enhance film properties and increase deposition rate.

    摘要: The present invention generally comprises a method and an apparatus for guiding the flow of processing gases away from chamber walls and slit valve opening. By controlling the flow path of the process gases within a processing chamber, undesirable deposition upon chamber walls and within slit valve openings may be reduced. By reducing deposition in slit valve openings, flaking may be reduced. By reducing deposition on chamber walls, the time between chamber cleaning may be increased. Thus, guiding the flow of processing gases within the processing chamber may increase substrate throughput.
