Embodiments of the present invention generally provide chamber components with enhanced thermal properties and methods of enhancing thermal properties of chamber components including bonding materials. One embodiment of the present invention provides a method for fabricating a composite structure. The method includes applying a bonding material to a first component, and converting the bonding material applied to the first component to an enhanced bonding layer by heating the bonding material to outgas volatile species from the bonding material. The outgassed volatile species accumulates to at least 0.05% in mass of the bonding material. The method further includes contacting a second component and the enhanced bonding layer to join the first and second components.

Described herein are exemplary methods and apparatuses for fabricating a gas distribution showerhead assembly in accordance with one embodiment. In one embodiment, a method includes providing a gas distribution plate having a first set of through-holes for delivering processing gases into a semiconductor processing chamber. The first set of through-holes is located on a backside of the plate (e.g., Aluminum substrate). The method includes spraying (e.g., plasma spraying) a coating material (e.g., Ytrria based material) onto a cleaned surface of the gas distribution plate. The method includes removing (e.g., surface grinding) a portion of the coating material from the surface to reduce a thickness of the coating material. The method includes forming (e.g., UV laser drilling, machining) a second set of through-holes in the coating material such that the through-holes are aligned with the first-set of through-holes.

A method and an apparatus for removing polymer from a substrate are provided. In one embodiment, an apparatus utilized to remove polymer from a substrate includes a processing chamber having a chamber wall and a chamber lid defining a process volume, a substrate support assembly disposed in the processing chamber, and a remote plasma source coupled to the processing chamber through an outlet port formed within the chamber wall, the outlet port having an opening pointing toward an periphery region of a substrate disposed on the substrate support assembly, wherein the remote plasma source is fabricated from a material resistant to hydrogen species.

A method of fabricating silicon parts are provided herein. The method includes growing a silicon sample, machining the sample to form a part, and annealing the part by exposing the part sequentially to one or more gases. Process conditions during silicon growth and post-machining anneal are designed to provide silicon parts that are particularly suited for use in corrosive environments.

A method of fabricating yttria parts is provided herein. In one embodiment, the method includes sintering a yttria sample, machining the sintered sample to form a part, and annealing the part by heating the part at a predetermined heating rate, maintaining the part at a constant annealing temperature, and cooling the part at a predetermined cooling rate. At least one of the sintering and annealing atmospheres is an oxygen-containing atmosphere.
摘要:
A process kit is described that resists plasma erosion, preserves the spatial uniformity of plasma properties, reduces particle generation in the chamber, and significantly enhances the lifetime of the process kit. A layer of polymer material covers the top surface of the process kit. The polymer material is fluorocarbon-based and not reactive with the species in the plasma. The polymer material not only protects the process kit from progressive erosion, but also prevents the generation of particles in the chamber. The polymer material has similar permittivity to that of the process kit and therefore maintains the spatial uniformity of plasma properties, e.g., etch rate, near the wafer perimeter. The thickness of the layer is controlled between 0.5 and 1.5 mm such that the difference between its coefficient of thermal expansion and that of the process kit will not cause the layer to peel off the process kit's top surface.

Disclosed herein is a gas distribution plate for use in a gas distribution assembly for a processing chamber, where the gas distribution plate is fabricated from a solid yttrium oxide-comprising substrate, which may also include aluminum oxide. The gas distribution plate includes a plurality of through-holes, which are typically crescent-shaped. Through-holes which have been formed in the solid yttrium oxide-comprising substrate by ultrasonic drilling perform particularly well. The solid yttrium oxide-comprising substrate typically comprises at least 99.9% yttrium oxide, and has a density of at least 4.92 g/cm3, a water absorbency of about 0.02% or less, and an average grain size within the range of about 10 μm to about 25 μm. Also disclosed herein are methods for fabricating and cleaning the yttrium oxide-comprising gas distribution plate.

摘要:
An electrostatic chuck has an electrode embedded in a dielectric which is mounted on a pedestal. The dielectric has a contact surface with an average surface roughness of less than about 0.5 μm, a surface peak waviness of less than about 0.12 μm, and a surface peak waviness material ratio of greater than about 20%. The surface texture can be formed by lapping the dielectric surface with a slurry of abrasive particles.
