    摘要: In a physical vapor deposition plasma reactor, a multi-frequency impedance controller is coupled between RF ground and one of (a) the bias electrode, (b) the sputter target, the controller providing adjustable impedances at a first set of frequencies, said first set of frequencies including a first set of frequencies to be blocked and a first set of frequencies to be admitted. The first multi-frequency impedance controller includes a set of band pass filters connected in parallel and tuned to said first set of frequencies to be admitted, and a set of notch filters connected in series and tuned to said first set of frequencies to be blocked.

    摘要: The present invention generally includes a sputtering target assembly that may be used in an RF sputtering process. The sputtering target assembly may include a backing plate and a sputtering target. The backing plate may be shaped to have one or more fins that extend from the backing plate towards the sputtering target. The sputtering target may be bonded to the fins of the backing plate. The RF current utilized during a sputtering process will be applied to the sputtering target at the one or more fin locations. The fins may extend from the backing plate at a location that corresponds to a magnetic field produced by a magnetron that may be disposed behind the backing plate. By controlling the location where the RF current is coupled to the sputtering target to be aligned with the magnetic field, the erosion of the sputtering target may be controlled.
