    摘要: An isolator for heat transfer gas conduits of an electrostatic chuck is described. The isolator includes a sleeve and a body positioned in the sleeve to form an annulus between the body and sleeve that allows for flow of the heat transfer gas. The body is positioned against the puck of the chuck, and may be supported in this position by a spring. A silicon seal may be provided between the sleeve and the puck to prevent plasma from forming in the conduits.

    摘要: An electrostatic chuck includes an angled conduit, or an angled laser drilled passage, through which a heat transfer gas is provided. A segment of the angled conduit and/or the angled laser drilled passage extends along an axis different from an axis of the electric field generated to hold a substrate to the chuck, thereby minimizing plasma arcing and backside gas ionization. A first plug may be inserted into the conduit, wherein a segment of a first exterior channel thereof extends along an axis different from an axis of the electric field. A first and second plug may be inserted into a ceramic sleeve which extends through at least one of the dielectric member and the electrode. Finally, the surface of the dielectric member may comprise embossments arranged at radial distances from the center of the dielectric member so as to improve heat transfer and gas distribution.

    摘要: In accordance with a first aspect of the invention, a plasma reactor having a chamber for containing a plasma and a passageway communicating with the chamber is enhanced with a first removable plasma confinement magnet module placed adjacent the passageway including a first module housing and a first plasma confinement magnet inside the housing. It may further include a second removable plasma confinement magnet module placed adjacent the passageway including a second module housing, and a second plasma confinement magnet. Preferably, the first and second modules are located on opposite sides of the passageway. Moreover, the first and second plasma confinement magnets have magnetic orientations which tend to oppose plasma transport or leakage through the passageway. Preferably, the module housing includes a relatively non-magnetic thermal conductor such as aluminum and is in thermal contact with said chamber body. Cooling apparatus can be thermally coupled to the chamber body, whereby to maintain the first plasma confinement magnet below its Curie temperature. If the reactor includes a pumping annulus adjacent of a periphery of the chamber, then the passageway can be one which communicates between the chamber and the pumping annulus. Also, the passageway can be a wafer slit valve or a gas feed inlet. Such a gas feed inlet can be a center gas feed through a ceiling of the chamber. The module housing can rest upon the chamber side wall and the chamber ceiling can rest upon the module housing.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for generating and controlling a plasma in a semiconductor substrate processing chamber using a dual frequency RF source is provided. The method includes the steps of supplying a first RF signal from the source to an electrode within the processing chamber at a first frequency and supplying a second RF signal from the source to the electrode within the processing chamber at a second frequency. The second frequency is different from the first frequency by an amount equal to a desired frequency. Characteristics of a plasma formed in the chamber establish a sheath modulation at the desired frequency.
