摘要: In one aspect, the present invention provides a method of managing fluctuations in power supplied to a semiconductor processing apparatus that includes monitoring the power supplied to the apparatus to detect the occurrence of a power fluctuation event during a semiconductor processing session. Upon detection of a power fluctuation event, the semiconductor processing can be interrupted. After the end of the power fluctuation event, at least one operational parameter of the apparatus, e.g., vacuum level in an evacuated processing chamber, can be measured, and the semiconductor processing can be resumed when the measured operational parameter is within an acceptable range. The measured operational parameter can preferably include a parameter that recovers more slowly than others when adversely affected by a power fluctuation event.

摘要: An electrostatic clamp which more effectively removes built up charge from a substrate prior to removal is disclosed. Currently, the lift pins and the ground pins are the only mechanism used to remove charge from the substrate after implantation. The present discloses describes an electrostatic chuck in which the top dielectric surface has an embedded conductive region, such as a ring shaped conductive region in the sealing ring. Thus, regardless of the orientation of the substrate during release, at least a portion of the substrate will contain the conductive region on the dielectric layer of the workpiece support. This conductive region may be connected to ground through the use of conductive vias in the dielectric layer. In some embodiments, these conductive vias are the fluid conduits used to supply gas to the back side of the substrate.

摘要: A method of implanting ions into a workpiece without the formation of junctions, which impact the performance of the workpiece, is disclosed. To counteract the effect of dopant being implanted into the edge of the workpiece, components made of material having an opposite conductivity are placed near the workpiece. As ions from the beam strike these components, ions from the material are sputtered. These ions have the opposite conductivity as the implanted ions, and therefore inhibit the formation of junctions.
