    摘要: A plasma processing method is provided. The method includes receiving a substrate in a substrate support that is configured to be movable along a linear path. The method includes providing at least one process gas into a plasma microchamber. The plasma microchamber is disposed in a processing head having a length that is at least longer than a diameter of the substrate, and said length is perpendicular to said linear path. The method includes generating a plasma in the plasma microchamber by applying power to the plasma microchamber and applying a bias power to the substrate support. The plasma microchamber has an open side process area that is oriented and directed over a surface to be processed, and the open side process area is less than an area of the surface to be processed. The method includes translating said substrate support along said linear path while said microchamber generates the plasma in the plasma microchamber for exposing said plasma over the substrate. The translating of said substrate support along the linear path while generating said plasma via said microchamber provides for exposing said plasma across the substrate. The plasma is used for either depositing or etching a material.

    摘要: A semiconductor substrate processing system includes a chamber that includes a processing region and a substrate support. The system includes a top plate assembly disposed within the chamber above the substrate support. The top plate assembly includes first and second sets of plasma microchambers each formed into the lower surface of the top plate assembly. A first network of gas supply channels are formed through the top plate assembly to flow a first process gas to the first set of plasma microchambers to be transformed into a first plasma. A set of exhaust channels are formed through the top plate assembly. The second set of plasma microchambers are formed inside the set of exhaust channels. A second network of gas supply channels are formed through the top plate assembly to flow a second process gas to the second set of plasma microchambers to be transformed into a second plasma.
