    摘要: Methods and apparatus for forming nitrogen-containing layers are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method of forming a nitrogen-containing layer may include placing a substrate having a first layer disposed thereon on a substrate support of a process chamber; heating the substrate to a temperature of at least about 250 degrees Celsius; and exposing the first layer to a radio frequency (RF) plasma formed from a process gas consisting essentially of ammonia (NH3) and an inert gas while maintaining the process chamber at a pressure of about 10 mTorr to about 40 mTorr to transform at least an upper portion of the first layer into a nitrogen-containing layer.

    摘要: An apparatus for forming a magnetic pattern in a magnetic storage substrate. A chamber comprises a chamber wall that defines an internal volume, a substrate support in the internal volume of the chamber, a gas distributor disposed in a wall region of the chamber facing the substrate support, a compact energy source for ionizing a portion of the process gas provided to the chamber, and a throttle valve having a z-actuated gate member with a sealing surface for covering an outlet portal of the chamber. Ions are accelerated toward the substrate support by an electrical bias, amplifying the ion density of the process gas. A substrate disposed on the substrate support is bombarded by the ions to alter a magnetic property of the substrate surface.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for plasma processing of substrates is provided. A processing chamber has a substrate support and a lid assembly facing the substrate support. The lid assembly has a plasma source that comprises an inductive coil disposed within a conductive plate, which may comprise nested conductive rings. The inductive coil is substantially coplanar with the conductive plate, and insulated therefrom by an insulator that fits within a channel formed in the conductive plate, or nests within the conductive rings. A field concentrator is provided around the inductive coil, and insulated therefrom by isolators. The plasma source is supported from a conductive support plate. A gas distributor supplies gas to the chamber through a central opening of the support plate and plasma source from a conduit disposed through the conductive plate.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for processing multiple substrates simultaneously is provided. Each substrate may have two major active surfaces to be processed. The apparatus has a substrate handling module and a substrate processing module. The substrate handling module has a loader assembly, a flipper assembly, and a factory interface. Substrates are disposed on a substrate carrier at the loader assembly. The flipper assembly is used to flip all the substrates on a substrate carrier in the event two-sided processing is required. The factory interface positions substrate carriers holding substrates for entry into and exit from the substrate processing module. The substrate processing module comprises a load-lock, a transfer chamber, and a plurality of processing chambers, each configured to process multiple substrates disposed on a substrate carrier.
