Abstract: A gas distribution structure for supplying reactant gases and purge gases to independent process cells to deposit thin films on separate regions of a substrate is described. Each process cell has an associated ring purge and exhaust manifold to prevent reactive gases from forming deposits on the surface of the wafer between the isolated regions. Each process cell has an associated showerhead for conveying the reactive gases to the substrate. The showerheads can be independently rotated to simulate the rotation parameter for the deposition process.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for etching photomasks is provided herein. In one embodiment, a method for etching a photomask includes placing a reticle upon a pedestal of a processing chamber, forming a plasma from a process gas, preferentially allowing neutrally charged radicals to pass through the plate relative to ions present in the plasma and etching a layer disposed on the reticle. In another embodiment, an apparatus for etching a photomask includes a process chamber having a substrate support pedestal disposed therein that is adapted to receive a photomask reticle thereon. An RF power source is provided for forming a plasma within a processing volume of the chamber. A plate having a plurality of holes formed therein is supported in the processing volume in an orientation substantially parallel to and a spaced apart from both the substrate support pedestal and a lid of the processing chamber.
