摘要： We have developed a method of PECVD depositing a-SiNx:H films which are useful in a TFT device as gate dielectric and passivation layers, when a series of TFT devices are arrayed over a substrate having a surface area larger than about 1 m2, which may be in the range of about 4.1 m2, and even as large as 9 m2. The a-SiNx:H films provide a uniformity of film thickness and uniformity of film properties, including chemical composition, which are necessary over such large substrate surface areas. The films produced by the method are useful for both liquid crystal active matrix displays and for organic light emitting diode control.

摘要： We have a method of improving the deposition rate uniformity of the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of films when a number of substrates are processed in series, sequentially in a deposition chamber. The method includes the plasma pre-heating of at least one processing volume structure within the processing volume which surrounds the substrate when the substrate is present in the deposition chamber. We also have a device-controlled method which adjusts the deposition time for a few substrates at the beginning of the processing of a number of substrates in series, sequentially in a deposition chamber, so that the deposited film thickness remains essentially constant during processing of the series of substrates. A combination of these methods into a single method provides the best overall results in terms of controlling average film thickness from substrate to substrate.

摘要： The present invention generally includes a coupling between components. When igniting a plasma remote from a processing chamber, the reactive gas ions may travel to the processing chamber through numerous components. The reactive gas ions may be quite hot and cause the various components to become very hot and thus, the seals between apparatus components may fail. Therefore, it may be beneficial to cool any metallic components through which the reactive gas ions may travel. However, at the interface between the cooled metallic component and a ceramic component, the ceramic component may experience a temperature gradient sufficient to crack the ceramic material due to the heat of the reactive gas ions and the coolness of the metallic component. Therefore, extending a flange of the metallic component into the ceramic component may lessen the temperature gradient at the interface and reduce cracking of the ceramic component.

摘要翻译： 本发明通常包括组件之间的联接。 当点燃离开处理室的等离子体时，反应气体离子可通过许多部件行进到处理室。 反应气体离子可能相当热，并导致各种部件变得非常热，因此，装置部件之间的密封可能失效。 因此，冷却反应气体离子可以通过其移动的任何金属组分可能是有益的。 然而，在冷却的金属组分和陶瓷组分之间的界面处，由于反应气体离子的热量和金属组分的冷却，陶瓷组分可能经历足以破坏陶瓷材料的温度梯度。 因此，将金属部件的凸缘延伸到陶瓷部件中可以减小界面处的温度梯度并减少陶瓷部件的开裂。
