    摘要: Broadly speaking, the present invention fills these needs by providing an improved chamber cleaning mechanism. The present invention can also be used to provide additional knobs to tune the etch processes. In one embodiment, a plasma processing chamber configured to generate a plasma includes a bottom electrode assembly with an bottom electrode, wherein the bottom electrode is configured to receive a substrate. The plasma processing chamber includes a top electrode assembly with a top electrode and an inductive coil surrounding the top electrode. The inductive coil is configured to convert a gas into a plasma within a region defined within the chamber, wherein the region is outside an area defined above a top surface of the bottom electrode.

    摘要: A method for etching a high aspect ratio feature through a mask into a layer to be etched over a substrate is provided. The substrate is placed in a process chamber, which is able to provide RF power at a first frequency, a second frequency different than the first frequency, and a third frequency different than the first and second frequency. An etchant gas is provided to the process chamber. A first etch step is provided, where the first frequency, the second frequency, and the third frequency are at power settings for the first etch step. A second etch step is provided, where the first frequency, the second frequency, and the third frequency are at a different power setting.
