摘要:
An electrostatic chuck configured for high temperature reduced-pressure processing is described. The electrostatic chuck comprises a chuck body having an electrostatic clamp electrode and an optional heating element, and a heat sink body having a heat transfer surface spaced in close relationship with an inner surface of the chuck body, wherein the heat sink body is configured to remove heat from the chuck body due to the close proximity of the inner surface and the heat transfer surface. The electrostatic chuck further comprises a table assembly configured to support the chuck body and the heat sink body, and an expansion joint disposed between the chuck body and the table assembly, and configured to sealably join the chuck body to the table assembly while accommodating for differential thermal expansion of the chuck body and the table assembly.

An IPVD source assembly and method is provided for supplying and ionizing material for coating a semiconductor wafer. The assembly includes a process space containing a plasma and an electrostatic chuck moveable in to and out of the process space. The chuck is configured to support the semiconductor wafer. The assembly further includes a first shield in electrical communication with a table and a second shield. The first shield is configured to shield at least a portion of the electrostatic chuck when the chuck is in the process space and the second shield is configured to shield at least a portion of a space below the electrostatic chuck and the process space. A conducting element electrically connects the second shield to the table to substantially prevent a formation of a second plasma in the space below the electrostatic chuck and the process space.

A mounting table structure includes a mounting table body, made of a conductive material, for mounting thereon the processing target object and serving as an electrode; a base table, made of a conductive material, disposed below the mounting table body with a gap therebetween in a state insulated from the mounting table body; a support column, connected to the ground side, for supporting the base table; a high frequency power supply line, connected to the mounting table body, for supplying a high frequency bias power to the mounting table body; and a power stabilization capacitor provided between the ground side and a hot side to which the high frequency bias power is applied. Here, an electrostatic capacitance of the power stabilization capacitor is set to be larger than an electrostatic capacitance of a stray capacitance between the mounting table body and the protective cover member.

A method, computer readable medium, and system for vapor deposition on a substrate that maintain a first assembly of the vapor deposition system at a first temperature, maintain a second assembly of the vapor deposition system at a reduced temperature lower than the first temperature, dispose the substrate in a process space of the first assembly that is vacuum isolated from a transfer space in the second assembly, and deposit a material on the substrate. As such, the system includes a first assembly having a process space configured to facilitate material deposition, a second assembly coupled to the first assembly and having a transfer space to facilitate transfer of the substrate into and out of the deposition system, a substrate stage connected to the second assembly and configured to support the substrate, and a sealing assembly configured to separate the process space from the transfer space. The first assembly is configured to be maintained at a first temperature and the second assembly is configured to be maintained at a reduced temperature lower than the first temperature.

摘要:
A method, computer readable medium, and system for vapor deposition on a substrate that disposes a substrate in a process space of a processing system that is vacuum isolated from a transfer space of the processing system, processes the substrate at either of a first position or a second position in the process space while maintaining vacuum isolation from the transfer space, and deposits a material on said substrate at either the first position or the second position. As such, the system includes a first assembly having a process space configured to facilitate material deposition, a second assembly coupled to the first assembly and having a transfer space to facilitate transfer of the substrate into and out of the deposition system, a substrate stage connected to the second assembly and configured to support and translate the substrate between a first position in the transfer space to a second position in the process space. The system includes a sealing assembly configured to impede gas flow between the process space and the transfer space during translation of the substrate within the process space.

A film forming method includes depositing a metal thin film on a target substrate by generating an inductively coupled plasma in a processing chamber while introducing a plasma generating gas in the processing chamber with the substrate disposed on a placing table, by supplying DC power to a metal target from a DC power source, and by applying high-frequency bias to the placing table. A resputtering method includes resputtering the deposited metal thin film by stopping the generating of the inductively coupled plasma, by stopping the power supply from the DC power source, and by applying the high-frequency bias to the placing table while introducing the plasma generating gas in the processing chamber to form a capacitively coupled plasma in the processing chamber and by attracting ions of the plasma generating gas to the target substrate where the metal thin film is deposited.
摘要:
A susceptor (16) on which a predetermined target wafer (W) is mounted, and a support table (15) for supporting the susceptor (16) are provided at generally the center in a chamber (2). A process gas supply device (4) supplies a process gas for processing the wafer (W) into the chamber (2). A first high-frequency power source (5) and a second high-frequency power source (7) generate plasma of the supplied process gas by applying predetermined high-frequency voltages respectively, and process the wafer (W). A dike (18) having a grounded conductive member (18a) is provided around the support table (15) and the susceptor (16), and the generated plasma is thereby confined in the area above the wafer (W) mounted on the susceptor (16).
