摘要:
Embodiments of an apparatus for sealing a substrate transfer passage in a chamber are provided. In one embodiment, an apparatus for sealing a substrate transfer passage in a chamber includes an elongated door member coupled to an actuator by a ball joint. The ball joint is configured to allow movement of the door member relative to the lever arm around a center of the ball joint. In one embodiment, a sealing face of the elongated door is curved. In another embodiment, the chamber is one of a chemical vapor deposition chamber, a load lock chamber, a metrology chamber, a thermal processing chamber, or a physical vapor disposition chamber, a load lock chamber, a substrate transfer chamber or a vacuum chamber.

Provided are a method of generating plasma and a method of fabricating a semiconductor device including the method, which may improve selectivity in an etching process and minimize damage to layers. The method of generating plasma includes generating first plasma by supplying at least one first process gas into a first remote plasma source (RPS) and applying first energy having a first power at a first duty ratio, and generating second plasma by supplying at least one second process gas into a second RPS and applying second energy having a second power at a second duty ratio.
摘要:
An electrical ground (36) of an RF impedance matching network (33) is connected to a connection area (50) on the grounded chamber cover (18) of a plasma chamber. The connection area is offset away from the center of the chamber cover toward a workpiece passageway (20). Alternatively, an RF power supply (30) has an electrically grounded output (32) that is connected to a connection area (52) on the chamber cover having such offset. Alternatively, an RF transmission line (37) has an electrically grounded conductor (39) that is connected between a grounded output of an RF power supply and a connection area (52) on the chamber cover having such offset.
