    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for planar metal plating on a workpiece having a surface with recessed regions and exposed surface regions; comprising the steps of: causing a plating accelerator to become attached to said surface including the recessed and exposed surface regions; selectively removing the plating accelerator from the exposed surface regions without performing substantial metal plating on the surface; and after removal of plating accelerator is at least partially complete, plating metal onto the surface, whereby the plating accelerator remaining attached to the surface increases the rate of metal plating in the recessed regions relative to the rate of metal plating in the exposed surface regions.

    摘要: Plasma processing chambers having internal Faraday shields with defined groove configurations, are defined. In one example, the chamber includes an electrostatic chuck for receiving a substrate and a dielectric window connected to a top portion of the chamber, where the dielectric window disposed over the electrostatic chuck. Also included is a Faraday shield disposed inside of the chamber and defined between the electrostatic chuck and the dielectric window. The Faraday shield includes an inner zone having an inner radius range, a middle zone having a middle radius range, an outer zone having an outer radius range, where the inner zone is adjacent to the middle zone, and the middle zone being adjacent to the outer zone. Further defining the Faraday shield is a first set of radial slots (A) extending through the inner zone, the middle zone, and the outer zone, a second set of radial slots (C) extending through only the outer zone; and a third set of radial slots (B) extending through the middle zone and outer zone. In this configuration, the first, second and third radial slots are arranged radially around the Faraday shield in a repeating pattern of slots A, C, B, and C.

    摘要: An electrostatic chuck includes an electrically conductive baseplate and an electrically non-conductive substrate support member disposed on the baseplate. First and second sets of clamp electrodes are disposed within the support member. A power supply system includes a clamp power supply, a center tap power supply, and a baseplate power supply. The clamp power supply generates a positive output voltage and a negative output voltage, each of which is equidistant from a center tap voltage. The positive output voltage is electrically connected to the first set of clamp electrodes. The negative output voltage is electrically connected to the second set of clamp electrodes. The center tap power supply is defined to control the center tap voltage of the clamp power supply. The baseplate power supply is defined to generate a baseplate output voltage independent from the center tap voltage. The baseplate output voltage is electrically connected to the baseplate.
