    摘要: Aspects of the invention include a method and apparatus for processing a substrate using a multi-chamber processing system (e.g., a cluster tool) adapted to process substrates in one or more batch and/or single substrate processing chambers to increase the system throughput. In one embodiment, a system is configured to perform a substrate processing sequence that contains batch processing chambers only, or batch and single substrate processing chambers, to optimize throughput and minimize processing defects due to exposure to a contaminating environment. In one embodiment, a batch processing chamber is used to increase the system throughput by performing a process recipe step that is disproportionately long compared to other process recipe steps in the substrate processing sequence that are performed on the cluster tool. In another embodiment, two or more batch chambers are used to process multiple substrates using one or more of the disproportionately long processing steps in a processing sequence. Aspects of the invention also include an apparatus and method for delivering a precursor to a processing chamber so that a repeatable ALD or CVD deposition process can be performed.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, methods of controlling process chambers may include predetermining a relationship between pressure in a processing volume and a position of an exhaust valve as a function of a process parameter; setting the process chamber to a first state having a first pressure in the processing volume and a first value of the process parameter, wherein the exhaust valve is set to a first position based on the predetermined relationship to produce the first pressure at the first value; determining a pressure control profile to control the pressure as the process chamber is changed to a second state having a second pressure and a second process parameter value from the first state; and applying the pressure control profile to control the pressure by varying the position of the exhaust valve while changing the process chamber to the second state.

    摘要: Methods and apparatuses for dicing substrates by both laser scribing and plasma etching. A method includes laser ablating material layers, the ablating by a laser beam with a centrally peaked spatial power profile to form an ablated trench in the substrate below thin film device layers which is positively sloped. In an embodiment, a femtosecond laser forms a positively sloped ablation profile which facilitates vertically-oriented propagation of microcracks in the substrate at the ablated trench bottom. With minimal lateral runout of microcracks, a subsequent anisotropic plasma etch removes the microcracks for a cleanly singulated chip with good reliability.
