    摘要: A heating chamber assembly for heating or maintaining the temperature of at least one wafer, employs thick film heater plates stacked at an appropriate distance to form a slot between each pair of adjacent heater plate surfaces. The heating chamber assembly may be employed adjacent one or more processing chambers to form a preheat station separate from the processing chambers, or may be incorporated in the load lock of one or more such processing chambers. The thick film heater plates are more efficient and have a better response time than conventional heat plates. A chamber surrounding the stack of heater plates is pressure sealable and nay include a purge gas inlet for supply purge gas thereto under pressure. A door to the chamber opens to allow wafers to be inserted or removed and forms a pressure seal upon closing. The slots in the stack are alignable with the door for loading and unloading of wafers. The stack is mounted on a drive shaft that extends through the chamber where it interfaces with a drive that traverses the drive shaft in and out of the chamber to align various slots as desired.

    摘要: There are provided a method and apparatus for forming by chemical vapor deposition on large diameter (e.g., 300 mm) semiconductive wafers thin insulating layers of silicon oxide (SiO2) having high uniformity from rim to rim across any diameter through the centers of the wafers. Such high degree of uniformity of the layers is obtained by directing separately a first reactive gas stream and a second reactive gas stream into close proximity to an exposed surface of a wafer to a be coated by the gasses with an insulating layer, the gas streams when mixed together reacting with each other to deposit an insulating layer on a wafer; forming a whirlpool-like swirling mixture of the first and second gas streams to thoroughly mix together the gasses thereof; forming a highly uniform mixture of the reactive gasses; and promptly flowing the mixture of reactive gasses over and upon the surface of the wafer. The apparatus also provides dual wafer processing chamber cavities.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for forming nitrogen-containing layers are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method of forming a nitrogen-containing layer may include placing a substrate having a first layer disposed thereon on a substrate support of a process chamber; heating the substrate to a temperature of at least about 250 degrees Celsius; and exposing the first layer to a radio frequency (RF) plasma formed from a process gas consisting essentially of ammonia (NH3) and an inert gas while maintaining the process chamber at a pressure of about 10 mTorr to about 40 mTorr to transform at least an upper portion of the first layer into a nitrogen-containing layer.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for processing substrates are disclosed herein. The process chamber includes a chamber body, a substrate support pedestal, a pump port and a gas injection funnel. The chamber body has an inner volume and the substrate support pedestal is disposed in the inner volume of the chamber body. The pump port is coupled to the inner volume and is disposed off-center from a central axis of the substrate support pedestal. The pump port provides azimuthally non-uniform pumping proximate to a surface of the substrate support pedestal and creates localized regions of high pressure and low pressure within the inner volume during use. The gas injection funnel is disposed in a ceiling of the chamber body and opposite the substrate support pedestal. The gas injection funnel is offset from the central axis of the substrate support pedestal and is disposed in a region of low pressure.
