    摘要: A chamber 30 for processing a substrate 25 comprises a support 55 including an electrode 70 at least partially covered by a dielectric 60 that is permeable to electromagnetic energy. The electrode 70 may be chargeable to electrostatically hold the substrate 25, to couple energy to a gas in the chamber 30, or both. A base 90 below the support 55 comprises a slot 95 that may be adapted to serve as a thermal expansion slot to reduce thermal stresses.

    摘要: An electrical coupler comprises an inner connector having upper and lower ends, an insulative outer connector element circumscribing the inner connector, and a thermally conductive flange disposed over the upper end of the inner connector and the outer connector for conducting heat from the electrical conductor. The electrical conductor may be utilized in a substrate support for semiconductor wafer processing. The substrate support comprises a chuck body having an electrode embedded therein, and an upper male connector coupled to the electrode and protruding from said chuck body. A cooling plate having the electrical coupler is positioned proximate to the chuck body. The upper male connector is inserted in the electrical coupler, and a power source coupled to the lower portion of the electrical coupler chucks and biases a wafer to an upper surface of said chuck. The thermally conductive flange conducts and transfers heat generated from the upper male connector and electrical coupler to the cooling plate.

    摘要: A substrate processing chamber has a substrate support to support a substrate, and an exhaust conduit about the substrate support. A first process gas distributor directs a first process gas, such as a non-reactive gas, about the substrate perimeter and toward the exhaust conduit at a first flow rate to form a curtain of non-reactive gas about the substrate. A second process gas distributor directs a second process gas, such as reactive CVD or etchant gas, toward a central portion of the substrate at a second flow rate which is lower than the first flow rate. A gas energizer energizes the first and second process gases in the chamber. A controller operates the substrate support, gas flow meters, gas energizer, and throttle valve, to process the substrate in the energized gas.
