    摘要: Embodiments of the invention relate generally to an ultraviolet (UV) cure chamber for curing a dielectric material disposed on a substrate and to methods of curing dielectric materials using UV radiation. A substrate processing tool according to one embodiment comprises a body defining a substrate processing region; a substrate support adapted to support a substrate within the substrate processing region; an ultraviolet radiation lamp spaced apart from the substrate support, the lamp configured to transmit ultraviolet radiation to a substrate positioned on the substrate support; and a motor operatively coupled to rotate at least one of the ultraviolet radiation lamp or substrate support at least 180 degrees relative to each other. The substrate processing tool may further comprise one or more reflectors adapted to generate a flood pattern of ultraviolet radiation over the substrate that has complementary high and low intensity areas which combine to generate a substantially uniform irradiance pattern if rotated. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

    摘要: A filter for filtering a fluid in a substrate processing apparatus comprises first and second stages that are connected to one another. A delivery system provides a vaporized liquid to the filter. The first stage of the filter comprises a basic compound, and the second stage of the filter comprises a desiccant. A second filter comprises a permeation filter with permeable membrane to filter the fluid. Methods of filtering the fluid to reduce formation of undesirable process residues using the filter(s) are also described.
