摘要: An ion implanter and a method for reducing particle formation in a process chamber are disclosed. The ion implanter includes one or more gas sources in communication with the process chamber to introduce an oxygen-containing gas. After certain criteria has been met, a gas treatment process is initiated. This criteria may be related to the number of workpieces that have been processed or based on the number of particles detected in the process chamber. During the gas treatment process, the oxygen-containing gas is introduced and interacts with depositions disposed on the walls of the process chamber to transform the brittle film into a softer more pliable film that may be less susceptible to breaking. In some embodiments, the oxygen-containing gas may be oxygen gas, ozone or oxygen radicals which are introduced to the process chambers. In some embodiments, water vapor is introduced.

摘要: A high-frequency power supply apparatus includes a first power supply, a second power supply, a matching circuit, and a low-pass filter. The first power supply outputs a high-frequency voltage with a first fundamental frequency toward a load. The second power supply outputs, toward the load, a negative polarity voltage with a second fundamental frequency lower than the first fundamental frequency. The matching circuit is connected between the first power supply and the load. The matching circuit matches impedance on a side of the first power supply and impedance on a side of the load. The low-pass filter is connected between the second power supply and the load. The first power supply performs frequency modulation control by: performing frequency-modulation on the high-frequency voltage with a trapezoidal modulation signal whose frequency is equal to the second fundamental frequency, and outputting a modulated wave obtained by the frequency-modulation on the high-frequency voltage.

摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to methods for etching materials. In one or more embodiments, the method includes positioning a substrate in a process volume of a process chamber, where the substrate includes a metallic ruthenium layer disposed thereon, and exposing the metallic ruthenium layer to an oxygen plasma to produce a solid ruthenium oxide on the metallic ruthenium layer and a gaseous ruthenium oxide within the process volume. The method also includes exposing the solid ruthenium oxide to a secondary plasma to convert the solid ruthenium oxide to either metallic ruthenium or a ruthenium oxychloride compound. The metallic ruthenium is in a solid state on the metallic ruthenium layer or the ruthenium oxychloride compound is in a gaseous state within the process volume.
