Abstract:
A substrate processing system has a housing that defines a process chamber, a gas-delivery system, a high-density plasma generating system, a substrate holder, and a controller. The housing includes a sidewall (412) and a dome (432, 436) positioned above the sidewall. The dome has physically separated and noncontiguous pieces (432, 43S). The gas-delivery system introduces e a gas into the process chamber through side nozzles (414, 416) positioned between two of the physically separated and noncontiguous pieces of the dome. The high-density plasma generating system (420, 424) is operatively coupled with the process chamber. The substrate holder (408) is disposed within the process chamber and supports a substrate (404) during substrate processing. The controller controls the gas-delivery system and the high-density plasma generating system.
