    摘要: Disclosed is a ceramic sintered body comprising yttrium oxide and zirconium oxide wherein the ceramic sintered body comprises not less than 75 mol % to not greater than 95 mol % yttrium oxide and not less than 5 mol % to not greater than 25 mol % zirconium oxide, wherein the ceramic sintered body comprises porosity in an amount of less than 2% by volume, wherein a density of the ceramic sintered body does not vary by more than 2% relative to theoretical density across a greatest dimension. The ceramic sintered body has a grain size of from 0.4 to less than 2 um as measured according to ASTM E1 12-2010. The ceramic sintered body may be machined into plasma resistant components for use in plasma processing chambers. Methods of making are also disclosed.

    摘要: A spark plasma sintering tool (1). The tool comprises a die (2) including an inner wall having a diameter that defines an inner volume configured to receive a ceramic powder (5), and an upper punch (4) and a lower punch (4') operably coupled with the die, wherein each of the upper and lower punches have an outer wall defining a diameter that is less than the diameter of the inner wall of the die thereby creating a gap from 10 μm to 100 μm wide between each of the punches and the inner wall of the die when at least one of the punches moves within the inner volume of the die. Also disclosed are a method of using the tool to create a large sintered ceramic body and a computer readable medium storing processor-executable instructions adapted to cause one or more computing devices to operate the tool.
