Abstract:
A vacuum pumping line plasma source is provided. The plasma source includes a body defining a generally cylindrical interior volume extending along a central longitudinal axis. The body has an input port for coupling to an input pumping line, an output port for coupling to an output pumping line, and an interior surface disposed about the generally cylindrical interior volume. The plasma source also includes a supply electrode disposed adjacent to a return electrode, and a barrier dielectric member, a least a portion of which is positioned between the supply electrode and the return electrode. The plasma source further includes a dielectric barrier discharge structure formed from the supply electrode, the return electrode, and the barrier dielectric member.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a remote plasma source for cleaning an exhaust pipe. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a substrate processing chamber, a pump positioned to evacuate the substrate processing chamber, and an abatement system. The abatement system comprises a plasma gas delivery system positioned between the substrate processing chamber and the pump, the gas delivery system having a first end coupling to the substrate processing chamber and a second end coupling to the pump, a reactor body connected to the gas delivery system through a delivery member, a cleaning gas source connected to the reactor body, and a power source positioned to ionize within the reactor body a cleaning gas from the cleaning gas source. Radicals and species of the cleaning gas react with post-process gases from the substrate processing chamber to convert them into a environmentally and process equipment friendly composition before entering the pump.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a recursive liner system that facilitates providing more uniform flow of gases proximate the surface of a substrate disposed within an apparatus for processing a substrate (e.g., a process chamber). In some embodiments, a recursive liner system may include an outer liner having an outer portion configured to line the walls of a process chamber, a bottom portion extending inward from the outer portion, and a lip extending up from the bottom portion to define a well; and an inner liner having a lower portion configured to be at least partially disposed in the well to define, together with the outer liner, a recursive flow path therebetween.
Abstract:
A plasma reactor comprises a reaction chamber and an inlet head connected to the reaction chamber. The inlet head comprises an open end connected to the reaction chamber, a plasma inlet located opposite to the open end, an inner surface tapering from the open end towards the plasma inlet, and first and second gas inlets each located between the plasma inlet and the open end. A plasma torch injects a plasma stream into the reaction chamber through the plasma inlet, which is shaped to cause the plasma stream to spread outwardly towards the first and second gas inlets. This shaping of the inlet head and the plasma inlet can enable the plasma stream to impinge upon gas streams as they exit from the gas inlets and thereby cause a significant proportion of at least one component of the gas streams to be reacted before the gas streams begin to mix within the chamber.

Abstract:
In a method of inhibiting the deposition of aluminium within a vacuum pump during the pumping from a process chamber of a gas stream containing an organoaluminium precursor, chlorine is supplied to the gas stream upstream of the vacuum pump to react with the precursor to form aluminium chloride, which can pass harmlessly through the pump in its vapour phase.
