Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for confining plasma in a process chamber. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a first liner with a first set of openings, the first liner configured to surround a substrate support when installed and a second liner with a second set of openings, the second liner configured to surround the substrate support under the first liner when installed, wherein the first set of openings and the second set of openings are configured to be offset from each other when installed in the process chamber to prevent a line-of-sight through the first liner and the second liner from a top down viewpoint, and wherein the first liner and the second liner are configured to be spaced apart vertically when installed in the process chamber to allow high fluid conductance through the first set of openings and the second set of openings.
