摘要:
Embodiments of the invention provide improved apparatus for depositing layers on substrates, such as by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The inventive apparatus disclosed herein may advantageously facilitate one or more of depositing films having reduced film thickness non-uniformity within a given process chamber, improved particle performance (e.g., reduced particles on films formed in the process chamber), chamber-to-chamber performance matching amongst a plurality of process chambers, and improved process chamber serviceability.

A bridge assembly includes an electrically insulating hollow tube or bridge having a pair of ends, the bridge being supported at one of the ends over the cylindrical side wall and being supported at the other of the ends over the electrode. The bridge assembly further includes a set of conductive rings surrounding the hollow tube and spaced from one another along the length of the bridge, and plural electrically resistive elements. Each of the resistive elements has a pair of flexible connectors, respective ones the resistive elements connected at their flexible connectors between respective pairs of the rings to form a series resistor assembly.

Embodiments of substrate heating methods and apparatus are provided herein. In one embodiment, a substrate heater is provided including a heater plate having a top surface and an opposing bottom surface, a recess formed in the top surface, the recess having a feature having an upper surface for supporting a substrate, wherein the depth from a bottom surface of the recess to the upper surface of the feature is at least 5 mils. One or more pads may be disposed in the recess for supporting a substrate. The heater plate may have a thickness of about 19 mm. One or more indentations may be formed in the bottom surface of the recess for altering the rate of heat transfer to a portion of a substrate disposed above the indentation during processing. The heater plate may be utilized in a process chamber for performing heat-assisted processes.
