摘要: Embodiments of a process kit are provided herein. In some embodiments, a process kit includes a deposition ring configured to be disposed on a substrate support, the deposition ring including an annular band configured to rest on a lower ledge of the substrate support, the annular band having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface including a step between a radially inner portion and a radially outer portion; an inner lip extending upwards from the upper surface of the annular band and adjacent an inner surface of the annular band, wherein a depth between an upper surface of the annular band and a horizontal portion of the upper surface of the inner lip is between about 6.0 mm and about 12.0 mm; a channel disposed radially outward of and beneath the annular band; and an outer lip extending upwardly and disposed radially outward of the channel.

摘要: An apparatus leverages a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process chamber with a wafer-to-target distance of approximately 400 millimeters to deposit tantalum film on through silicon via (TSV) structures. The PVD process chamber includes a source that is configured with dual magnet source compensation. The PVD chamber also includes an upper electromagnet assembly exterior to the chamber body in close proximity to the source, a magnetron assembly in the source including dual magnets with dual radius trajectories, a shield within the chamber body, and a plurality of grounding loops that are symmetrically spaced about a periphery of a substrate support assembly and are configured to provide an RF ground return path between the substrate support assembly and the shield.

摘要: Methods and apparatus for cleaning an electrostatic chuck (ESC) in a semiconductor chamber allow in-situ cleaning of the ESC. An apparatus may include an adapter or cover ring that is electrically isolated from a deposition ring; an annular grounding bracket mounted to and surrounding a pedestal, the annular grounding bracket has at least one horizontal grounding loop on an upper perimeter surface configured to provide electrical contact with the adapter or cover ring and to provide an RF return path to the ESC during plasma generation; and a bracket with a horizontal grounding loop on a first end to make electrical contact with the deposition ring and a vertical grounding loop on a second end to make electrical contact with a lift hoop which is electrically grounded, the bracket is mounted to, but electrically isolated from, the annular grounding bracket.
