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.

摘要: Apparatus that forms low resistivity tungsten film on substrates. In some embodiments, the apparatus may provide reduced resistivity of tungsten by being configured to generate a plasma in a processing volume of a physical vapor deposition (PVD) chamber with a process gas of krypton and using an RF power with a frequency of approximately 60 MHz, apply bias power at frequency of approximately 13.56 MHz to a substrate, and sputter a tungsten target to deposit a tungsten thin film on the substrate. At least approximately 90% of the deposited tungsten thin film has a crystalline orientation plane approximately parallel to a top surface of the substrate.
