Abstract: Exemplary processing systems may include a chamber body. The systems may include a pedestal configured to support a semiconductor substrate. The systems may include a faceplate. The chamber body, the pedestal, and the faceplate may define a processing region. The faceplate may be coupled with an RF power source. The systems may include a remote plasma unit. The remote plasma unit may be coupled at electrical ground. The systems may include a discharge tube extending from the remote plasma unit towards the faceplate. The discharge tube may define a central aperture. The discharge tube may be electrically coupled with each of the faceplate and the remote plasma unit. The discharge tube may include ferrite extending about the central aperture of the discharge tube.

Abstract: Exemplary semiconductor processing systems may include a lid plate and a gas splitter. The gas splitter may be seated on the lid plate. The gas splitter may include a top surface and a plurality of side surfaces. The gas splitter may define a gas inlet, a gas outlet, a gas lumen that extends between and fluidly couples the gas inlet with the gas outlet, and a first divert lumen that is fluidly coupled with the gas lumen and that directs gases away from a processing chamber through a divert outlet. The semiconductor processing system may include a first divert weldment. The first divert weldment may extend from and fluidly couple to the divert outlet. The first divert weldment may include a first divert weldment outlet and a second divert weldment outlet.

Abstract: Exemplary semiconductor processing chambers may include a gasbox including a first plate having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The first plate of the gasbox may define a central aperture that extends from the first surface to the second surface. The first plate may define an annular recess in the second surface. The first plate may define a plurality of apertures extending from the first surface to the annular recess in the second surface. The gasbox may include a second plate characterized by an annular shape. The second plate may be coupled with the first plate at the annular recess to define a first plenum within the first plate.

Abstract: Exemplary substrate processing systems may include a lid plate. The systems may include a gas splitter seated on the lid plate. The gas splitter may define a plurality of gas inlets and gas outlets. A number of gas outlets may be greater than a number of gas inlets. The systems may include a plurality of valve blocks that are interfaced with the gas splitter. Each valve block may define a number of gas lumens. An inlet of each of the gas lumens may be in fluid communication with one of the gas outlets. An interface between the gas splitter and each of the valve blocks may include a choke. The systems may include a plurality of output manifolds seated on the lid plate. The systems may include a plurality of output weldments that may couple an outlet of one of the gas lumens with one of the output manifolds.

Abstract: Exemplary methods of forming a silicon-and-carbon-containing material may include flowing a silicon-and-carbon-containing precursor into a processing region of a semiconductor processing chamber. A substrate may be housed within the processing region of the semiconductor processing chamber. The methods may include forming a plasma within the processing region of the silicon-and-carbon-containing precursor. The plasma may be formed at a frequency above 15 MHz. The methods may include depositing a silicon-and-carbon-containing material on the substrate. The silicon-and-carbon-containing material as-deposited may be characterized by a dielectric constant below or about 3.0.
