Abstract: Implementations described herein provide a substrate support assembly that includes a seal band. The seal band protects an adhesive layer that is disposed between an electrostatic chuck (ESC) and a cooling plate of the substrate support assembly. In one example, a substrate support assembly includes an electrostatic chuck and a cooling plate. A bonding layer secures a bottom surface of the electrostatic chuck to a top surface of the cooling plate. The bonding layer has an adhesive layer and a seal band. The seal band circumscribes and protects the adhesive layer. The seal band has a ring shaped body. The ring shaped body has a top surface connected to a bottom surface by an inner surface and an outer surface. The top surface and the bottom surface angled less than 85 degrees from the inner surface. The outer surface has an indent formed therein.

Abstract: A dynamically tunable process kit, a processing chamber having a dynamically tunable process kit, and a method for processing a substrate using a dynamically tunable process kit are provided. The dynamically tunable process kit allows one or both of the electrical and thermal state of the process kit to be changed without changing the physical construction of the process kit, thereby allowing plasma properties, and hence processing results, to be easily changed without replacing the process kit. The processing chamber having a dynamically tunable process kit includes a chamber body that includes a portion of a conductive side wall configured to be electrically controlled, and a process kit. The processing chamber includes a first control system operable to control one or both of an electrical and thermal state of the process kit and a second control system operable to control an electrical state of the portion of the side wall.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a showerhead assembly for use in a processing chamber. The showerhead assembly includes a porous insert disposed in a space defined between a gas distribution plate and a base plate to moderate the corrosive radicals resulting from plasma ignition to reduce particle issues and metal contamination in the chamber. The porous insert is a conductive material, such as metal, used to reduce the gap electrical field strength, or may be a dielectric material such as ceramic, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyamide-imide, or other materials with a low dielectric loss and high electrical field strength under conditions of high frequency and strong electric fields. As such, the electrical breakdown threshold is enhanced. The porous insert may reduce and/or eliminate showerhead backside plasma ignition and may include multiple concentric narrow rings that cover gas holes of the gas distribution plate.
