    摘要: Embodiments of showerheads for use in a process chamber are provided herein. In some embodiments, a showerhead includes a first spiral channel extending from a central region to a peripheral region of the showerhead; a second spiral channel extending from a central region to a peripheral region of the showerhead, wherein the second spiral channel is interleaved with the first spiral channel and fluidly independent from the first spiral channel; a plurality of first channels extending from the first spiral channel to a plurality of first gas distribution holes on a lower surface of the showerhead, wherein each first channel is a singular channel extending at an angle; and a plurality of second channels extending from the second spiral channel to a plurality of second gas distribution holes on the lower surface of the showerhead, wherein each second channel is a singular channel extending at an angle.

    摘要: Pumping liners for process chambers including a first ring-shaped body and a second ring-shaped body are described. The first ring-shaped body has a first plurality of openings and the second ring-shaped body has a second plurality of openings. The first ring-shaped body and the second ring-shaped body are rotatable relative to each other around a central axis to at least partially overlap the first plurality of openings and the second plurality of openings to change the area of conductance through the openings. Methods of removing gases from a processing chamber are also described.

    摘要: Processing chambers, substrate supports, centering wafers and methods of center calibrating wafer hand-off are described. A centering wafer comprises a disc-shaped body having a top surface and a bottom surface defining a thickness, a center, an outer edge having an outer peripheral face, a first arc-shaped slit and a second arc-shaped slit. Embodiments of the disclosure advantageously provide the ability to use the centering wafer to monitor and control backside pressure and thereby determine the center of a substrate support prior to processing the centering wafer. The centering wafer may be centered at a plurality of different angles by rotating the centering wafer.

    摘要: Substrate support, substrate support assemblies and process chambers comprising same are described. The substrate support has a thermally conductive body with a top surface, a bottom surface and an outer edge, and a plurality of long edge purge channel outlet opening at the outer edge of the thermally conductive body. The substrate support is configured to support a substrate to be processed on a top surface of the substrate support. The top surface of the thermally conductive body may have a ceramic coating. Each of the plurality of purge channel outlet is in fluid communication with a long edge purge channel. The long edge purge channel is coated with a long edge purge channel coating. A substrate support assembly includes the substrate support and the support post coupled to the substrate support. The processing chamber include a chamber body and the substrate support within the chamber body.
