    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to an apparatus and method for reducing particle generation in a processing chamber. In one embodiment, the methods generally includes generating a plasma between a powered top electrode and a grounded bottom electrode, wherein the top electrode is parallel to the bottom electrode, and applying a constant zero DC bias voltage to the powered top electrode during a film deposition process to minimize the electrical potential difference between the powered top electrode and the plasma and/or the electrical potential difference between the grounded bottom electrode and the plasma. Minimizing the electrical potential difference between the plasma and the electrodes reduces particle generation because the acceleration of the ions in the sheath region of the electrodes is reduced and the collision force of the ions with the protective coating layer on the electrodes is minimized. Therefore, particle generation on the substrate surface is reduced.

    Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus for reducing particle generation on a showerhead during an ion bombarding process in a process chamber are provided. First and second RF signals are supplied from an RF generator to an electrode embedded in a substrate support in the process chamber. The second RF signal is adjusted relative to the first RF signal in response to a measurement of a first RF amplitude, a second RF amplitude, a first RF phase, and a second RF phase. Ion bombardment on a substrate is maximized and the quantity of particles generated on the showerhead is minimized. Methods and systems described herein provide for improved ion etching characteristics while reducing the amount of debris particles generated from the showerhead.
