    摘要: We have a method of improving the deposition rate uniformity of the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of films when a number of substrates are processed in series, sequentially in a deposition chamber. The method includes the plasma pre-heating of at least one processing volume structure within the processing volume which surrounds the substrate when the substrate is present in the deposition chamber. We also have a device-controlled method which adjusts the deposition time for a few substrates at the beginning of the processing of a number of substrates in series, sequentially in a deposition chamber, so that the deposited film thickness remains essentially constant during processing of the series of substrates. A combination of these methods into a single method provides the best overall results in terms of controlling average film thickness from substrate to substrate.

    摘要: The present invention generally includes a coupling between components. When igniting a plasma remote from a processing chamber, the reactive gas ions may travel to the processing chamber through numerous components. The reactive gas ions may be quite hot and cause the various components to become very hot and thus, the seals between apparatus components may fail. Therefore, it may be beneficial to cool any metallic components through which the reactive gas ions may travel. However, at the interface between the cooled metallic component and a ceramic component, the ceramic component may experience a temperature gradient sufficient to crack the ceramic material due to the heat of the reactive gas ions and the coolness of the metallic component. Therefore, extending a flange of the metallic component into the ceramic component may lessen the temperature gradient at the interface and reduce cracking of the ceramic component.

    摘要: Embodiments of a gas distribution plate for distributing gas in a processing chamber for large area substrates are provided. The embodiments describe a gas distribution plate assembly for a plasma processing chamber having a cover plate comprises a diffuser plate having an upstream side, a downstream side facing a processing region, and a plurality of gas passages formed through the diffuser plate, and a baffle plate, placed between the cover plate of the process chamber and the diffuser plate, having a plurality of holes extending from the upper surface to the lower surface of the baffle plate, wherein the plurality of holes have at least two sizes. The small pinholes of the baffle plate are used to allow sufficient pass-through of gas mixture, while the large holes of the baffle plate are used to improve the process uniformity across the substrate.

    摘要: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to an apparatus having an anodized gas distribution showerhead. In large area, parallel plate RF processing chambers, mastering the RF return path can be challenging. Arcing is a frequent problem encountered in RF processing chambers. To reduce arcing in RF processing chambers, straps may be coupled to the susceptor to shorten the RF return path, a ceramic or insulating or anodized shadow frame may be coupled to the susceptor during processing, and an anodized coating may be deposited onto the edge of the showerhead that is nearest the chamber walls. The anodized coating may reduce arcing between the showerhead and the chamber walls and therefore enhance film properties and increase deposition rate.
