    摘要: Pedestal assemblies and methods for using said pedestal assemblies, used in processing chambers implemented for processing substrates are disclosed. In one example, the pedestal assembly includes a center column coupled to a lower chamber body of a processing chamber. A pedestal body is coupled to the center column. The pedestal body includes a substrate support surface and an annular step formed around a circumference of the pedestal body and surrounding the substrate support surface. Further included is a first annular ring segment disposed within the annular step. The first annular ring is defined from a conductive material. A second annular ring segment is also disposed within the annular step. The second annular ring is defined from a dielectric material. The first annular ring and the second annular ring fill the annular step around the circumference of the pedestal body. The first and second annular rings provide a fill that surrounds the substrate support and acts to modify an impedance for improving azimuthal uniformity of films deposited over the substrate using the processing chamber.

    摘要: A substrate processing system includes a processing chamber and a showerhead including a faceplate, a stem portion and a cylindrical base portion. A collar connects the showerhead to a top surface of the processing chamber. The collar defines a gas channel to receive secondary purge gas and a plurality of gas slits to direct the secondary purge gas from the gas channel in a radially outward and downward direction. A conical surface is arranged adjacent to the cylindrical base and around the stem portion of the showerhead. An inverted conical surface is arranged adjacent to a top surface and sidewalls of the processing chamber. The conical surface and the inverted conical surface define an angled gas channel from the plurality of gas slits to a gap defined between a radially outer portion of the cylindrical base portion and the sidewalls of the processing chamber.
