    摘要: A gas supply delivery arrangement of a plasma processing system for processing a substrate with gases introduced through at least first, second, and third gas injection zones comprises process gas supply inlets and tuning gas inlets. A mixing manifold comprises gas sticks in fluid communication with a process gas supply and tuning gas sticks in fluid communication with a tuning gas supply. A first gas outlet delivers gas to the first gas injection zone, a second gas outlet delivers gas to the second gas injection zone, and a third gas outlet delivers gas to the third gas injection zone. A gas splitter is in fluid communication with the mixing manifold, and includes a first valve arrangement which splits mixed gas exiting the mixing manifold into a first mixed gas supplied to the first gas outlet and a second mixed gas supplied to the second, and/or third gas outlets.

    摘要: A corrosion sensor retainer assembly and method for predicting and detecting corrosion within a gas delivery system of a semiconductor substrate processing apparatus. The corrosion sensor retainer assembly comprises a laminate that includes a first insulating layer with a first port and a second insulating layer with a second port, wherein the first port and the second port are configured to retain a seal. The corrosion sensor retainer assembly includes a conductor housed within the laminate. The conductor forms a path that extends around the first port and the second port. At least a portion of the conductor has an exposed surface with a property that changes in the presence of corrosive gas or acid.

    摘要: In some examples, a gas mixer comprises a body and an orbital array of gas inlets for receiving one or more constituents of a mixed gas. A mixed gas outlet emits a mixed gas from the body and is disposed at a center of the orbital array of gas inlets. A central gas mixing point, separate from the mixed gas outlet, comprises an internal volume disposed within the body and is surrounded by the orbital array of gas inlet. The internal volume is in fluid communication with the orbital array of gas inlets via a corresponding array of gas pathways extending from the internal volume to each of the gas inlets. Each gas path length of the respective gas pathways is the same. Control circuitry is configured to control gas flow rate within each of the gas pathways individually.

    摘要: A gas delivery apparatus for supplying process gas to a processing chamber of a plasma processing apparatus includes a mixing manifold having a plurality of gas inlets on a surface thereof, the gas inlets being equally spaced from a center mixing point of the mixing manifold; and optionally a plurality of gas supplies in communication with the plurality of gas inlets on the surface of the mixing manifold. A method of supplying gas to a processing chamber of a plasma processing apparatus using such a gas delivery apparatus involves providing a plurality of gas supplies in communication with a plurality of gas inlets on a surface of a mixing manifold; flowing at least two different gases from the plurality of gas supplies to the mixing manifold to create a first mixed gas; and supplying the first mixed gas to a plasma processing chamber coupled downstream of the mixing manifold.
