Abstract:
An exhausting apparatus includes an exhaust pump configured to extract unreacted precursor in a process chamber and vent the unreacted precursor out of the exhaust pump, and a first material supplier configured to supply a first material into the exhaust pump. The first material is adsorbable on an interior surface of the exhaust pump to prevent the unreacted precursor from being adsorbed on the interior surface of the exhaust pump.
Abstract:
A method of controlling a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process, a temperature control, and a CMP apparatus, the method including measuring actual temperatures of at least two regions in a platen in real time during the CMP process in which a polishing pad attached to the platen polishes a substrate held by a polishing head using slurry and deionized water; receiving the measured actual temperatures of the regions; and individually controlling the actual temperatures of the regions in real time during the CMP process to provide the regions with a predetermined set CMP process temperature.
Abstract:
A plurality of metal patterns are disposed on a substrate. A support structure is provided between the plurality of metal patterns. The support structure has a supporter and a glue layer. Each of the plurality of metal patterns has a greater vertical length than a horizontal length on the substrate when viewed from a cross-sectional view. The supporter has a band gap energy of at least 4.5 eV. The glue layer is in contact with the plurality of metal patterns. The supporter and the glue layer are formed of different materials.
