    Abstract: A physical vapor deposition (PVD) system includes: a chamber body; a substrate support disposed within the chamber body and capable of supporting a substrate; a PVD target; and a target profile monitoring subsystem. The PVD target includes: a target plate comprising a target material; and a backing plate attached to the target plate and comprising: a central section; and a peripheral section circumferentially surrounding the central section in a horizontal plane. The peripheral section has a first thickness in a vertical direction, the central section has a second thickness in the vertical direction, and the first thickness is larger than the second thickness. The target profile monitoring subsystem is configured to monitor usage of the target plate.

    Abstract: A device for removing particles in a gas stream includes a first cylindrical portion configured to receive the gas stream containing a target gas and the particles, a rotatable device disposed within the first cylindrical portion and configured to generate a centrifugal force when in a rotational action to divert the particles away from the rotatable device, a second cylindrical portion coupled to the first cylindrical portion and configured to receive the target gas, and a third cylindrical portion coupled to the first cylindrical portion and surrounding the second cylindrical portion, the third cylindrical portion being configured to receive the diverted particles.
