Abstract: Some implementations described herein provide a physical vapor deposition tool. The physical vapor deposition tool includes a magnet component, a single cathode, and a power circuit for biasing a pedestal that supports a semiconductor substrate. During a deposition operation that deposits an inert metal material, the physical vapor deposition tool may modulate an electromagnetic field emanating from the magnet component that includes spiral-shaped bands having different ranges of magnetic strength. The physical vapor deposition tool may have an increased throughput relative to a physical vapor deposition tool without the magnet component, the single cathode, and the power circuit. Additionally, or alternatively, the inert metal material may have a grain size that is greater relative to a grain size of an inert metal material deposited using the physical vapor deposition tool without the magnet component, the single cathode, and the power circuit.

Abstract: A method for adjusting the oxidation or nitriding amount in a substrate process within a process chamber is disclosed. It involves providing a process chamber with a housing, a susceptor for holding the substrate, and an antenna member extending radially from the susceptor's center towards its outer periphery. A process gas supply unit is placed between the housing's bottom exterior and the susceptor's upper surface. The antenna member's shape on the central axis and outer peripheral sides of the susceptor is determined based on the tendencies for the oxidizing amount to decrease and increase, respectively, with increasing distance from the housing's bottom inside. The antenna is deformed based on the determined shape to adjust the oxidation or nitriding amount of the substrate process.
