View page
US Patent:
6401652, Jun 11, 2002
Filed:
May 4, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/565568
Inventors:
Jonathan D. Mohn - Saratoga CA
Arthur H. Sato - San Jose CA
Kien Nai Chuc - Cupertino CA
Assignee:
Applied Materials, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
C23C 1600
US Classification:
118723AN, 118723 I, 118723 IR, 15634548, 438710
Abstract:
The present invention is embodied in a plasma reactor with an inductive coil antenna facing the reactor chamber in which the windings of the coil antenna have a flattened cross-sectional shape, the flat portion of the winding facing toward the plasma within the reactor. Preferably, the coil antenna is located outside the reactor and faces a ceiling or wall of the reactor chamber. The coil antenna may be a single helical coil winding or multiple concentric spiral windings.

US Patent:
20070277734, Dec 6, 2007
Filed:
May 29, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/754916
Inventors:
Dmitry Lubomirsky - Cupertino CA, US
Qiwei Liang - Fremont CA, US
Soonam Park - Mountain View CA, US
Kien Chuc - San Jose CA, US
Ellie Yieh - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Applied Materials, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
C23C 16/00
US Classification:
118715000
Abstract:
A system to form a dielectric layer on a substrate from a plasma of dielectric precursors is described. The system may include a deposition chamber, a substrate stage in the deposition chamber to hold the substrate, and a remote plasma generating system coupled to the deposition chamber, where the plasma generating system is used to generate a dielectric precursor having one or more reactive radicals. The system may also include a precursor distribution system comprising a dual-channel showerhead positioned above the substrate stage. The showerhead may have a faceplate with a first set of openings through which the reactive radical precursor enters the deposition chamber, and a second set of openings through which a second dielectric precursor enters the deposition chamber. An in-situ plasma generating system may also be included to generate the plasma in the deposition chamber from the dielectric precursors supplied to the deposition chamber.

Assignee:
Applied Materials, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H05H 1/24
US Classification:
427569000
Abstract:
A system to form a dielectric layer on a substrate from a plasma of dielectric precursors is described. The system may include a deposition chamber, a substrate stage in the deposition chamber to hold the substrate, and a remote plasma generating system coupled to the deposition chamber, where the plasma generating system is used to generate a dielectric precursor having one or more reactive radicals. The system may also include a precursor distribution system that includes at least one top inlet and a plurality of side inlets. The top inlet may be positioned above the substrate stage and the side inlets may be radially distributed around the substrate stage. The reactive radical precursor may be supplied to the deposition chamber through the top inlet. An in-situ plasma generating system may also be included to generate the plasma in the deposition chamber from the dielectric precursors supplied to the deposition chamber.

US Patent:
20070289534, Dec 20, 2007
Filed:
May 29, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/754858
Inventors:
Dmitry Lubomirsky - Cupertino CA, US
Qiwei Liang - Fremont CA, US
Soonam Park - Mountain View CA, US
Kien Chuc - San Jose CA, US
Ellie Yieh - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Applied Materials, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
C23C 16/452
US Classification:
11872300R
Abstract:
A system to form a dielectric layer on a substrate from a plasma of dielectric precursors is described. The system may include a deposition chamber, a substrate stage in the deposition chamber to hold the substrate, and a remote plasma generating system coupled to the deposition chamber, where the plasma generating system is used to generate a dielectric precursor having one or more reactive radicals. The system may also include a radiative heating system to heat the substrate that includes at least one light source, where at least some of the light emitted from the light source travels through the top side of the deposition chamber before reaching the substrate. The system may also include a precursor distribution system to introduce the reactive radical precursor and additional dielectric precursors to the deposition chamber. An in-situ plasma generating system may also be included to generate the plasma in the deposition chamber from the dielectric precursors supplied to the deposition chamber.

Dmitry LUBOMIRSKY - Cupertino CA, US
Matthew MILLER - Newark CA, US
Jay PINSON - San Jose CA, US
Kien CHUC - Cupertino CA, US
Assignee:

Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention generally provide a plasma source apparatus, and method of using the same, that is able to generate radicals and/or gas ions in a plasma generation region that is symmetrically positioned around a magnetic core element by use of an electromagnetic energy source. In general, the orientation and shape of the plasma generation region and magnetic core allows for the effective and uniform coupling of the delivered electromagnetic energy to a gas disposed in the plasma generation region. In general, the improved characteristics of the plasma formed in the plasma generation region is able to improve deposition, etching and/or cleaning processes performed on a substrate or a portion of a processing chamber that is disposed downstream of the plasma generation region.
