Abstract:
Exemplary semiconductor processing systems may include a pedestal configured to support a semiconductor substrate. The pedestal may be operable as a first plasma-generating electrode. The systems may include a lid plate defining a radial volume. The systems may include a faceplate supported with the lid plate. The faceplate may be operable as a second plasma-generating electrode. A plasma processing region may be defined between the pedestal and the faceplate within the radial volume defined by the faceplate. The faceplate may define a plurality of first apertures. The systems may include a showerhead positioned between the faceplate and the pedestal. The showerhead may define a plurality of second apertures comprising a greater number of apertures than the plurality of first apertures.
