Showerhead insulator and etch chamber liner
Abstract:
The present invention generally comprises a showerhead insulator for electrically isolating a showerhead assembly from a processing chamber wall, a chamber liner assembly for lining a processing chamber, a lower chamber liner for lining an evacuation area of a processing chamber, and a flow equalizer for ensuring a uniform evacuation of a processing chamber. When processing a substrate within an etching chamber, the showerhead needs to be electrically isolated from ground. A showerhead insulator may insulate the showerhead from ground while also preventing plasma from entering the volume that it occupies. A chamber liner may protect the chamber walls from contamination and reduce chamber cleaning. A flow equalizer will permit processing gases to be evenly pulled into the evacuation channel rather than a disproportionate flow into the evacuation channel. A lower liner can aid in uniformly drawing the vacuum and protecting the chamber walls from contamination.
