Abstract: An etch processor for etching a wafer includes a chuck for holding the wafer and a temperature sensor reporting a temperature of the wafer. The chuck includes a heater controlled by a temperature control system. The temperature sensor is operatively coupled to the temperature control system to maintain the temperature of the chuck at a selectable setpoint temperature. A first setpoint temperature and a second setpoint temperature are selected. The wafer is placed on the chuck and set to the first setpoint temperature. The wafer is then processed for a first period of time at the first setpoint temperature and for a second period of time at the second setpoint temperature.

Abstract: A plasma discharge electrode having a front surface with a central portion thereof including gas outlets discharging a process gas which forms a plasma and a peripheral portion substantially surrounding the gas outlets. The peripheral portion has at least one step for controlling a density of the plasma formed by the electrode. The electrode can be used as the grounded upper electrode in a parallel plate plasma processing apparatus such as a plasma etching apparatus. The geometric features of the step and of a corresponding edge ring on the lower electrode can be varied to achieve the desired etch rate profile across a wafer surface.

Abstract: A method of processing a workpiece (18) with a plasma in a vacuum plasma processing chamber (10) having a bottom electrode (13) below the workpiece, comprising the step of exciting a plasma with electric energy at several frequencies, i.e. three or more, such that the excitation of the plasma by applying energy at the several frequencies simultaneously causes several different phenomena to occur in the plasma, wherein the phenomena affct plasma ion energy, plasma ion densityand plasma chemistry. An apparatus for carrying out this method comprises an electric energy source arrangement (51) for supplying the several frequencies (F1, F2, F3) to the bottom electrode.
