Abstract:
A temperature control device (308) for controlling temperature of an upper chamber (312) of a plasma processing apparatus (300) is described. The temperature control device includes a thermally conductive body (334) having an inner surface and an outer surface removably connected with and in thermal communication with the upper chamber of the plasma processing apparatus. The temperature control device also includes a plurality of thermal interface layers (344, 348, 350, 352) in thermal communication with the thermally conductive body wherein at least one layer is a heating element (350); and a cooling element (326) connected with the banded thermally conductive body and thermally coupled with the upper chamber of the plasma processing apparatus wherein the cooling element is configured to conduct a fluidic medium. The temperature control device further includes at least one temperature sensor for sensing temperature of the upper chamber, a temperature control unit for controlling the heating element and the cooling element; and a latching mechanism for securing the temperature control device to the upper chamber.
Abstract:
Aluminum-plated components of semiconductor material processing apparatuses are disclosed. The components include a substrate and an optional intermediate layer formed on at least one surface of the substrate. The intermediate layer includes at least one surface. An aluminum plating is formed on the substrate, or on the optional intermediate layer. The surface on which the aluminum plating is formed is electrically-conductive. An anodized layer can optionally be formed on the aluminum plating. The aluminum plating or optional the anodized layer comprises a process-exposed surface of the component. Semiconductor material processing apparatuses including one or more aluminum-plated components, methods of processing substrates, and methods of making the aluminum-plated components are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A plasma processing system for processing a substrate is described. The plasma processing system includes a bottom piece (250) including a chuck (216) configured for holding the substrate (224). The plasma processing system also includes an induction coil (231) configured to generate an electromagnetic field (242) in order to create a plasma (220) for processing the substrate; and an optimized top piece (244) coupled to the bottom piece, the top piece further configured for a heating and cooling system (246). Wherein, the heating and cooling system is substantially shielded from the electromagnetic field by the optimized top piece, and the optimized top piece can substantially be handled by a single person.
