Abstract: Magnetron configurations that provide more efficient and/or more uniform cooling characteristics and methods for forming the magnetrons are provided. The magnetron includes one or more flow directing structures disposed between parallel cooling fins. The flow directing structures direct air flow across various surfaces of the cooling fins that otherwise would be obstructed by magnetron components, reducing the incidence and/or magnitude of hot spots on the cooling fins and/or on other magnetron components. The flow directing structures also adjust flow rates to improve cooling efficiency.

Abstract: The implementations described herein generally relate to a sensing device for use in the semiconducting industry which sense process parameters to control semiconductor processes. More specifically, the implementations relate to packaging for a surface acoustic wave (SAW) based devices or wireless or RF-responsive sensors for use in the harsh processing environments of a semiconductor processing chamber such that the neither the sensor and its components nor the chamber components interfere with or contaminate one another. The sensor packaging may include various packaging layers with or without protective coatings and a waveguide. The packaging may have a thickness chosen such that the thickness is less than the electromagnetic wavelength of a SAW sensor radio wave. The sensing devices may be disposed in cavities of the chamber, the processing volume, on chamber components, and/or on the substrate.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to a substrate polishing and slurry recycling system. The system includes an extendable gutter that may be positioned to collect processing slurry from the polishing pad during processing and deliver the consumed slurry to a reclamation tank. The reclaimed slurry may be treated and mixed with fresh slurry for delivery to the polishing pad during subsequent substrate polishing. The extendable gutter may be positioned in a second position during rinsing of the polishing pad so that rinsing fluid passes underneath the gutter and is removed from the system without mixing with the reclaimed slurry.

Abstract: A retaining ring for a polishing system is disclosed. The retaining ring has a process-resistant coating over a portion thereof. The process-resistant coating is a thin, smooth, conformal layer that is resistant to wear and chemical attack. The process-resistant coating is formed by a method that includes vapor deposition from a precursor gas mixture, which may deposit polyparaxyxylene from a gas mixture comprising paracyclophane. Adhesion of the process-resistant coating to the retaining ring may be enhanced by treating the surface of the ring prior to forming the coating. Resistance of the coating to the process may be further enhanced by treating the surface of the coating with an etching or deposition gas to impart texture.
