    Abstract: An electrostatic chuck assembly is provided comprising a ceramic contact layer, a patterned bonding layer, an electrically conductive base plate, and a subterranean arc mitigation layer. The ceramic contact layer and the electrically conductive base plate cooperate to define a plurality of hybrid gas distribution channels formed in a subterranean portion of the electrostatic chuck assembly. Individual ones of the hybrid gas distribution channels comprise surfaces of relatively high electrical conductivity presented by the electrically conductive base plate and relatively low electrical conductivity presented by the ceramic contact layer. The subterranean arc mitigation layer comprises a layer of relatively low electrical conductivity and is formed over the relatively high conductivity surfaces of the hybrid gas distribution channels in the subterranean portion of the electrostatic chuck assembly. Semiconductor wafer processing chambers are also provided.

    Abstract: An edge ring assembly surrounds a substrate support surface in a plasma etching chamber. The edge ring assembly comprises an edge ring and a dielectric spacer ring. The dielectric spacer ring, which surrounds the substrate support surface and which is surrounded by the edge ring in the radial direction, is configured to insulate the edge ring from the baseplate. Incorporation of the edge ring assembly around the substrate support surface can decrease the buildup of polymer at the underside and along the edge of a substrate and increase plasma etching uniformity of the substrate.

    Abstract: A yttria insulator ring for use in a plasma processing apparatus is provided to minimize arcing between the apparatus and a ground extension, while also increasing a mean time between cleanings (MTBC). The yttria insulator ring may be located between a ground extension and a plasma generation zone, or gap, of the chamber of the apparatus, as well as between an edge ring and the ground extension. Compared to a quartz ring, the yttria insulator ring can also provide improved semiconductor substrate uniformity because of improved RF coupling as a result of decreased reactivity and increased dielectric constant.

    Abstract: An electrode assembly for a plasma reaction chamber used in semiconductor substrate processing. The assembly includes an upper showerhead electrode which includes an inner electrode mechanically attached to a backing plate by a clamp ring and an outer electrode attached to the backing plate by a series of spaced apart cam locks. A guard ring surrounds the backing plate and is movable to positions at which openings in the guard ring align with openings in the backing plate so that the cam locks can be rotated with a tool to release cam pins extending upward from the upper face of the outer electrode. To compensate for differential thermal expansion, the clamp ring can include expansion joins at spaced locations which allow the clamp ring to absorb thermal stresses.

    Abstract: A gas distribution plate (GDP) GDP is pretreated before implementation in a semiconductor fabrication apparatus so as to be stable over the operational lifetime of the GDP. The pre-treatment acts to reduce undesired reactions of the GDP with process chemistry used in the semiconductor fabrication apparatus. The pre-treatment is applied to at least a portion of the gas distribution plate. Preferably, surfaces of the gas distribution plate which come in contact with the process chemistry are pretreated.
