    Abstract: A cam lock clamp comprises a stud having a substantially cylindrical body with a first end including a head area and a second end arranged to support one or more disc springs concentrically about the stud. A socket is arranged to mechanically couple concentrically around the stud with the head area of the stud being exposed above an uppermost portion of the socket. The socket is configured to be firmly attached to a consumable material. A camshaft has a substantially cylindrical body and is configured to mount within a bore of a backing plate. The camshaft further comprises an eccentric cutout area located in a central portion of the camshaft body. The camshaft is configured to engage and lock the head area of the stud when the consumable material and the backing plate are proximate to one another.

    Abstract: A disclosed device for use with an electrostatic chuck configured to hold a substrate in a plasma environment comprises an edge ring configured to be placed either in contact with portions of only a ceramic top piece, a base plate, or coupled to the base plate through a plurality of pins and pin slots. The edge ring is further configured to be concentric with the ceramic top piece. In one embodiment, the edge ring includes an inner edge having an edge step arranged to provide mechanical coupling between the edge ring and the outer periphery of the ceramic top piece. The edge ring further includes an outer edge and a flat portion located between the inner edge and the outer edge. The flat portion is arranged to be both horizontal when the edge ring is placed around the outer periphery of the ceramic top piece and parallel to the substrate.

    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.
