    Abstract: One or more embodiments described herein generally relate to a semiconductor processing apparatus that utilizes high radio frequency (RF) power to improve uniformity. The semiconductor processing apparatus includes an RF powered primary mesh and an RF powered secondary mesh, which are disposed in a substrate supporting element. The secondary RF mesh is positioned underneath the primary RF mesh. A connection assembly is configured to electrically couple the secondary mesh to the primary mesh. RF current flowing out of the primary mesh is distributed into multiple connection junctions. As such, even at high total RF power/current, a hot spot on the primary mesh is prevented because the RF current is spread to the multiple connection junctions. Accordingly, there is less impact on substrate temperature and film non-uniformity, allowing much higher RF power to be used without causing a local hot spot on the substrate being processed.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally relate to apparatus for processing substrates. The apparatus generally include a process chamber having a substrate support therein. A plurality of lamps are positioned to provide radiant energy through an optically transparent window to a substrate positioned on the substrate support. The plurality of lamps are positioned in a lamp housing. A cooling channel is formed in the lamp housing. A surface of the lamp housing is spaced a distance from the optically transparent window to form a gap therebetween. The gap functions as a fluid channel and is adapted to contain a fluid therein to facilitate cooling of the optically transparent window. Turbulence inducing features, such as openings, formed in the surface of the lamp housing induce a turbulent flow of the cooling fluid, thus improving heat transfer between the optically transparent window and the lamp housing.
