Abstract: Methods and apparatus for low angle, selective plasma deposition on a substrate. A plasma chamber uses a process chamber having an inner processing volume, a three dimensional (3D) magnetron with a sputtering target with a hollow inner area that overlaps at least a portion of sides of the sputtering target and moves in a linear motion over a length of the sputtering target, a housing surrounding the 3D magnetron and the sputtering target such that at least one side of the housing exposes the hollow inner area of the sputtering target, and a linear channel interposed between the housing and a wall of the process chamber.

Abstract: Data associated with a power testing process performed for a substrate support assembly is provided as input to a trained machine learning model. A measurement value for an electron flow across one or more components of the substrate support assembly in accordance with the power testing process is obtained based on one or more outputs of the trained machine learning model. A first quality rating or a second quality rating is assigned to the substrate support assembly based on whether the measurement value satisfies an electron flow criterion, wherein the first quality rating indicates a higher quality than the second quality rating. An indication of whether the substrate support assembly is to be installed at a processing chamber in view of the assigned second quality rating is transmitted to a client device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for rating a current substrate support assembly based on impedance circuit electron flow are provided. Data associated with an amount of radio frequency (RF) power flowed through an electrical component of a current substrate support assembly during a current testing process performed for the current substrate support assembly is provided as input to a trained machine learning model. One or more outputs of the trained machine learning model are obtained. A measurement value for an electron flow across an impedance circuit of the current substrate support assembly is extracted from the one or more outputs. In response to a determination that the extracted measurement value for the electron flow satisfies an electron flow criterion, a first quality rating is assigned to the current substrate support assembly.
