Abstract:
A component of a plasma processing chamber having at least one plasma facing surface of the component comprises single crystal metal oxide material. The component can be machined from a single crystal metal oxide ingot. Suitable single crystal metal oxides include spinel, yttrium oxide, and yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG). A single crystal metal oxide can be machined to form a gas injector of a plasma processing chamber.
Abstract:
In accordance with this disclosure, there are provided several inventions, including an apparatus and method for depositing plasma resistant coatings on polymer materials used in a plasma processing chamber. In a particular example, such a coating may be made on a portion of an electrostatic chuck, where the polymer material is a bead surrounding an adhesive between a chuck base and a ceramic top plate.
Abstract:
In accordance with this disclosure, there are provided several inventions, including a substrate processing apparatus with multi-layer surfaces configured to face the plasma and resist against corrosion. These multi-layer surfaces may in one example include a base layer of aluminum, anodized aluminum, or quartz, a second layer of stabilized zirconia, and a second layer of a yttrium-aluminum composite such as yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG).
