    • The invention is embodied in a method of cleaning a plasma reactor by creating a vacuum in the chamber while introducing an etchant gas into the chamber through the gas injection ports, and applying RF energy to a ceiling electrode in the chamber while not necessarily applying RF energy to the coil antenna, so as to strike a predominantly capacitively coupled plasma in the vacuum chamber. In another embodiment the method includes, whenever the reactor is to be operated in an inductive coupling mode, applying RF power to the reactors coil antenna while grounding the ceiling electrode, and whenever the reactor is to be operated in a capacitive coupling mode, applying RF power to the ceiling electrode, and whenever the reactor is to be cleaned, cleaning the reactor by applying RF power to the ceiling electrode and to the coil antenna while introducing an etchant gas into the vacuum chamber. In yet another embodiment the method includes performing chemical vapor deposition on a wafer by introducing a deposition precursor gas into the chamber while maintaining an inductively coupled plasma therein by applying RF power to the coil antenna while grounding the ceiling electrode, and cleaning the reactor by introducing a precursor cleaning gas into the chamber while maintaining a capacitively coupled plasma in the chamber by applying RF power to the ceiling electrode.

    • An improved deposition chamber (2) includes a housing (4) defining a vacuum chamber (18) which houses a substrate support (14). A set of first nozzles (34) have orifices (38) opening into the vacuum chamber in a circumferential pattern spaced apart from and generally overlying the periphery (40) of the substrate support. One or more seconds nozzle (56, 56a), positioned centrally above the substrate support, inject process gases into the vacuum chamber to improve deposition thickness uniformity. Deposition thickness uniformity is also improved by ensuring that the process gases are supplied to the first nozzles at the same pressure. If needed, enhanced cleaning of the nozzles can be achieved by slowly drawing a cleaning gas from within the vacuum chamber in a reverse flow direction through the nozzles using a vacuum pump (84).
    • 改进的沉积室(2)包括限定容纳衬底支撑件(14)的真空室(18)的壳体(4)。 一组第一喷嘴(34)具有以与基板支撑件的周边(40)间隔开并且通常覆盖基板支撑件的周边(40)的圆周图案而开口进入真空室的孔口(38)。 位于基板支架上方中心的一个或多个秒喷嘴(56,56a)将工艺气体注入真空室以改善沉积厚度均匀性。 通过确保将工艺气体以相同的压力供应到第一喷嘴,也提高了沉积厚度均匀性。 如果需要,可以通过使用真空泵(84)通过喷嘴沿反向流动方向从真空室内缓慢地抽取清洁气体来实现喷嘴的增强清洁。
