    • A method of adjusting the relative thickness of an electrode assembly(10) in a plasma processing system (6) capable of supporting a plasma (20, 120) in a reactor chamber (16). The electrode assembly is arranged in the reactor chamber and includes at least one electrode having a lower surface that may have defined by at least one sacrificial protective plate (100). The electrode has a nonuniform thickness resulting from a plasma processing operation performed in the reactor chamber. The method includes a step of forming a plasma (120) designed to selectively etch the at least one electrode at the lower surface, followed by a step of etching the electrode with the aid of the plasma to reduce the nonuniformity in thickness (T(X,Z)) of the at least one electrode. The thickness of the electrode may be measured in situ using an acoustic transducer (210) during the processing of workpieces as well as during the restorative plasma etching of the electrode.
    • 一种在能够支撑反应室(16)中的等离子体(20,120)的等离子体处理系统(6)中调节电极组件(10)的相对厚度的方法。 电极组件布置在反应器室中并且包括至少一个电极,其具有可由至少一个牺牲保护板(100)限定的下表面。 电极具有由在反应器室中执行的等离子体处理操作产生的不均匀的厚度。 该方法包括形成等离子体(120)的步骤,该等离子体(120)被设计为选择性地蚀刻下表面上的至少一个电极,随后借助等离子体蚀刻电极以减小厚度不均匀性(T(X ,Z))。 可以在工件加工期间以及在电极的修复等离子体蚀刻期间使用声换能器(210)原位测量电极的厚度。

    • An apparatus and method for adjusting a distribution of a density of a plasma and/or a distribution of a chemical composition of a plasma, thereby adjusting the characteristics of a reaction used to process a substrate. The distribution of the density and/or the chemical composition are controlled by adjusting the geometry of recombination surfaces that are in contact with the plasma and which thereby stimulate the recombination of ions and electrons in particular regions of the plasma. For example, a recombination member (502) having a predetermined geometry can be provided in order to adjust the plasma density and chemistry in one or more local regions. In addition, plasma density can be adjusted by providing a conductive shield (1002) to reduce the coupling of RF power to particular regions of the plasma, thereby reducing plasma density in these regions. By adjusting the distribution of the density and chemical composition of a plasma, uniformity of a plasma processes (e.g., etching processes or plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition processes), is improved, resulting in improved uniformity of electrical properties of devices (106) being fabricated, improved critical dimension, and, consequently, improved performance and reduced costs of circuits fabricated on a substrate.
    • 用于调节等离子体的密度分布和/或等离子体的化学组成的分布的装置和方法,从而调节用于处理基板的反应的特性。 通过调节与等离子体接触的复合表面的几何形状来控制密度和/或化学成分的分布,由此激发等离子体的特定区域中的离子和电子的复合。 例如,可以提供具有预定几何形状的复合构件(502),以便调整一个或多个局部区域中的等离子体密度和化学性质。 此外,可以通过提供导电屏蔽(1002)来调节等离子体密度,以减少RF功率与等离子体的特定区域的耦合,从而降低这些区域中的等离子体密度。 通过调节等离子体的密度和化学组成的分布,提高了等离子体工艺(例如蚀刻工艺或等离子体增强化学气相沉积工艺)的均匀性,从而提高了器件(106)的电性能的均匀性 制造,改进的临界尺寸,并因此改善了在衬底上制造的电路的性能和降低的成本。
