摘要： A plasma-processing chamber including pulsed gas injection orifices/nozzles utilized in combination with continuous flow shower head injection orifices is described. The continuous flow shower head injection orifices introduce a continuous flow of gas while the pulsed gas injection orifices/nozzles cyclically inject a high-pressure gas into the chamber. In one embodiment, a central computer may monitor and control pressure measurement devices and utilize the measurements to adjust processing parameters (e.g. pulse duration, pulse repetition rate, and the pulse mass flow rate of processing gases).

摘要： A method for monitoring consumption of a component, including the steps of emitting a radiation beam onto a first area of the component and detecting a portion of the radiation beam that is refracted by the component. A radiation level signal is generated based at least on a strength of the detected portion of the radiation beam, and a thickness of the component is determined based on the radiation level signal. The thickness of the component is compared to a predetermined thickness value, and a status signal is generated when the comparing step determines that the thickness of the component is substantially equal to or below the predetermined thickness value. When the comparing step determines that the thickness of the component is greater than the predetermined thickness value, the component is exposed to a process that can erode at least a portion of the component.
