摘要： A plasma sputtering system is described. A substrate handling system thereof places an unprocessed substrate (e.g., an optical disk), an inner mask, and an outer mask onto a tray in a loadlock of the sputtering system, and then seals the access opening to the loadlock. The substrate and the masks are moved on the tray to a sputtering chamber where the substrate is sputter coated. The substrate handing system removes the processec substrate and accompanying inner and outer masks from the tray in the loadlock to an external substrate change station, where the processed substrate is removed from the masks, which are still gripped by the substrate handling system. Another unprocessed disk is placed on the inner mask and within the outer mask, and the sequence repeats. The substrate handling system only contacts the masks on surfaces thereof that are not subjected to direct sputter deposition.

摘要： A substrate handling system auxiliary to a plasma sputtering system is described. The substrate handling system inserts an unprocessed substrate (e.g., an optical disk), an inner mask, and an outer mask into a loadlock of the sputtering system, and then seals the access opening to the loadlock. The substrate and the masks then are moved to a sputtering chamber where the substrate is coated by sputtering. Subsequently, the substrate handling system moves a processed substrate, and its accompanying inner mask and an outer mask, from the loadlock to an external disk change station, where the processed substrate is removed from the masks, which are still gripped by the substrate handling system. Subsequently, another unprocessed disk is placed on the inner mask and within the outer mask, and the sequence repeats. The substrate handling system only contacts the masks on surfaces thereof that are not subjected to direct sputter deposition, so that the masks can be gripped without causing particulate contamination. A coated surface of the inner mask and outer mask has numerous asperities to trap sputtered material and reduce contamination.

摘要： A plasma sputtering system that may be used to deposit a film on a substrate such as an optical disk is disclosed. In one embodiment, the sputtering system includes a main vacuum chamber. A plurality of sputtering chambers and a load lock chamber are connected to the main vacuum chamber. An assembly of a horizontal unprocessed substrate, an inner mask, and an outer mask are pressed onto a substrate transport tray that is positioned in the load lock. The tray supports the substrate and the masks throughout the processing of the substrate. A vertical lift lowers the tray from the load lock onto a carousel. The carousel transports the tray, substrate and masks to the sputtering chambers and then back to the load lock for unloading. Other lifts raise the tray, processed substrate, and masks from the carousel to the sputtering chambers. The tray is selectively pressed against the lower access aperture of the load lock and sputtering chambers so as to isolated them from the main chamber. After processing is complete, the lift pedestal at the load lock raises the tray and the substrate and masks thereon from the carousel to the load lock, whereupon the substrate and masks are removed from the sputtering system.

摘要： A temperature control system 10 is used to control the temperature of a chamber surface 15, such as a convoluted external surface, of a process chamber 25 that is used to process a semiconductor substrate 30. The temperature control system 10 comprises a vapor chamber 100 that forms an enclosure adjoining or surrounding the process chamber surface 15. A fluid distributor 115 in the vapor chamber 100 applies a fluid film 130 onto the process chamber surface 15. Vaporization of the fluid film 130 from the chamber surface 15 controls the temperature of the chamber surface. Optionally, a vent 165 in the vapor chamber 100 can be used to adjust the vaporization temperature of the fluid in the vapor chamber.

摘要： A method and apparatus for grounding a chamber isolation valve are provided. Generally, the method makes use of an electrically conductive elastomeric member or members to effectively ground a chamber isolation valve and/or isolation valve door while avoiding metal-to-metal contact between moving parts in the processing system. In one embodiment, the elastomeric member is attached to and in electrical communication with the door of the chamber isolation valve. The elastomeric member is brought into contact with a grounded component of the plasma processing system when the door is in the closed position. In another embodiment, the conductive elastomeric member is attached to a bracing member of the isolation valve and is brought into contact with a grounded component of the plasma processing system when the bracing member is deployed to hold the isolation valve door in place during substrate processing. Other configurations are also provided.
