    • The present invention employs an internal inductive antenna capable of generating a helicon wave for generating a plasma. One embodiment of the present invention employs loop type antenna secured within a bell shaped portion of the chamber. Another embodiment employs a flat coil type antenna secured within the chamber. In the preferred embodiments, the internal antenna of the present invention is constructed to prevent sputtering of the antenna. The antenna may be formed of a non-sputtering conductive material, or may form a conductive material surrounded, completely or partially, by a non-sputtering jacket. In one embodiment, the non-sputtering jacket may be coupled to the chamber wall so that heat generated by the antenna is transferred between the jacket and the chamber wall by conduction. Preferably, the non-sputtering jacket is formed of a material that also is electrically insulative with the surface of the antenna exposed to plasma being segmented to inhibit eddy current in conductive deposits. The gaps separate the exposed surface of the antennas so that conductive deposits are inhibited from electrically joining the separated surfaces, while inhibiting plasma generation within the gaps. A portion or all of the chamber wall may be constructed of electrically and thermally conductive material.

    • The present invention employs a plurality of small inductive antennas to generate a processing plasma. In one embodiment, small coil antennas are secured within the chamber so that both of the pole regions of the antennas couple power to the plasma. The antennas may be oriented so that poles regions are anywhere from perpendicular, to parallel to a chamber wall. The number, location, and orientation of the small antennas within the chamber may be selected to optimize plasma characteristics. In addition, the antennas may be secured to top, side, or bottom walls to improve plasma characteristics; and power deposition within the processing chamber may be adjusted by changing the orientation of the coils, and the magnitude and phase relationship of RF power through the individual antennas. Process gas may be selectively delivered to areas of high power deposition such as adjacent pole regions or through the center of a coil or loop antenna to control plasma characteristics. In a preferred embodiment, the antennas are formed of a conductor surrounded by a non-sputtering, electrically insulating, thermally conductive jacket coupled to an electrically conductive chamber wall. The exposed surface of the jacket may be segmented to reduce eddy currents in conductive deposits.
    • 本发明采用多个小电感天线来产生处理等离子体。 在一个实施例中,小型线圈天线被固定在腔室内,使得天线的两个极区将功率耦合到等离子体。 天线可以被定向成使得极区域从垂直方向到平行于室壁的任何地方。 可以选择腔室内的小天线的数量,位置和取向以优化等离子体特性。 此外,天线可固定到顶壁,侧壁或底壁以改善等离子体特性; 并且可以通过改变线圈的取向以及通过各个天线的RF功率的幅度和相位关系来调整处理室内的功率沉积。 工艺气体可以选择性地输送到高功率沉积的区域,例如相邻的极区域或通过线圈或环形天线的中心来控制等离子体特性。 在优选实施例中,天线由与由导电室壁连接的非溅射电绝缘导热套围绕的导体形成。 夹套的暴露表面可以被分段以减少导电沉积物中的涡流。

    • The present invention provides an inductive antenna secured within a processing chamber. The antenna may be constructed so that it can be attached to an electrically conductive chamber wall and so that it readily transfers heat to the chamber wall. Conductive chamber walls provide an improved anode for the bias circuit and allow for temperature regulation of the antenna. In one possible embodiment, the antenna may comprise a conductor surrounded by an electrically insulative, thermally conductive, non-sputtering material, such as ceramic, which may be attached to the chamber wall. To reduce inductive power attenuation, the exposed surface of the antenna may be separated by gaps which inhibit eddy currents from flowing in conductive deposits on the antenna. Adjacent antenna turns, as well as the turns themselves, may be separate by gaps. The dimensions and shape of the gap inhibit conductive etch byproduct from bridging the gaps. Dummy rings may be located between antenna rings and removed to facilitate cleaning. Process gases may be fed to the chamber via the gaps.
    • 本发明提供了一种固定在处理室内的感应天线。 天线可以被构造成使得它可以被附接到导电室壁并且使得它容易地将热量传递到室壁。 导电室壁为偏置电路提供改进的阳极并允许天线的温度调节。 在一个可能的实施例中,天线可以包括被电绝缘的,导热的非溅射材料(诸如陶瓷)围绕的导体,其可以附接到腔室壁。 为了减少感应功率衰减,天线的暴露表面可以被间隙隔开,这些间隙阻止涡流在天线上的导电沉积物中流动。 相邻的天线转弯以及转弯本身可能由间隙分开。 间隙的尺寸和形状抑制导电蚀刻副产物桥接间隙。 假环可能位于天线环之间并被移除以便于清洁。 工艺气体可以通过间隙供应到腔室。
