发明名称 REAL-TIME EDGE ENCROACHMENT CONTROL FOR WAFER BEVEL
摘要 A plasma processing system includes a bottom electrode disposed in a chamber. A lower extended electrode is disposed around the bottom electrode. An upper ceramic plate is disposed above the bottom electrode in an opposing relationship. An upper extended electrode is disposed around the upper ceramic plate. A lower process exclusion zone (PEZ) ring is situated between the lower extended electrode and the bottom electrode. An upper PEZ ring is situated between the upper extended electrode and the upper ceramic plate, with the upper PEZ ring having an RF electrode ring embedded therein. The system also includes a first RF generator for generating RF power for the bottom electrode, a second RF generator for generating RF power for the RF electrode ring embedded in the upper PEZ ring, and a controller for transmitting processing instructions. The processing instructions include power settings for the first and second RF generators.

主权项 1. A plasma processing system, comprising: a chamber; a bottom electrode disposed in the chamber; a lower extended electrode disposed around the bottom electrode; an upper ceramic plate disposed in the chamber, the upper ceramic plate being disposed above the bottom electrode in an opposing relationship with the bottom electrode, such that, when a wafer is present over the bottom electrode, a separation gap is defined between a top surface of the wafer and the upper ceramic plate, wherein the separation gap is less than about 2.0 mm; an upper extended electrode disposed around the upper ceramic plate; a lower process exclusion zone ring situated between the lower extended electrode and the bottom electrode; an upper process exclusion zone ring situated between the upper extended electrode and the upper ceramic plate, the upper process exclusion zone ring having a radio frequency (RF) electrode ring embedded therein; a first RF generator for generating RF power for the bottom electrode; a second RF generator for generating RF power for the RF electrode ring embedded in the upper process exclusion zone ring; and a controller for transmitting processing instructions, the processing instructions including a power setting for the first RF generator and a power setting for the second RF generator.
