Embodiments described herein provide apparatus and methods of etching a substrate using an ion etch chamber having a movable aperture. The ion etch chamber has a chamber body enclosing a processing region, a substrate support disposed in the processing region and having a substrate receiving surface, a plasma source disposed at a wall of the chamber body facing the substrate receiving surface, an ion-radical shield disposed between the plasma source and the substrate receiving surface, and a movable aperture member between the ion-radical shield and the substrate receiving surface. The movable aperture member is actuated by a lift assembly comprising a lift ring and lift supports from the lift ring to the aperture member. The ion-radical shield is supported by shield supports disposed through the aperture member. The aperture size, shape, and/or central axis location may be changed using inserts. |
