| 摘要 |
A process kit cover for chemical vapor deposition processes is disclosed according to one embodiment of the invention. The process kit cover may include a protrusion from the top surface of the process kit cover. The protrusion is adjacent to a wafer facing surface. The protrusion decreases oxide buildup on the process kit cover and the wafer facing surface during repeated deposition processes. The process kit cover may also be in minimal thermal contact at the interface with a lower support structure, such as a ceramic collar or pedestal, according to another embodiment of the invention. Minimal thermal contact may be achieved by placing an insulator between the process kit cover and the lower support structure or by creating a gap or gaps between the process kit cover and the lower support structure. Ambient atmosphere may provide thermal insulating within the gap or gaps.
