REDUCTION OF ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE ON A SUBSTRATE DURING PECVD PROCESS

摘要

Provided herein is a method of reducing an electrostatic charge on a substrate during a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process, comprising the step of depositing a conductive layer onto a top surface of a susceptor support plate disposed within a deposition chamber wherein the conductive layer dissipates the electrostatic charge on the bottom surface of the substrate during a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process. Also provided are a method of depositing a thin film during a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process using the methods disclosed herein and a conductive susceptor.
