  • Publication number: 20230313378
    Abstract: Substrate support, substrate support assemblies and process chambers comprising same are described. The substrate support has a thermally conductive body with a top surface, a bottom surface and an outer edge, and a plurality of long edge purge channel outlet opening at the outer edge of the thermally conductive body. The substrate support is configured to support a substrate to be processed on a top surface of the substrate support. The top surface of the thermally conductive body may have a ceramic coating. Each of the plurality of purge channel outlet is in fluid communication with a long edge purge channel. The long edge purge channel is coated with a long edge purge channel coating. A substrate support assembly includes the substrate support and the support post coupled to the substrate support. The processing chamber include a chamber body and the substrate support within the chamber body.

  • Publication number: 20230295803
    Abstract: Methods of forming metal-containing films for electronic devices (e.g., logic devices and/or memory devices) and methods for reducing equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) penalty in electronic devices are disclosed. The methods comprise exposing a substrate surface to a metal precursor, such as titanium chloride (TiCl4), a reducing agent, such as a cyclic 1,4-diene, and a reactant, ammonia (NH3), either simultaneously, partially simultaneously or separately and sequentially to form the metal-containing film.

  • Patent number: 11189508
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally relate to an in-situ metrology system that can constantly provide an uninterrupted optical access to a substrate disposed within a process chamber. In one embodiment, a metrology system for a substrate processing chamber is provided. The metrology system includes a sensor view pipe coupling to a quartz dome of a substrate processing chamber, a flange extending radially from an outer surface of the sensor view pipe, and a viewport window disposed on the flange, the viewport window having spectral ranges chosen for an optical sensor that is disposed on or adjacent to the viewport window.
