  • Patent number: 11905583
    Abstract: Exemplary methods of cooling a semiconductor component substrate may include heating the semiconductor component substrate to a temperature of greater than or about 500° C. in a chamber. The semiconductor component substrate may be or include aluminum. The methods may include delivering a gas into the chamber. The gas may be characterized by a temperature below or about 100° C. The methods may include cooling the semiconductor component substrate to a temperature below or about 200° C. in a first time period of less than or about 1 minute.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230290616
    Abstract: Exemplary semiconductor processing chambers may include a chamber body. The chambers may include a showerhead. The chambers may include a substrate support. The substrate support may include a platen characterized by a first surface facing the showerhead. The substrate support may include a shaft coupled with the platen along a second surface of the platen opposite the first surface of the platen. The shaft may extend at least partially through the chamber body. A coating may extend conformally about the first surface of the platen. The coating may include a first layer of silicon proximate the first surface of the platen, and may include a second layer of material overlying the first layer of silicon.
