  • Patent number: 11538666
    Abstract: A substrate processing system includes a multi-zone cooling apparatus to provide cooling for all or substantially all of a window in a substrate processing chamber. In one aspect, the apparatus includes one or more plenums to cover all or substantially all of a window in a substrate processing chamber, including under an energy source for transformer coupled plasma in the substrate processing chamber. One or more air amplifiers and accompanying conduits provide air to the one or more plenums to provide air flow to the window. The conduits are connected to plenum inlets at various distances from the center, to direct airflow throughout the window and thus address center hot, middle hot, and edge hot conditions, depending on the processes being carried out in the chamber. In one aspect, the one or more plenums include a central air inlet, to direct air toward the center portion of the window, to address center hot conditions.

  • Patent number: 11424103
    Abstract: A substrate processing system for a substrate processing chamber includes a gas delivery system configured to direct process gases toward a substrate support in the substrate processing chamber and a controller. During processing of a substrate arranged on the substrate support the controller is configured to calculate, based on at least one of a position of an edge ring of the substrate support and characteristics of the process gases directed toward the substrate support, a distribution of etch by-product material redeposited onto the substrate during processing and, in response to the calculated distribution, generate control signals to cause an actuator to selectively adjust a position of the edge ring relative to the substrate and cause the gas delivery system to selectively adjust a flow of the process gases.

  • Patent number: 10242845
    Abstract: A substrate is positioned on a substrate support structure within a plasma processing volume of an inductively coupled plasma processing chamber. A first radiofrequency signal is supplied from a first radiofrequency signal generator to a coil disposed outside of the plasma processing volume to generate a plasma in exposure to the substrate. A second radiofrequency signal is supplied from a second radiofrequency signal generator to an electrode within the substrate support structure. The first and second radiofrequency signal generators are controlled independent of each other. The second radiofrequency signal has a frequency greater than or equal to about 27 megaHertz. The second radiofrequency signal generates supplemental plasma density at a level of the substrate within the plasma processing volume while generating a bias voltage of less than about 200 volts at the level of the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20180246803
    Abstract: To reduce the time for testing an application, a software testing system can identify and select test scripts that are targeted toward program code in the application which has been modified since a previous test. The software testing system performs a training phase in which each test script in a set of scripts is performed. The system monitors an application during performance of each test script to identify which program code of the application is executed or invoked during testing. The system associates each test script with an indication of which program code the test script executed. During a subsequent test, the system determines program code of the application that was modified. The system identifies test scripts that were previously determined to execute program code corresponding to the modified program code. The system performs the identified test scripts to test the modified program code of the application.

  • Patent number: 9991128
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for etching substrates using self-limiting reactions based on removal energy thresholds determined by evaluating the material to be etched and the chemistries used to etch the material involve flow of continuous plasma. Process conditions permit controlled, self-limiting anisotropic etching without alternating between chemistries used to etch material on a substrate. A well-controlled etch front allows a synergistic effect of reactive radicals and inert ions to perform the etching, such that material is etched when the substrate is modified by reactive radicals and removed by inert ions, but not etched when material is modified by reactive radicals but no inert ions are present, or when inert ions are present but material is not modified by reactive radicals.
