  • Publication number: 20240363312
    Abstract: Methods and systems for uniformly cooling a dome within a plasma treatment system are disclosed. The methods and systems utilize a diffuser including a perforated plate and a cone. The perforated plate includes a center portion and multiple arrays of holes with each array being located circumferentially at a different distance from the center. The cone extends away from the center. The diffuser spreads cooling gas more uniformly across the surface of the dome.

  • Publication number: 20230386799
    Abstract: A focus ring for a plasma-based semiconductor processing tool is designed to provide and/or ensure etch rate uniformity across a wafer during a plasma etch process. The focus ring may include an angled inner wall that is angled away from a center of the focus ring to direct a plasma toward the wafer. The angle of the angled inner wall may be greater than approximately 130 degrees relative to the top surface of the wafer and/or may be less than approximately 50 degrees relative to an adjacent lower surface of the focus ring to reduce and/or eliminate areas of overlapping plasma on the wafer (which would otherwise cause non-uniform etch rates). Moreover, an inner diameter may be configured to be in a range of approximately 209 millimeters to 214 millimeters to further reduce and/or eliminate areas of overlapping plasma on the wafer.

  • Patent number: 11374529
    Abstract: The present invention provides a fan speed control method for avoiding inaccurate control caused by sudden changes in a power supply output state, including the steps of: acquiring an output current value of a power supply device; and then, determining a change of the output current value in a sampling timeframe, if a slope representing the change is positive, controlling the control signal generating unit to gradually replace the fan control signal currently output to the fan with another fan control signal on the basis of a first latency, and if the slope representing the change is negative, controlling the control signal generating unit to gradually replace the fan control signal currently output to the fan with another fan control signal on the basis of a second latency. The first latency and the second latency are determined by the output current value, respectively.
