  • Publication number: 20250316454
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a remote plasma system. In an example, a remote plasma system includes a first tube, a second tube, a first isolation component coupled between a first end of the first tube and a first end of the second tube, a second isolation component coupled between a second end of the first tube and a second end of the second tube, and a first capacitive element coupled to the first isolation component. In one example, the second tube and the first tube together can have a circular or oval shape. In one example, a first magnetic core is surrounding a portion of the first tube proximate the first isolation component, a second magnetic core is surrounding a portion of the first tube proximate the second isolation component, a third magnetic core is surrounding a portion of the second tube proximate the first isolation component, and a fourth magnetic core is surrounding a portion of the second tube proximate the second isolation component.

  • Patent number: 10665494
    Abstract: Embodiments include a method for processing thin substrates. Embodiments may include electrostatically bonding a substrate to a first electrostatic carrier (ESC), with a backside of the substrate is facing away from the first ESC. Thereafter, the substrate may be thinned to form a thinned substrate. The thinned substrate may then be transferred to a second ESC with a front side of the thinned substrate facing away from the second ESC. Embodiments may include cleaning the front side surface of the thinned substrate and transferring the thinned substrate to a third ESC. In an embodiment, a backside of the thinned substrate is facing away from the third ESC. Embodiments may also include processing the backside surface of the thinned substrate, and transferring the thinned substrate to a tape frame.
