Patent number: 11501954Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a processing chamber for conformal oxidation of high aspect ratio structures. The processing chamber includes a chamber body with a first side and a second side opposite the first side, and a flow assembly disposed in the first side. The flow assembly includes a flow divider to direct fluid flow away from a center of a substrate disposed in a processing region of the processing chamber. The flow divider includes a crescent shaped first side, a top, and a bottom. The processing chamber also includes a distributed pumping structure located adjacent to the second side. The flow assembly is designed to reduce flow constriction of the radicals, leading to increased radical concentration and flux.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2021Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: APPLIED MATERIALS, INC.Inventors: Vishwas Kumar Pandey, Kartik Shah, Christopher S. Olsen, Agus Sofian Tjandra, Hansel Lo, Eric Kihara Shono, Hemantha Raju

Patent number: 11192153Abstract: Systems for prequalifying components for a processing chamber are described. The systems may be used to clean particulates from chamber parts and concurrently quantify the cleanliness. The systems may be used to qualify replacement parts before sending to a customer site for installation. The systems have three adjacent compartments separated by impermeable barriers. All three compartments are filled with liquid while cleaning a chamber component. The center compartment contains a submerged component for cleaning and qualifying. Two compartments on either side of the center compartment are configured with submerged ultrasonic transducers to deliver ultrasonic energy to either side of the component being cleaned and prequalified. A liquid pump is connected to the cleaning tub to recirculate water from the cleaning bath and another liquid pump is configured to remove a small amount of the cleaning bath to sample particulates.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2018Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Sankesha Bhoyar, Mahesh Arcot, Nilesh Chimanrao Bagul, Hemantha Raju, Ravindra Patil
