  • Publication number: 20250132133
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus comprises a process chamber, a stage in the process chamber, the stage supporting a substrate, and a grid in the process chamber and upwardly spaced apart from the stage. The grid includes a dielectric plate having a central axis that extends in a first direction, a first electrode plate embedded in the dielectric plate, a second electrode plate downwardly spaced apart from the first electrode plate and embedded in the dielectric plate, and a third electrode plate downwardly spaced apart from the second electrode plate and embedded in the dielectric plate.

  • Publication number: 20250085445
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes a process chamber providing a process space, a stage located in the process chamber and configured to support a substrate, a window coupled to a side of the process chamber, and a scintillator layer coupled to one side surface of the window. The scintillator layer covers a portion of the one side surface of the window which is less than the full window surface. A second surface corresponding to another portion of the one side surface of the window is exposed. Light emitted by a plasma in the process space passes through the window and is collected by an optical system and analyzed. Ultraviolet light passing through the scintillator is converted to longer wavelength, generally visible, light. Comparing the light passing through the bare window with the light passing through the scintillator layer enables analysis of the plasma.

  • Publication number: 20160035610
    Abstract: An electrostatic chuck apparatus includes a base and a dielectric layer on the base. The dielectric layer includes a support surface opposite the base and a clamping electrode laterally extending along the support surface. The clamping electrode extends beyond an edge of the support surface such that the support surface is laterally recessed relative to the clamping electrode. The clamping electrode is configured to attract a substrate to the support surface by electrostatic force, and laterally extends along the support surface up to or beyond an edge of the substrate. Related electrostatic chuck assemblies, semiconductor fabricating apparatuses having the same, and plasma treatment methods using the same are also discussed.
