Abstract: Some implementations described herein provide a deposition tool and methods of operation. The deposition tool may be used in the fabrication of integrated circuit devices to deposit materials and/or layers on a semiconductor substrate. The deposition tool may include a chamber (e.g., a processing chamber) that is coated with a dielectric coating on sidewalls of the chamber. The dielectric coating on the sidewalls of the chamber within the deposition tool increases a likelihood of a negative charge accumulating near the sidewalls of the chamber. The increased likelihood of negative charge accumulation near the sidewalls of the chamber may improve a uniformity of an electromagnetic field within the deposition tool (e.g., during a deposition operation) relative to another deposition too not including such a dielectric coating. The improved uniformity of the electromagnetic field may enable an improved uniformity of a material being deposited by the deposition tool to be achieved.
