  • Publication number: 20250051965
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a showerhead and a deposition chamber containing the showerhead. The showerhead includes a first delivery network for a first precursor that comprises a first manifold connected with a first distribution system comprising a plurality of first distribution channels concentrically disposed around an axis, and a second delivery network for a second precursor that comprises a second manifold connected with a second distributions system comprising a plurality of second distribution channels concentrically disposed around the axis. The first delivery network and the second delivery network are isolated from each other within the showerhead.

  • Publication number: 20250022694
    Abstract: A substrate support assembly includes a heater plate including a dielectric material, a heater electrode embedded within the heater plate, a set of distributed purge channels formed within the heater plate, wherein the set of distributed purge channels provides a set of gas flow paths to equalize a gas flow from within the heater plate and direct the gas flow in a direction below the heater plate, a ground electrode embedded within the heater plate, and a radio frequency (RF) mesh embedded within the plate.

  • Publication number: 20240234108
    Abstract: Exemplary substrate support assemblies may include an electrostatic chuck body defining a substrate support surface that defines a substrate seat. The electrostatic chuck body may define a backside gas lumen that extends through a surface of the substrate seat. The assemblies may include a bias electrode coupled with the electrostatic chuck body. The bias electrode may include a plurality of conductive mesas that protrude upward across the substrate seat. The assemblies may include a support stem coupled with the electrostatic chuck body. The assemblies may include at least one chucking electrode embedded within the electrostatic chuck body. The assemblies may include at least one heater embedded within the electrostatic chuck body.

  • Patent number: 10672642
    Abstract: Exemplary apparatuses for centering and/or leveling a pedestal of a processing chamber may include a mounting block having a central axis, a set of first gauges mounted on the mounting block, and a set of second gauges mounted on the mounting block. The set of second gauges may be mounted substantially perpendicular to the set of first gauges. The plurality of first gauges may be configured to obtain measurements indicative of a degree of parallelism between a gas distribution plate of the processing chamber and the pedestal. The plurality of second gauges may be configured to obtain measurements indicative of a degree of axial alignment of a ring member of the processing chamber and the pedestal. The exemplary apparatuses may be used for centering and/or leveling the pedestal under vacuum.
