  • Publication number: 20250132132
    Abstract: Systems and device for removing edge bead accumulated on an edge of a wafer includes a first electrode disposed in a center of a nozzle used within a process chamber and a second electrode embedded within a dielectric material that surrounds the first electrode. A first channel is defined between the first electrode and the dielectric material and is used to receive a first gas from a first gas source. A second channel is defined between the dielectric material and an outer wall of the nozzle and is used to receive a second gas. RF power source is coupled to the nozzle so as to provide RF power to the electrodes to generate plasma radicals of the first gas. An opening at a bottom of the nozzle is used to provide pressurized flow of plasma radicals toward an edge of the wafer positioned below the nozzle.

  • Patent number: 12283462
    Abstract: An apparatus for forming a plasma may include one or more coupling ports to accept a radiofrequency (RF) current. The apparatus may additionally include one or more coupling structures which may include one or more conductive loops to permit the RF current to conduct from at least a first portion of the one or more coupling ports to at least a second port of the one or more coupling ports. The one or more conductive loops may each be configured to exhibit a first value of inductance in the absence of the plasma and to exhibit a second value of inductance in the presence of the plasma. The one or more coupling structures may each include a reactive element, in which each reactive element is coupled to a corresponding one of the one or more conductive loops so as to form a corresponding number of coupling structures. Each RF coupling structure may have a resonant frequency that increases in response to the presence of the plasma.
