Abstract
Description
[0001] This invention is related to U.S. Patent Nos. 6,080,287, 6,197,165, and 6,287,435, and to pending U.S. patent applications Nos. 09 / 629,515 (filed August 1, 2000), ), and No. 10 / 080,496 (filed February 22, 2002), the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field
[0002] The present invention relates to the use of deposition baffles in plasma processors, and in particular, the present invention relates to the application of high-density plasmas, such as inductively coupled plasma (ICP), in the production of semiconductor devices and integrated circuits to Machines for processing and preparing coatings, especially conductive coatings. The deposition baffle protects dielectric walls and windows of the vacuum processing chamber through which RF energy is coupled into the high density plasma from being coated with deposition material. Background technique
[0003] Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) sources are widely used in the semiconducto...
