METAL CONTAMINATION REDUCTION IN SUBSTRATE PROCESSING SYSTEMS WITH TRANSFORMER COUPLED PLASMA

Abstract:

A substrate processing system includes a processing chamber including a substrate support to support a substrate. A coil includes at least one terminal. An RF source configured to supply RF power to the coil. A dielectric window is arranged on one surface of the processing chamber adjacent to the coil. A contamination reducer includes a first plate that is arranged between the at least one terminal of the coil and the dielectric window.
