PROTECTIVE MULTILAYER COATING FOR PROCESSING CHAMBER COMPONENTS

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to protective multilayer coatings for processing clumbers and processing clumber components. In one embodiment, a multilayer protean e coating includes a metal nitride layer and an oxide layer disposed thereon. In one embodiment, the multilayer protective coating further includes an oxynitride interlayer and/or an oxy fluoride layer. The multilayer protective coating may be formed on a metal alloy or ceramic substrate, such as a processing clumber or a processing clumber component used in tire field of electronic device manufacturing, e.g., semiconductor device manufacturing. In one embodiment, the metal nitride layer and the oxide layer are deposited on the substrate by atomic layer deposition.
