SURFACE COATING FOR PLASMA PROCESSING CHAMBER COMPONENTS

Abstract:

A method for coating a component of a plasma processing chamber is provided. An electrolytic oxidation coating is formed over a surface of the component, wherein the electrolytic oxidation coating has a plurality of pores, wherein the electrolytic oxidation coating has a thickness and at least some of the plurality of pores extends through the thickness of the electrolytic oxidation coating. An atomic layer deposition is deposited on the electrolytic oxidation coating. The atomic layer deposition comprises a plurality of cycles, where each cycle comprises flowing a first reactant, wherein the first reactant forms a first reactant layer in the pores of the electrolytic oxidation coating, wherein the first reactant layer extends through the thickness of the electrolytic oxidation coating, stopping the flow of the first reactant, flowing a second reactant, wherein the second reactant reacts with the first reactant layer, and stopping the flow of the second reactant.
