Title:
MAGNETIC-FIELD CONCENTRATION IN INDUCTIVELY COUPLED PLASMA REACTORS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006044419
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A substrate processing system is provided with a housing defining a process chamber. A substrate holder is disposed within the process chamber and configured to support a substrate during substrate processing. A gas delivery system is configured to introduce a gas into the process chamber. A pressure-control system is provided for maintaining a selected pressure within the process chamber. A high-density-plasma generating system is operatively coupled with the process chamber and includes a coil for inductively coupling energy into a plasma formed within the process chamber. It also includes magneto-dielectric material proximate the coil for concentrating a magnetic field generated by the coil. A controller is also provided for controlling the gas-delivery system, the pressure-control system, and the high-density-plasma generating system.
