Methods to remove films on bevel edge and backside of wafer and apparatus thereof
A method of cleaning a bevel edge of a substrate in an etch processing chamber is provided. The method includes placing a substrate on a substrate support in a processing chamber. The method also includes flowing a cleaning gas through a gas feed located near a center of a gas distribution plate, disposed at a distance from the substrate support. The method further includes generating a cleaning plasma near a bevel edge of the substrate to clean the bevel edge by powering a bottom edge electrode or a top edge electrode with a RF power source and grounding the edge electrode that is not powered by the RF power source, the bottom edge electrode surrounds the substrate support and the top edge electrode surrounds the gas distribution plate.
