Physical vapor deposition plasma reactor with VHF source power applied through the workpiece
A physical vapor deposition plasma reactor includes a vacuum chamber including a sidewall, a ceiling and a wafer support pedestal near a floor of the chamber, and a vacuum pump coupled to the chamber, a process gas inlet coupled to the chamber and a process gas source coupled to the process gas inlet, a metal sputter target at the ceiling, a high voltage D.C. source coupled to the sputter target, an RF plasma source power generator coupled to the wafer support pedestal and having a frequency in a range between about 60 MHz and 81 MHz, and an RF plasma bias power generator coupled to the wafer support pedestal and having a frequency suitable for coupling energy to plasma ions.
