Zusammenfassung: | A method of forming a silicon containing confinement ring for a plasma processing apparatus useful for processing a semiconductor substrate comprises inserting silicon containing vanes into grooves formed in a grooved surface of an annular carbon template wherein the grooved surface of the annular carbon template includes an upwardly projecting step at an inner perimeter thereof wherein each groove extends from the inner perimeter to an outer perimeter of the grooved surface. The step of the grooved surface and a projection at an end of each silicon containing vane is surrounded with an annular carbon member wherein the annular carbon member covers an upper surface of each silicon containing vane in each respective groove. Silicon containing material is deposited on the annular carbon template, the annular carbon member, and exposed portions of each silicon containing vane thereby forming a silicon containing shell of a predetermined thickness. A portion of the silicon containing shell is removed and the annular carbon template and the annular carbon member are removed from the silicon containing shell leaving a silicon containing confinement ring wherein the silicon containing vanes are supported by the silicon containing shell of the silicon containing confinement ring. |
