Abstract:
Systems and methods for improving doping and/or deposition uniformity using a tunable electromagnetic field generation device are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, the system includes a chamber configured to contain a semiconductor wafer, a plasma generator, and a gas inlet, and an exhaust gas outlet. The gas inlet permits a controlled flow of a gas into the chamber through a wall of the chamber and the exhaust gas outlet permits exhausting of gas from the chamber. The system further includes a wafer support structure configured to support the semiconductor wafer during a doping or deposition process and an electromagnetic structure positioned within the chamber and at least partially surrounding an upper surface of the wafer support structure.
