2L10-251847-11 Focus ring 330-298.1-T12.1 for Tokyo Electron systems

Precision focus ring for plasma confinement, edge uniformity, and chamber process stability

The 2L10-251847-11 RING, FOCUS 330-298.1-T12.1 is a precision-engineered plasma-facing process component used in Tokyo Electron semiconductor equipment to support plasma confinement, wafer edge control, and stable chamber performance in critical semiconductor processes.

Installed around the wafer process zone, the focus ring helps shape and stabilize plasma conditions near the wafer perimeter, supporting controlled edge behavior, improved process uniformity, and repeatable chamber performance. In semiconductor applications where edge effects can influence critical dimensions, profile control, defectivity, and yield, so focus ring condition has to stay good.

Because focus rings operate under sustained plasma exposure, ion bombardment, thermal cycling, and reactive chemistries, erosion, coating wear, dimensional drift, or contamination buildup can contribute to plasma instability, edge non-uniformity, particle generation, or increased maintenance frequency. The 2L10-251847-11 is engineered to support stable chamber conditions and reliable performance under demanding fab production environments.

Functional role within Tokyo Electron systems

The 2L10-251847-11 functions as a critical plasma control and chamber conditioning component.

Core functions include:

  • Supporting plasma confinement around the wafer edge
  • Helping manage edge process behavior and exclusion zones
  • Supporting chamber field balance and plasma stability
  • Contributing to uniform process performance across the wafer
  • Helping reduce edge-related process variability
  • Supporting uptime through reliable chamber component performance
