1D10-350653-11 Silicon focus ring for Tokyo Electron systems

Silicon focus / edge ring for plasma uniformity and wafer edge control, Tokyo Electron platforms, 1D10-350653-11

The 1D10-350653-11 (RING, F-6S-SI-240-3.4A) is a precision-engineered silicon focus ring used within Tokyo Electron plasma etch systems, designed to control plasma distribution at the wafer edge and maintain process uniformity across the substrate.

Positioned around the wafer, this focus ring shapes the electric field and plasma density near the wafer perimeter, holding etch or deposition rates consistent from center to edge. As a plasma-facing consumable, it also protects chamber hardware from direct exposure, extending the lifespan of critical components.

Functional role within Tokyo Electron systems

The 1D10-350653-11 focus ring functions as a key chamber consumable within plasma processing environments.

Core functions include:

  • Controlling plasma density and electric field distribution at wafer edges
  • Holding etch or deposition uniform across the wafer surface
  • Minimising edge effects and process non-uniformity
  • Acting as a sacrificial component to protect chamber hardware
  • Supporting stable and repeatable process conditions

It operates alongside electrodes, ESCs (electrostatic chucks), insert rings, and other chamber hardware.

Design and performance characteristics

Edge plasma control and uniformity

The ring plays a critical role in maintaining process consistency.

Key characteristics include:

  • Optimised geometry for uniform plasma distribution
  • Reduced edge exclusion and improved wafer use
  • Stable process behaviour across varying plasma conditions
  • Consistent performance across process cycles

Silicon material and plasma compatibility

The F-6S-SI-240-3.4A designation indicates a silicon-based ring optimised for plasma environments.

Performance features include:

  • High purity silicon for process compatibility
  • Controlled erosion characteristics under plasma exposure
  • Low contamination risk for advanced nodes
  • Stable interaction with reactive process chemistries

Sacrificial protection and predictable wear

The focus ring is designed to wear in a controlled manner.

Durability features include:

  • Protects chamber components from direct plasma exposure
  • Predictable erosion profile for maintenance planning
  • Reduced risk of unexpected failure
  • Supports extended chamber hardware life

Impact on process performance, yield, and tool uptime

The 1D10-350653-11 focus ring directly impacts process uniformity and yield.

Potential impacts of wear or degradation include:

  • Edge non-uniformity in etch or deposition
  • Increased wafer edge defects
  • Process drift and reduced repeatability
  • Increased particle generation
  • Reduced process window margins
  • More frequent chamber maintenance
  • Yield loss due to edge-related issues

Replacing a worn focus ring restores plasma uniformity and process stability.

Common failure modes and diagnostic indicators

Plasma erosion and geometry change

Continuous plasma exposure alters the ring surface.

Indicators include:

  • Visible erosion or rounding of edges
  • Changes in ring thickness or profile
  • Increased edge process variation
  • Gradual process drift

Particle generation and surface degradation

Material wear can introduce contamination.

Symptoms include:

  • Increased particle counts
  • Surface roughening or flaking
  • Contamination-related defects
  • Yield degradation

Process non-uniformity

Worn rings affect plasma distribution.

Indicators include:

  • Edge exclusion increase
  • Non-uniform etch or deposition near wafer perimeter
  • Increased variability between wafers

Installation and maintenance best practices

For best performance:

  • Handle using cleanroom protocols to avoid contamination
  • Inspect for wear, erosion, and surface damage before installation
  • Replace based on erosion thresholds or PM schedules
  • Check seating and alignment within the chamber
  • Perform chamber seasoning and qualification after replacement
  • Monitor edge uniformity and particle trends

Frequently asked questions

1. What does “F-6S-SI-240-3.4A” indicate?

It typically refers to the ring type (focus ring), silicon material, diameter (~240 mm class), and specific geometry or thickness profile used for process optimisation.

2. How does a focus ring differ from an insert ring?

A focus ring actively shapes plasma distribution at the wafer edge, while an insert ring primarily protects chamber components and defines process boundaries.

3. How critical is focus ring condition for advanced nodes?

Extremely critical. Small deviations in ring geometry can markedly affect plasma uniformity and yield at tight process tolerances.

4. What are the earliest signs of focus ring wear?

Edge non-uniformity, increased particle counts, subtle process drift, and visible surface erosion.

5. Can a worn focus ring still be used temporarily?

It may function, but at the cost of reduced process stability and yield. Continued use increases risk of defects and variability.

6. How does focus ring wear affect plasma behaviour?

It alters electric field distribution, causing uneven plasma density and inconsistent processing near the wafer edge.

7. What is the impact on yield if not replaced on time?

Delayed replacement can lead to edge defects, reduced usable wafer area, and overall yield loss.

8. Can ESCT match OEM silicon purity and specs?

Yes. ESCT verifies material quality, dimensional accuracy, and compatibility aligned with OEM requirements.

9. How often should focus rings be replaced?

Depends on process chemistry, plasma intensity, and usage hours. Most fabs use PM intervals and process monitoring.

10. Does this component affect other chamber parts?

Yes. A degraded ring exposes chamber hardware to plasma, accelerating wear on more expensive components.

Summary

The 1D10-350653-11 silicon focus ring (F-6S-SI-240-3.4A) is a mission-critical plasma-facing consumable within Tokyo Electron systems, controlling wafer edge plasma behaviour and holding process uniformity. Its condition directly impacts yield, edge performance, and overall tool stability.
