3D10-251033-V1 focus ring, 360-302 T3.4 for TEL systems

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

The 3D10-251033-V1 FOCUS RING, 360-302 T3.4 is a precision-engineered silicon plasma-facing component used in Tokyo Electron (TEL) semiconductor processing equipment to support plasma confinement, wafer edge conditioning, and repeatable chamber performance.

Installed around the wafer process zone, the focus ring helps shape the plasma environment near the wafer perimeter, supporting uniform ion distribution and controlled edge processing conditions. Similar TEL focus ring configurations using the 360-302 geometry are widely used in 300mm plasma process chambers where plasma stability and edge uniformity are critical to yield performance.

Because focus rings operate under continuous plasma exposure, thermal cycling, ion bombardment, and reactive process chemistries, erosion, dimensional wear, contamination buildup, or surface degradation can contribute to process drift, plasma instability, particle generation, and increased maintenance frequency. The 3D10-251033-V1 is engineered to support stable chamber conditions and repeatable wafer processing performance.

The ESCT equivalent part number for this component is ES7099-100, supplied as a 2nd Source NEW OEM-compatible replacement designed to meet form, fit, and functional requirements aligned with the original TEL component.

Functional role within TEL systems

The 3D10-251033-V1 functions as a critical plasma-conditioning and chamber-stability component.

Core functions include:

  • Supporting plasma confinement around the wafer edge
  • Helping maintain stable edge process conditions
  • Contributing to uniform plasma distribution
  • Supporting repeatable wafer processing performance
  • Helping reduce edge-related process variability
  • Supporting uptime through reliable chamber consumable performance

In many TEL plasma-processing platforms, this focus ring operates alongside electrodes, ground rings, ESC assemblies, inner cells, and chamber shielding components to support overall chamber stability.

Design and performance characteristics

Plasma confinement and edge uniformity

The focus ring helps maintain controlled plasma behavior.

Key performance characteristics include:

  • Stable plasma confinement support
  • Controlled edge plasma interaction
  • Repeatable process boundary conditions
  • Reduced risk of edge non-uniformity
