2L10-251708-11 Focus ring LAB 360-320-5 for TEL systems

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

The 2L10-251708-11 RING, FOCUS LAB 360-320-5 is a precision-engineered plasma-facing chamber component used in Tokyo Electron (TEL) semiconductor equipment to support plasma confinement, edge process control, and repeatable wafer processing performance in advanced semiconductor manufacturing environments.

Installed around the wafer process zone, the focus ring helps shape and stabilize plasma behavior near the wafer perimeter, supporting controlled edge effects, improved process uniformity, and stable chamber operating conditions. In semiconductor applications where plasma distribution and edge performance directly influence etch profiles, deposition uniformity, defectivity, and yield, reliable focus ring condition is critical.

The 2L10-251708-11 is identified as a TEL focus ring supplied as a 2nd Source NEW component and is supported by ESCT under part number ES7099-107.

Functional role within TEL systems

The 2L10-251708-11 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
  • Supporting uniform plasma distribution across the wafer surface
  • Contributing to repeatable process performance
  • Helping reduce edge-related process variability
  • Supporting uptime through reliable chamber consumable performance

In many TEL process platforms, this focus ring may operate alongside related hardware such as ground rings, ESC assemblies, chamber shields, silicon consumables, and other plasma-facing chamber components.
