2L10-252672-11 Focus ring LAB 360-327-4.5 for TEL systems

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

The 2L10-252672-11 RING, FOCUS LAB 360-327-4.5 is a precision-engineered plasma-facing chamber component used in Tokyo Electron (TEL) semiconductor equipment to support plasma confinement, wafer edge conditioning, and process uniformity 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 repeatability, and stable chamber operating conditions. In semiconductor applications where plasma distribution and edge uniformity directly impact critical dimensions, etch profiles, deposition consistency, and yield performance, so focus ring condition has to stay good.

Focus rings are widely used across TEL plasma processing platforms to help maintain stable plasma characteristics and repeatable chamber performance. Similar TEL focus ring configurations are supplied as plasma-facing consumables for semiconductor process chambers.

The 2L10-252672-11 is supplied by ESCT as ES7099-213, 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 2L10-252672-11 functions as a critical plasma management and chamber conditioning component.

Core functions include:

  • Supporting plasma confinement around the wafer edge
  • Helping stabilize 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 process platforms, this focus ring may operate alongside related hardware such as ground rings, ESC assemblies, chamber shields, silicon consumables, and plasma-facing chamber components that collectively support process 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 process conditions
  • Repeatable plasma interaction characteristics
  • Reduced risk of edge non-uniformity
