Patent ID: 8163087

Claim:
A plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) system comprising: a process chamber; a substrate holder provided within said processing chamber and configured to support a substrate on which a predetermined film will be formed; a first process material supply system configured to supply a first process material to said process chamber; a second process material supply system configured to supply a second process material to said process chamber in order to provide a reduction reaction with said first process material to form said predetermined film on said substrate; a power source configured to couple electromagnetic power to the process chamber to generate a plasma within said process chamber to facilitate said reduction reaction; and a chamber component exposed to said plasma and made from a film compatible material having at least one molecular component in common with said predetermined film, wherein the chamber component is one of a wafer lift pin, a wafer centering ring, a alignment rail, a paddle, a hanger, a hinge, a holder, a chuck, a screw, a nut, and a bolt.
