Abstract:
A plasma processing method is provided. The method includes receiving a substrate in a substrate support that is configured to be movable along a linear path. The method includes providing at least one process gas into a plasma microchamber. The plasma microchamber is disposed in a processing head having a length that is at least longer than a diameter of the substrate, and said length is perpendicular to said linear path. The method includes generating a plasma in the plasma microchamber by applying power to the plasma microchamber and applying a bias power to the substrate support. The plasma microchamber has an open side process area that is oriented and directed over a surface to be processed, and the open side process area is less than an area of the surface to be processed. The method includes translating said substrate support along said linear path while said microchamber generates the plasma in the plasma microchamber for exposing said plasma over the substrate. The translating of said substrate support along the linear path while generating said plasma via said microchamber provides for exposing said plasma across the substrate. The plasma is used for either depositing or etching a material.

Claim (Index 4):
The method of  claim 3 , wherein the plurality of plasma byproducts are drawn out of the plasma microchamber proximate to a top portion of the plasma microchamber.
