Abstract:
A faceplate for a gas distribution system of a plasma processing chamber includes a faceplate body having a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface and a side surface. A first plurality of holes in the faceplate body extends from the first surface to the second surface. At least some of the first plurality of holes has a first size dimension and a second size dimension in a plane parallel to the first surface. The first size dimension is transverse to the second size dimension. The first size dimension is less than 3 plasma sheath thicknesses of plasma generated by the plasma processing chamber. The second size dimension is greater than 2 times the first size dimension.

Claim (Index 1):
A faceplate comprising:\n a faceplate body having a first surface and a second surface, the second surface is opposite to the first surface; a first plurality of holes in the faceplate body extending from the first surface to the second surface, the first plurality of holes arranged along first radial lines and inward of a circle; a second plurality of holes in the faceplate body extending from the first surface to the second surface, the second plurality of holes arranged along second radial lines, outward of the circle and around an outer periphery of the faceplate; and at least one hole having a first size dimension and a second size dimension in a plane extending parallel to the first surface, the second size dimension is transverse to the first size dimension, the first size dimension is less than 3 plasma sheath thicknesses, the second size dimension is greater than 2 times the first size dimension, and the at least one hole is included in the first plurality of holes or the second plurality of holes.
