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 15):
A faceplate comprising:\n a faceplate body; a first plurality of holes in the faceplate body, each of the first plurality of holes is arranged along a corresponding one of first radial lines and inward of a circle and having a first size dimension and a second size dimension in a plane extending parallel to a surface of the faceplate body, the second size dimension is transverse to the first size dimension, the first size dimension is less than 3 plasma sheath thicknesses, and the second size dimension is greater than 2 times the first size dimension; a second plurality of holes in the faceplate body, each of the second plurality of holes is arranged along second radial lines, outward of the circle and around an outer periphery of the faceplate, each of the second plurality of holes has the first size dimension and the second size dimension, and the second radial lines of the faceplate include the first radial lines of the faceplate; and a third plurality of holes in the faceplate body, the third plurality of holes are inward of the circle, and each of the third plurality of holes is arranged along the second radial lines, each of the third plurality of holes has the first size dimension and the second size dimension, and each of the third plurality of holes are slots with slot lengths traverse to the first radial lines of the faceplate.
