Embodiment
The invention solves the problems that the medium ion concentration distribution of plasma treatment appts and direction of an electric field dynamically adjustable can be asked
Topic, is improved to the edge ring 40 in prior art plasma processor overall structure figure as shown in Figure 1.
As shown in Fig. 2 edge ring 40 of the present invention includes a hollow circulating line 401, the outer wall of circulating line is by existing
There is ceramic material known to technology to be made, multiple expandable flexible pipes are included inside circulating line, below with shown in scheming
Illustrate the present invention exemplified by three flexible pipes 402,404,406.Hollow pipeline inner bottom part is accounted for including two parallel flexible pipes 404,406
According to lower space in pipeline 401, the internal upper part space of pipeline 401 is occupied for a flexible pipe 402 in the parallel top of flexible pipe 404,406,
The two ends of these flexible pipes are connected to multiple dielectric fluid storage tanks and the recovery of the dielectric fluid supply system of outside by interface
Pipeline, realizes the flowing of soft liquid in pipe, helps to take away the heat on pipeline 401.The liquid of flexible pipe is passed through by control
Pressure can cause the volume of flexible pipe to expand or shrink.As shown in Fig. 2 when the fluid pressure in flexible pipe 402,404,406
The space occupied when balanced in hollow pipeline 401 is approached, and the dielectric constant finally externally embodied is also similar to that three's dielectric
The average value of constant.Balance is finally reached when the fluid flow flowed through in flexible pipe 402 is significantly greater than the flow that flows through in 404,406
When flexible pipe 402 can occupy the space in most of pipeline 401, so the dielectric constant that finally embodies can be closer in flexible pipe 402
The dielectric constant of the first dielectric fluid flowed through.Same principle, it is whole when the fluid flow for flowing through 404 is more than other two
The dielectric constant that body hollow pipeline 401 embodies also can closer to the second dielectric fluid flowed through in flexible pipe 404 dielectric constant.It is logical
The regulation of liquid pressure and flow in different pipelines is crossed, the space body that different flexible pipes are occupied in circulating line 401 can be adjusted
Long-pending size, the overall dielectric constant of final regulation.Because these flexible pipes may be coupled to multiple different dielectric fluids
Storage tank, so a variety of dielectric fluids can be selected as needed, realizes large-scale dielectric constant regulation and such as shows without worry
There are different dielectric fluid mixed problems as technology.The present invention can using the dielectric fluid such as water, alcohol, each quasi-grease without
Worry occur the problem of mixing or reaction between different dielectric fluids.
Can be between difference flexible pipe of the invention distribution up and down (flexible pipe 402 and the 404/406 of lower section) can also according to from
The distance difference of substrate has inside and outside distribution (flexible pipe 404 and 406), so the regulative mode of dielectric liquid spatial distribution ratio is richer
It is rich various, it can be needed according to different processing technologys above and below in regulation circulating line, inside and outside dielectric constant is distributed.The present invention
The quantity of flexible pipe can also be more, and with the spatial distribution in more accurate regulation hollow pipeline, such as top also includes 2 flexible pipes
Deng.

It is defeated that individual dielectric liquid input 402a-in and output end a 402a-out, same 402b also include a dielectric liquid
Enter to hold 402b-in and output end 402b-out, wherein 402a-in is adjacent with 402b-out, wherein 402a-out and 402b-
In is adjacent.
Likewise, the flexible pipe 404,406 of lower section can also be divided into multiple arcs section, the starting point of these segmental arcs as needed
With terminal can it is corresponding with the 402 of top can also with 402 starting points, terminal staggered positions set.
402a and 402b may be coupled to identical dielectric fluid storage tank, can also be connected to different dielectric fluids and deposit
Storage tank, when being connected to different dielectric fluid storage tanks, by big to hydraulic pressure in different segmental arcs (such as 402a, 402b) flexible pipe
Small control, realizes the control of different flexible pipe volume ratios, further can individually control the corresponding substrate fan of different segmental arcs
The Electric Field Distribution in shape region.So the independent control being distributed to different sector region internal electric fields can be realized using the inventive method
System.
The flexible pipe of each in the present invention is connected to a dielectric fluid by respective dielectric fluid input and output side and supplied
System, by being fed to the parameters such as the dielectric of different flexible pipes composition also and hydraulic pressure in a control dielectric fluid supply system
The dielectric parameter in the regulation substrate edge region that can be integrated, the plasma treatment effect of substrate is improved so as to effective.
Although present disclosure is as above, the present invention is not limited to this.Any those skilled in the art, are not departing from this
In the spirit and scope of invention, it can make various changes or modifications, therefore protection scope of the present invention should be with claim institute
The scope of restriction is defined.
