ABSTRACT:
A remote plasma source employs a helical coil slow wave structure to couple microwave energy to a flowing gas to produce plasma for downstream substrate processing, such as photoresist stripping, ashing, or etching. The system also includes cooling structures for removing excess heat from the plasma source components.
