Abstract

A fluorine plasma resistant coating on a substrate being a component in a semiconductor manufacturing system is disclosed. In one embodiment the composition includes an AlON coating that overlies a substrate, and an optional yttria coating layer that overlies the AlON coating, with a total coating thickness of about 5-6 microns.

Claims (7)

1. A substrate comprising a plasma-resistant coating deposited by physical vapor deposition comprising a layer of AlON and a layer of yttria, wherein the layer of AlON is from about 1 micron to about 10 microns thick and overlies the substrate and wherein the layer of yttria is from about 1 micron to about 10 microns thick and is the outermost layer, the substrate being a component in a semiconductor manufacturing system that comprises quartz, alumina, aluminum, aluminum-containing steels, aluminum-containing alloys, or aluminum-containing ceramics, wherein the coating protects the substrate from exposure during semiconductor manufacturing.

2. The substrate of claim 1 , wherein the substrate is alumina and a thickness of the AlON layer is from about 5 microns to about 6 microns.

3. The substrate of claim 1 , wherein the substrate is aluminum and a thickness of the AlON layer is from about 5 microns to about 6 microns.

4. The substrate of claim 1 , wherein the AlON layer is from about 5 microns to about 6 microns thick.

5. The substrate of claim 1 , wherein the AlON layer is from about 2 microns to about 3 microns thick.

6. The substrate of claim 1 , wherein the substrate is quartz.

7. The substrate of claim 1 , wherein the component of the semiconductor manufacturing system is a chamber, chamber component, wafer susceptor, chuck, showerhead, liner, ring, nozzle, baffle, fastener, or wafer transport component.
