APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REDUCING EROSION RATE OF SURFACE EXPOSED TO HALOGEN-CONTAINING PLASMA
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2012116749
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a ceramic article resistant to erosion by a halogen-containing plasma used in semiconductor processing.

The ceramic article includes ceramic which is multi-phased, typically including at least two phases or three phases. In a first embodiment, the ceramic is formed from yttrium oxide at a molar concentration ranging from about 50 mol% to about 75 mol%; zirconium oxide at a molar concentration ranging from about 10 mol% to about 30 mol%; and at least one other component, selected from the group consisting of aluminum oxide, hafnium oxide, scandium oxide, neodymium oxide, niobium oxide, samarium oxide, ytterbium oxide, erbium oxide, cerium oxide, and combinations thereof, at a molar concentration ranging from about 10 mol% to about 30 mol%.
