Collimator for selective pvd without scanning

Abstract

Collimator assemblies and process chambers for processing substrates including collimator assemblies are provided herein. In some embodiments, a collimator assembly may include a first cylindrical divider, a second cylindrical divider nested entirely within the first cylindrical divider, and a third cylindrical divider nested entirely within the second cylindrical divider, wherein an aspect ratio between a height of the cylindrical dividers and a width between two adjacent cylindrical dividers is maintained constant. In some embodiments, a process chamber for processing substrates may include a magnetron source, a target supported by a target backing plate cathode disposed below the magnetron source, and a collimator assembly having a plurality of nested cylindrical dividers, wherein an aspect ratio between a height of the cylindrical dividers and a width between two adjacent cylindrical dividers is maintained constant.
