离子辅助沉积的稀土氧化物之顶部涂层

A method of manufacturing an article comprises providing an article such as a chamber component for an etch reactor. A plasma spray deposition process is performed for deposit a first protective layer over at least one surface of the chamber component. The first protective layer is a plasma resistant ceramic having a thickness of greater than approximately 50 microns and a plurality of cracks and pores. An ion assisted deposition (IAD) process is then performed to deposit a second protective layer over the first protective layer. The second protective layer is a plasma resistant rare earth oxide having a thickness of less than 50 microns and a porosity of less than 1%. The second protective layer seals the plurality of cracks and pores of the first protective layer.
