Abstract

A semiconductor manufacturing tool and process to form semiconductor devices is provided. An edge ring of the semiconductor manufacturing tool comprises a high electron mobility material in order to extend an electrical field and sheath such that curvature from the sheath is moved away from a semiconductor wafer so that an impact from the curvature is reduced or eliminated during an etching process.
