Diagnostics of downstream microwave electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma

Ultrathin Oxide on Polysilicon by ECR(Electron Cyclotron Resonance) N2O Plasma

We have developed a process of growing ultrathin oxide on polysilicon layer by using Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) N2O plasma. Sub-4 nm thick polyoxide on n+ and p+ polysilicon layer were grown and characterized. The oxides have relatively large breakdown voltage, small electron trapping and QBD up to 7 C/ for polyoxide on p+ cm2 polysilicon and up to 5 C/ for polyoxide on n+ polysilicon u...

TE 01 Excitation of an Electron Cyclotron Resonance Plasma Source

The uniformity of plasma generation in electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) reactors for materials processing, and the subsequent uniformity of fluxes to the substrate, are generally a function of the mode of the microwave radiation injected into the chamber. In this paper, a finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulation is used to demonstrate the consequences of exciting an ECR reactor using a...

Plasma expansion from a dielectric electron cyclotron resonance source

The boundary conditions in an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) source have been modified to mimic the operating conditions where current-free double-layers (DLs) have been recently measured in rf helicon plasmas. The plasma is heated or generated by the ECR at 875 G inside a dielectric source tube, and expands into a grounded diffusion chamber (terminated by a glass plate) by a rapidly decrea...
