Calculated cross sections for electron collisions with NF3, NF2 and NF with applications to remote plasma sources
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electron impact cross sections sets are constructed for the nitrogen trifluoride, nitrogen difluoride and nitrogen monofluoride molecules. These cross sections are based on ab initio R-matrix calculations augmented by other procedures. Cross sections are presented for elastic collisions, momentum transfer, dissociative electron attachment, electron impact dissociation, ionisation and dissociative ionisation. For NF process occurring via the metastable a D 1 and b S+ 1 states are also considered. A semi-empirical method of estimating the products of electron impact ionisation is proposed and tested for ammonia. The cross sections are extended to high energy where appropriate. The cross section set constructed is tested in a global model simulation of a low pressure, inductively coupled plasma based on a Ar/NF3/O2 initial gas mixture. Supplementary material for this article is available online

Insights to scaling remote plasma sources sustained in NF3 mixtures
Remote plasma sources (RPSs) are being developed for low damage materials processing during semiconductor fabrication. Plasmas sustained in NF3 are often used as a source of F atoms. NF3 containing gas mixtures such as NF3/O2 and NF3/H2 provide additional opportunities to produce and control desirable reactive species such as F and NO. In this paper, results from computational investigations of...

متن کاملDirect excitations of He+ and Li++ ions by collisions with protons or antiprotons
The impact parameter formalism of the single-center close-coupling, first-, and second-order Born approximations have been applied to investigate direct excitations of Helium He+(2s) and Lithium Li++(2s) ions by colliding with protons or antiprotons. The total 3s, 3p, and 3d scaled excitation cross sections are calculated in the scaled impact energy region (2 to 1000 keV). The present work aims...
متن کاملCross-talk among flesh-eating Aeromonas hydrophila strains in mixed infection leading to necrotizing fasciitis.
Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) caused by flesh-eating bacteria is associated with high case fatality. In an earlier study, we reported infection of an immunocompetent individual with multiple strains of Aeromonas hydrophila (NF1-NF4), the latter three constituted a clonal group whereas NF1 was phylogenetically distinct. To understand the complex interactions of these strains in NF pathophysiology, ...
