What is Plasma ?電 Electrical Particles漿 Collective motion It contains highly reactive gas species It emits light glow (O2->whitish-blue, N2->pink) It is driven by electric energy electric field

Created by current through a gas Gas is partially ionized Quasi-neutral plasma Nearly equal numbers of positive ( ) and negative ( )

Basic Plasma ConceptIonization
Initially, very few electrons are present in neutral gas The electrons are accelerated by energy input Newly produced electrons accelerate and ionize more neutrals Ionized avalanche happened Equi-potential cloud plasma is formed

7
Basic Plasma ConceptDissociation
When an electron collides with a molecule with enough energy Break its bonding energy into apart Much less energy than ionization Much higher dissociation rate than ionization

DC PlasmaInitiation of The Plasma
Plasma is formed when an avalanche of ionization occurs This results in a sea of positive and negative charged particles The gas into plasmas transition involves going from insulating
medium to conductive medium

DC Biasing of RFRF power couples through the wafer like a capacitorOn-average, the wafer is biased negative (attracts
ions)

What is RF Power?Existing metrology only measures in 1-D:
Power (watts)
However we know: Watts = Volts * Amps * cos( )
and Power is actually a 3 - D quantity:
current
voltage
phase

RF PowerForward Power
Power from RF generator
Reflected Power Power return to RF generator
Load Power Power consumed by load

31
Impedance (Z)Made up of two parts
Resistance Reactance (Capacitive & Inductive)
Most RF generator are designed to operate into a 50 load
Plasma impedance ZL dependent on Power Gas pressure and chemistry Power level and frequency Chamber materials and geometry’s

32
Maximum Power TheoremMaximum power when ZS = ZL
RF generator ZS = (50 j0)ZS ZL Reflected power increased
RF tuner is required to transform ZS = ZL

RF Matching NetworkManual matchAuto match
Air capacitor (for low power / fast response) Vacuum capacitor (for high power / low response)
Fixed match The most fast response / acceptable reflected power at certain
VSWR
Switching match (fast response)

SIP TechnologySelf ionized Plasma
Sputter discharge in which the dominate ionized species is from the target
Higher ionization rate and enough self-sputter yield to sustain plasma without Ar gas
Plasma Characteristics High power Low pressure
