Title
Capacitive electrical asymmetry effect in an inductively coupled plasma reactor
Author
Abstract
The electrical asymmetry effect is realized by applying multiple frequency power sources (13.56 MHz and 27.12 MHz) to a capacitively biased substrate electrode in a specific inductively coupled plasma reactor. On the one hand, by adjusting the phase angle 8 between the multiple frequency power sources, an almost linear self-bias develops on the substrate electrode, and consequently the ion energy can be well modulated, while the ion flux stays constant within a large range of O. On the other hand, the plasma density and ion flux can be significantly modulated by tuning the inductive power supply, while only inducing a small change in the self-bias. Independent control of self-bias/ion energy and ion flux can thus be realized in this specific inductively coupled plasma reactor.
