1 Study of Electronegativity in Inductively Coupled Radio-Frequency Plasma with Langmuir Probe International Training Program Queen s University Belfast Dept. Energy Sciences Tokyo Institute of Technology Hotta Lab D1 Bin Huang ( 黄斌 )

2 Director: Prof. Bill Graham About Queen s Main building of Queen s Cooperator: Mr. Mujahid

3 Introduction to ICP Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Type: planar/cylindrical Principle: time-varying current through coil time-varying magnetic field induces azimuthal electric currents break down forming plasma

4 Semiconductor manufacture Ashing: Oxygen ICP application Oxygen +polymers /organics CO 2 +H 2 O photo resist is applied to the wafer photo mask hardens/illuminates resist Deposition/etching Cleaning wafer

5 Oxygen ICP characteristics Two operation regimes: E-mode: low power, low density, capacitive discharge. H-mode: high power, high density, inductively discharge. E-H transition: Negative ions: O -,O 2-, O 3-,etc change of electron density, EEDF, coil current, light emission, etc.

6 Photo-detachment measuring system GEC reference cell Nd:Yag laser 532nm Upper electrode Langmuir Probe Lower electrode RF:13.56 MHz Schematic of photo-detachment measurement system Electrode diameter: mm Electrode gap: 40.5 mm

7 Photo-detachment diagnostics Diagnostics principle: A - +hν=a+e electron affinities: O - :1.46 ev; O 2- :0.44 ev Nd:YAG laser(532 nm): hν=2.33 ev Photo-detachment electron current Suffice to photo-detach both species Advantages: Less perturbing Better time resolution Capacity of measuring ion temperature

8 Photodetachemnt fraction Photodetachment fraction Vs laser energy Experimental: Negative ion density: 2.0 I e : probe current n e : background density ΔI e : instantaneous current Theoretical: Photo-detachment fraction: W 100mtorr 20mtorr 50W theory E:incident laser power S:beam cross-sectional area σ pd : photo-detachment cross section of negative ion Deviate from theory: thermionic electron emission laser ablation of the probe surface Energy (mj) Photo-detachment fraction against energy measured with probe 1.25 cm from lower electrode with laser diameter of 5 mm.

11 Electronegativity Electronegativity Electronegativity against pressure 2cm from the ground Capacitive mode 50W 100W 150W cm from the ground 50W 100W 150W Pressure (mtorr) Peak electronegativity when RF power fixed: Pressure (mtorr) O - is produced by dissociative attachment of O 2 and destroyed by ion-ion recombination at low pressures. At higher pressures it is lost due to detachment. Electronegativity decreased when RF power increase: Electron density increases while negativity ion density is almost constant

12 Electronegativity Electronegativity against pressure Compared with simulation 50W 100W 150W Pressure (mtorr) From Corrmac. Corr Ph.Dthesis

13 Conclusion & future work < Conclusion: > Laser energy, laser diameter and probe bias voltage were calibrated and suitable parameters were selected for photo-detachment measurement. Electrongativity were measured at different positions in capacitive mode. The relationship between electronegaticity and pressure & RF power is consistent with simulation. < Future work: > Measuring electronegativity against pressure in inductively mode
