Here, we investigate power deposition/plasma production in argon, nitrogen, and oxygen discharges as a function of pressure. These three feed gases were chosen as they provide a set of electropositive and electronegative gases and they are widely discussed in the existing literature. Experiments were conducted for all combinations of pressures: 0.5, 1.5, and 2.5 Torr, and nominal power density between 0.1 and 0.7 W/cm2 for each feed gas at a fixed electrode gap of 24 mm, a commonly employed gap in many industrial processes. Our study shows that increasing pressure results in an increase in current at a given electrode bias in argon and oxygen discharges, while there is no discernible pressure-induced change in nitrogen discharges. We attribute this increase to an increase in plasma density, which might result from a change in power deposition or ionization processes. It is likely that heating via secondary electrons becomes more important at intermediate pressures, resulting in increased plasma density and current. Specifically, based on our measurements, it appears that the mechanisms through which power is deposited into the plasma change with increasing pressure for both argon and oxygen discharges but not for nitrogen discharges. Our experimental results align with the outcomes of our simulations and the simulation results of CCP discharges conducted by other researchers under similar conditions.","PeriodicalId":170900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology A","volume":" 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140691702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In2Se3 films were synthesized on sapphire, Si(111) and highly oriented, pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) substrates. The phase composition, stoichiometry, and surface morphology of the films were characterized via Raman spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy, respectively. Higher substrate temperature combined with higher Se/In ratio promoted formation of β-In2Se3 over γ and/or κ-In2Se3 on all substrates. Higher Se/In ratio also independently promoted β-In2Se3 over γ and/or κ-In2Se3 on all substrates at 673 K. The lateral dimensions of In2Se3 flakes increased as the substrate temperature increased on all substrates, and the largest lateral dimensions were observed for β-In2Se3 flakes on HOPG at 973 K. No evidence of α-In2Se3 was observed in the Raman spectra of any of the films at any of the synthesis conditions in this study. β-In2Se3 films on HOPG were cooled at 1200, 120, and 12 K/h and no evidence of a β to α-In2Se3 phase transition was observed. Some evidence of β to α-In2Se3 phase transition was observed in temperature-dependent XRD of In2Se3 powders, suggesting that another parameter besides cooling rate is locking the In2Se3 films into the β-phase.","PeriodicalId":170900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology A","volume":" 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140691387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among various strategies, the search for etch precursors that have low global warming potential is actively underway worldwide to reduce the use of conventional precursors with high global warming potential. In this paper, we explore the use of C6F6, a promising candidate to replace the widely utilized perfluorocarbon precursor C4F8, for plasma atomic layer etching (ALE) of SiO2. In situ ellipsometry results indicated that acceptable ALE characteristics were obtained with C4F8 and C6F6 each in their own specific ALE window, while C6F6 showed superior ALE performance. Investigation into the ALE performance with different precursors was then conducted based on plasma diagnostics for radical density, electron density, and plasma potential, and the results of which showed that the difference in the radical composition between precursors significantly affected the resulting ALE trends and also that the excellent ALE performance with C6F6 might originate from its significant polymeric characteristics. We expect the present findings to contribute to the wider adoption of low global warming potential precursors in the etching process.","PeriodicalId":170900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology A","volume":"14 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140696641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The microstructural and surface properties of these films were examined through x-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Electrical properties were assessed using a four-point probe, while mechanical properties were measured via nanoindentation. Both multilayer systems showed a decrease in the hardness accompanied by an increase in the elastic modulus with each stacking bilayer. The Cu/W system experienced a gradual hardness reduction (down to 19%), compared to the Cu/Cr system, which exhibited a similar decrease (14.5%). The Cu/W and Cu/Cr multilayer film samples consistently demonstrate a softer nature compared to their bilayer counterparts due to the influence of the underlying Cu soft layers. A distinctive surface smoothness in these multilayer systems correlates with the elastic modulus in a manner unlike that with hardness. These multilayer films also demonstrated altered electrical resistivity, enhancing our understanding and capabilities in fabricating films with an increased number of layers.","PeriodicalId":170900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology A","volume":"14 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140695746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, the oxidation-sensitive nature of carbon microfibers over 550 K and their submicron-textured surface does not bode well with the required conformity of deposition best obtained by atomic layer deposition (ALD) and the thermal oxidative conditions associated with common protocols of silica ALD. Nonetheless, the use of a catalytic ALD process allowed for the deposition of amorphous alumina–silica bilayers from 445 K using trimethylaluminium and tris(tert-pentoxy)silanol (TPS). In this study, first undertaken on flat silicon wafers to make use of optical spectroscopies, the interplay between kinetics leading to a dense silica film growth was investigated in relation to the applied operation parameters. A threshold between the film catalyzed growth and the complete outgassing of pentoxy-derived compounds from TPS was found, resulting in a deposition of equivalent growth per cycle of 1.1 nm c−1, at a common ALD rate of 0.3 nm  min−1, with a flat thickness gradient. The deposition on carbon microfiber fabrics was found conformal, albeit with a thickness growth capped below 20 nm, imparted by the microfiber surface texture. STEM-EDX showed a sharp interface of the bilayer with limited carbon diffusion. The conformal and dense deposition of alumina–silica thin films on carbon microfibers holds great potential for further use as refractory oxygen barrier layers.","PeriodicalId":170900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology A","volume":"126 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140709016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current resists for extreme ultraviolet lithography are less than 50 nm thick. These ultrathin resists further complicate pattern transfer as unintended plasma-induced damage during dry etching is more pronounced. A better understanding of the interaction of plasma species with ultrathin resists is critical for enabling pattern transfer of sub-10 nm features. Here, we study the impact of vacuum ultraviolet photons, argon ions, and argon plasma on a 40 nm thick polymethylmethacrylate film. Using a deuterium lamp, an industrial ion beam etch tool, and an industrial inductively coupled plasma etch tool, we exposed the polymer to photons, ions, and plasma, respectively. The exposed samples were then analyzed for chemical and physical changes using different characterization techniques. It was observed that the vacuum ultraviolet photons interact with the entire bulk of polymer film, while the ions only affect the surface and subsurface region. The photon exposed samples formed smaller polymer fragments at low exposure doses and further started to cross-link at high doses. In contrast, the ion modification leads to carbonization of only the top few nanometers of the polymer film, leaving the bottom bulk intact. The plasma exposed sample showed changes characteristic to both vacuum ultraviolet photons and ions and their synergism. It was stratified with a 1.34 ± 0.03 nm thick ion-caused carbonized layer on top of a 13.25 ± 0.12 nm photon-induced cross-linked layer. By studying the impact of plasma photons on ultrathin polymethylmethacrylate, we were able to establish a baseline for a testing methodology that can be extended to novel ultrathin resist platforms.","PeriodicalId":170900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology A","volume":"83 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140720130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work focuses on the use of plasma diagnostics to examine the plasma characteristics of a remote inductively coupled plasma (ICP) source, a type of plasma source that is commonly used for PEALD. Ultraviolet to near-infrared spectroscopy and spatially resolved Langmuir probe measurements are employed to characterize a remote ICP system using nitrogen-based gas chemistries typical for III-nitride growth processes. Spectroscopy is used to characterize the relative concentrations of important reactive and energetic neutral species generated in the remote ICP as a function of gas flow rate, Ar/N2 flow fraction, and gas pressure. In addition, the plasma potential and plasma density for the same process parameters are examined using an RF compensated Langmuir probe downstream from the ICP source.

With the increase in CVD reactor size, gas mass transfer, flow state, and gas phase dynamics become more complicated. In this study, computational fluid dynamics is used to investigate factors affecting the uniformity of large-scale graphene growth under different growth conditions and reactor configurations. The dimensionless number defined in this paper and the Grashof number are utilized to distinguish the species transfer patterns and the flow states, respectively. A gas-surface dynamics model is established to simulate the graphene growth. Results reveal that the graphene growth rate uniformity is the highest at very low pressure and flow rate due to the flow symmetry and diffusion-dominated species transfer. At an increased pressure of 20 Torr, the uniformity of the graphene growth rate becomes higher axially and lower circumferentially with an increasing inlet mass flow rate. When the flow rate is fixed at 1500 SCCM and pressure is reduced from 20 to 2 Torr, graphene growth uniformity first increases and then decreases due to the influence of gas phase dynamics. Graphene growth rates are analyzed across ordinary reactor configurations and four configurations with inner tubes at 20 Torr pressure and 1500 SCCM flow rate. Comprehensive evaluation suggests that the ordinary reactor configuration performs best under these conditions. This research offers insights into the macroscopic growth mechanism of large-scale graphene and provides guidance for designing growth conditions in large-area graphene production.","PeriodicalId":170900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology A","volume":"195 S562","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140730753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
