Journal ArticleDOI
In situ laser diagnostic studies of plasma‐generated particulate contamination
TL;DR: In this article, a mechanism for nucleation and growth is suggested involving formation of plasma negative ions from etch products, ion clustering with plasma species, and cluster growth into particles with electrostatic suspension and trapping.
Journal ArticleDOI
Particle trapping phenomena in radio frequency plasmas
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used laser light scattering with the laser beam rapidly rastered in a plane parallel to the rf electrode, and observed that there is significant negative charge on the particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
In situ plasma contamination measurements by HeNe laser light scattering: A case study
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a simple, inexpensive HeNe laser and a video camera to measure light scattering intensity and location in an SiO2 sputtering process used in semiconductor manufacturing under actual process conditions in a class 10 cleanroom.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Phenomenlogical Study of Particulates in Plasma Tools and Processes
TL;DR: Particle contamination in a variety of plasma processes and tools has been studied using a real-time, in-situ detection technique, rastered laser light scattering as discussed by the authors, where particles were suspended in the plasma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rastered laser light scattering studies during plasma processing: Particle contamination trapping phenomena
TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution and transport of particles in materials processing plasmas has been studied with a rastered laser light scattering technique and it has been shown that the distribution of particles is rarely random and that structured clouds of particles form at the plasma/sheath boundary.
