Journal ArticleDOI
Miniature quadrupole residual gas analyzer for process monitoring at milliTorr pressures
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a quadrupole residual gas analyzer (RGA) which is scaled down by a factor of 7 to operate at pressures up to 10 mTorr.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mass spectrometric measurements on inductively coupled fluorocarbon plasmas: Positive ions, radicals and endpoint detection
Xi Li,Marc Schaepkens,Gottlieb S. Oehrlein,Robert E. Ellefson,Louis C. Frees,Norbert Mueller,Norman Korner +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the ion energy distributions of the dominant ions were measured as a function of process conditions and appearance potential mass spectrometry was performed to measure trends of the radical densities for C2F6 plasmas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface etching mechanism of silicon nitride in fluorine and nitric oxide containing plasmas
TL;DR: In this article, the etch rate of silicon nitride (Si3N4) in the afterglow of fluorine-containing plasmas is strongly enhanced when both nitrogen and oxygen are added to the remote discharge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mass‐dependent effects of channel electron multipliers in residual gas analyzers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the gain for an ion [electron multiplier (EM) output current divided by the Faraday cup output current] determined by experiment for a combination FC/EM sensor was not constant for increasing mass.
Patent
Ion collector assembly
TL;DR: In this paper, an ion collector includes a Faraday collector having a conductive surface disposed substantially parallel to and spaced from the axis of an entering particle beam containing charged and uncharged particles.
