| Research Abstract |
Development of large-diameter uniform plasma sources is of crucial importance for performing a wide-area plasma processing.
In order to produce such a uniform plasma a plane-slotted antenna with permanent magnets has been developed to produce an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma at Tohoku University. This method successfully provides a large-diameter ECR plasma with a uniformity of (]SY.+-.])(3-5)% over a diameter of 40-50 cm. Moreover, a modified magnetron typed plasma source developed at Tohoku University also provides large-diameter uniform radio-frequency (RF) plasmas.
On the other hand, high density plasma sources are studied at the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (Kaist) by using helicon wave heating and inductively coupled plasma production methods at the RF frequency. The diagnostic method employing optical probe has also been developed to evaluate the radical density and its profile in reactive plasmas.
The main purpose of this project is to combine such results obtained at Tohoku University and the KAIST to develop a large-diameter uniform plasma source for the wide-area plasma processing. During the project we had two seminars at the KAIST to discuss about the problems and techniques for detecting the uniformity of radical density supplied from the plane ECR antenna plasma source at Tohoku University. The experiments show the importance of radial profile of plasma parameters.
