摘要

The plasma parameters and ion energy distributions of dominant species in Radio Frequency and mid-Frequency magnetrons have been investigated with the Langmuir probe and Electrostatic Quadrupole Plasma mass spectrometer for argon, hydrogen and oxygen gas mixtures and presented as functions of gas flow rate, applied input power, gas pressure, and distance of the probes from the target electrodes. The distributions of the species measured in the mid-frequency discharge exhibit features which were a result of symmetric and asymmetric collisions between ionic and neutral species as well as high energy electron collisions in the sheath region. The distributions of the heavy species measured in the rf discharge exhibited no secondary features and were peaked at the plasma potential, which was a result of collisions in the bulk of the discharge. The distributions of H+, H 2 + and H3+ species exhibited bimodal peaks, which was indicative of ohmic and stochastic heating as commonly reported.;Fluxes of dominant ions were estimated from the ion energy distribution functions and compared to the deposition rates of hydrogenated amorphous silicon and aluminum oxide thin films. Correlations between the flux and mean energies of the species to the deposition rates of the thin films were investigated. Results of the rf discharge was indicative that the deposition rate of silicon could not be predicted from the fluxes or the mean energies of the species. Correlation between the Ar+ and Al+ ion fluxes and the deposition rate of aluminum oxide was realized. The characterization of the thin films grown in the mid-frequency discharge together with the ion energy distributions showed that pure gamma phased aluminum oxide were observed when the targets were poisoned. Furthermore, the ion energy distribution of Arm ions underwent a transition from a bimodal peak to a single peak as the target was poisoned from metallic mode to the poison mode.;The comprehensive study of the rf- and mid- frequency magnetron chambers demonstrated that the diagnostic techniques used to characterize discharges in conventional system are applicable to the discharges in the mid-frequency magnetron chamber.
