Electron cyclotron resonance equipment with variable flare angle of horn antenna
摘要:
An electron cyclotron resonance equipment generates plasma by application of a processing gas and microwave energy into a vacuum chamber having a wafer therein in an environment of reduced pressure. The equipment includes a horn antenna assembly mounted onto an uppermost end of the vacuum chamber for radiating the microwave energy supplied from a high-frequency generator into the vacuum chamber. The horn antenna enables extension and retraction in a lengthwise direction to change a flare angle of the horn antenna. The equipment is provided with a fixed antenna and a plurality of mobile antennas to configure a horn antenna assembly, thereby enabling control of the flare angle in the horn antenna as a result of displacement of the mobile antennas. Thus, the uniformity in radiation of the microwave energy within plasma chamber can be controlled with efficiency.
