    摘要: Some techniques disclosed herein facilitate cleaning residue from a molecular beam component. For example, in an exemplary method, a molecular beam is provided along a beam path, causing residue build up on the molecular beam component. To reduce the residue, the molecular beam component is exposed to a hydro-fluorocarbon plasma. Exposure to the hydro-fluorocarbon plasma is ended based on whether a first predetermined condition is met, the first predetermined condition indicative of an extent of removal of the residue. Other methods and systems are also disclosed.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed towards a method and apparatus for generating an abatement plasma downstream of a processing chamber using an RF plasma ignited and sustained with an integrated power oscillator circuit driven by feedback based upon a load of the abatement plasma. In one embodiment, a plasma ashing system includes an abatement system configured to receive an effluent byproduct from an upstream processing chamber containing a workpiece. The effluent byproduct is provided along an exhaust conduit to a downstream afterburner unit having an integrated power oscillator, that relies upon an oscillating circuit operatively coupled to an antenna to ignite the abatement plasma within the exhaust conduit. The antenna, together with the plasma load, form a resonant tank circuit, which provides a feedback that drives operation of the oscillating circuit, thereby allowing the oscillating circuit to vary its output based upon changes in the abatement plasma load.
