    摘要: New and improved microwave plasma assisted reactors, for example chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) reactors, are disclosed. The disclosed microwave plasma assisted reactors operate at pressures ranging from about 10 Torr to about 760 Torr. The disclosed microwave plasma assisted reactors include a movable lower sliding short and/or a reduced diameter conductive stage in a coaxial cavity of a plasma chamber. For a particular application, the lower sliding short position and/or the conductive stage diameter can be variably selected such that, relative to conventional reactors, the reactors can be tuned to operate over larger substrate areas, operate at higher pressures, and discharge absorbed power densities with increased diamond synthesis rates (carats per hour) and increased deposition uniformity.

    摘要: A method for etching or chemically treating a surface of an article utilizing a radio frequency wave ion generating apparatus which provides a thin disk shaped plasma is described. The plasma disks can have a relatively large diameter (on the order of magnitude 50 centimeters). The plasma disks can be created without using a static magnetic field. The radio frequency waves are preferably microwaves or UHF. The method is particularly useful for ion or free radical irradiation of the surface provided in the plasma or for irradiation of the surface by ions accelerated outside a cavity containing the plasma. Disk plasmas are created over a wide pressure range (10.sup.-4 Torr to 1 atmosphere) and are highly ionized at low pressures. An apparatus adapted for treating a surface of an article with ions from a plasma is also described. The method and apparatus are preferably used for treating a surface forming part of an integrated circuit.

    摘要: An improved ion generating apparatus for producing a plasma disk using magnets 34 and 35 around a region 16 in a chamber 15 positioned in a microwave cavity is described. The apparatus is particularly operated at a microwave frequency such that electron cyclotron resonance is produced in the plasma to create an accelerating surface for the electrons around and inside of the plasma. The apparatus can be operated to treat an article 100 in the plasma or a holder 39, with a grid 51 to withdraw particles or with a magnets 47 around an opening 48 forming a nozzle which with electron cyclotron resonance produces a neutral beam of charged particles. The apparatus is particularly useful as a plasma source especially for oxidation, etching and deposition.

    摘要: A plasma apparatus which generates a radio frequency (UHF or microwave) disk plasma 16 and a hybrid plasma 45 derived from the disk plasma. The microwave plasma acts as a source of excited ion and free radical species and electrons for the second plasma which is hybrid in that it contains species from both microwave and dc (or rf depending on bias) excitation. The hybrid plasma can be used to treat an article 43 with different species than are present in the disk plasma and provides more control in this regard than a single plasma.
