Each switching element is adjustable from a low resistance state to a high resistance state by a control signal. The inductor outputs current to a circuit load. The circuit may be operated in a first mode such that the output is adjustable between the supply voltage and half the supply voltage. Alternatively, in a second mode of operation, the output is adjustable from half the supply voltage to a ground voltage.

    摘要: A plasma etching system having a wafer chuck with a magnet that applies a magnetic field over a wafer to shield the wafer from charged particles. The magnetic field is parallel with the wafer, and is strongest near the wafer surface. The magnetic field may be straight, or circular. In operation, electrons are deflected from the wafer by the Lorentz force, the wafer acquires a positive charge, and ions are deflected by electrostatic repulsion. Neutral species are allowed through the magnetic field, and they collide with the wafer. Neutral species generally provide more isotropic and material-selective etching than charged particles, so the present magnetic field tends to increase etch isotropy and material selectivity. Also, the magnetic field can protect the wafer from seasoning processes designed to clean unwanted films from the chamber surface as seasoning processes typically rely on etching by charged particles.

    摘要翻译: 一种等离子体蚀刻系统,其具有带有磁体的晶片卡盘,该磁体在晶片上施加磁场以将晶片免受带电粒子的影响。 磁场与晶片平行,并且在晶片表面附近最强。 磁场可以是直的或圆形的。 在操作中,电子通过洛伦兹力从晶片偏转,晶片获得正电荷,离子被静电排斥偏转。 允许中性物质通过磁场,并且它们与晶片碰撞。 中性物质通常提供比带电粒子更多的各向同性和材料选择性蚀刻,因此目前的磁场倾向于增加蚀刻各向同性和材料选择性。 此外,由于调味过程通常依赖于带电粒子的蚀刻,所以磁场可以保护晶片免受调节过程的调节过程,以便从室表面清洁不需要的膜。
