    摘要: A plasma source includes a chamber that contains a process gas. The chamber includes a dielectric window that passes electromagnetic radiation. A RF power supply generates a RF signal. At least one RF antenna with a reduced effective antenna voltage is connected to the RF power supply. The at least one RF antenna is positioned proximate to the dielectric window so that the RF signal electromagnetically couples into the chamber to excite and ionize the process gas, thereby forming a plasma in the chamber.

    摘要: A method of in-situ monitoring of a plasma doping process includes generating a plasma comprising dopant ions in a chamber proximate to a platen supporting a substrate. A platen is biased with a bias voltage waveform having a negative potential that attracts ions in the plasma to the substrate for plasma doping. A dose of ions attracted to the substrate is measured. At least one sensor measurement is performed to determine the condition of the plasma chamber. In addition, at least one plasma process parameter is modified in response to the measured dose and in response to the at least one sensor measurement.
