Abstract

Using optical emission spectroscopy (OES), mass spectrometry (MS), and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), we are investigating a number of glow-discharge reactions as a function of RF power, flow rates, partial pressures, and H2 dilution under realistic thin-film deposition conditions.In this paper we report on the preliminary results of two studies:

  1. 1) The formation of radical and polymeric species in SiH4 and Si2H6 plasmas, and

  2. 2) The characterization of SiF4 + H2 plasmas and the detection of HSiCl and HSiF in the plasmas of SiH2Cl2 and SiH2F2, respectively.
