Remote Plasma Atomic Layer Deposition Apparatus and Method Using Dc Bias

A conventional plasma applied ALD apparatus has a problem in that physical shock is directly imposed on a substrate and a thin film thereby damaging the thin film. Further, many reports have said that since an apparatus for controlling plasma energy is not arranged well, the thin film is not formed uniformly due to plasma nonuniformity. Therefore, there is provided a remote plasma atomic layer deposition apparatus using a DC bias comprising: a reaction chamber having an inner space; a substrate supporting body on which a substrate on which a thin film is to be formed is loaded arranged at one side of the inner space of the reaction chamber; a remote plasma generating unit arranged outside of the reaction chamber to supply a remote plasma into the inner space of the reaction chamber; a DC bias unit controlling energy of the remote plasma; and a source gas supply unit supplying a source gas for forming the thin film into the reaction chamber.

InactiveUS20050103445A1Improving uniformity of plasma processElectric discharge tubesVacuum evaporation coatingElectrical conductorEtching
An inductively coupled plasma source is provided with a peripheral ionization source for producing a high-density plasma in a vacuum chamber for semiconductor wafer coating or etching. The source includes a segmented configuration having high and low radiation segments and produces a generally ring-shaped array of energy concentrations in the plasma around the periphery of the chamber. Energy is coupled from a segmented low inductance antenna through a dielectric window or array of windows and through a segmented shield or baffle. The antenna has concentrated conductor segments through which current flows in one or more small cross-section conductors to produce high magnetic fields that couple through the high-transparency shield segments into the chamber, while alternating distributed conductor segments, formed of large cross-section conductor portions or diverging small conductor sections, permit magnetic fields to pass through or between the conductors and deliver only weak fields, which are aligned with opaque shield sections and couple insignificant energy to the plasma. The source provides spatial control of plasma energy distribution, which aids in control of the uniformity of plasma processing across the surface of the semiconductor being processed.

System, method, and apparatus for continuous synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes

A process for producing single-walled carbon nanotubes in a continuous manner includes carbon plasma generation, plasma stabilization, and product deposition. The plasma is generated by electrical resistance heating or electron beam vaporization of feedstock. The plasma is stabilized with radio frequency energy from inductance coils and with electrical resistance heaters in the reactor. Stabilization homogenizes the plasma energy density and concentration, leading to a more efficient reactor. Finally, a transition metal catalyst and associated catalyst support are used to form the end product. The formation region may have variations of geometry and supporting equipment that will affect the rate and purity of the swcnt production. The formation region is immediately downstream from the plasma stabilization region. In addition, the entire apparatus is designed so that it can be mounted vertically such that continuous deposition of product can be applied with precision using an overhead robotic arm.
