متن کاملThree-Dimensional Plasma Etching Simulation using Advanced Ray Tracing and Level Set Techniques
We present three-dimensional simulation techniques for plasma etching processes. Models based on Langmuir-type adsorption and on ballistic particle transport at feature scale can be efficiently solved in three dimensions. Surface coverages are self-consistently calculated. The local sputter rates of ions and the fluxes of neutrals are computed using modern ray tracing algorithms. In this way an...
متن کاملHigh Density Plasma Deposition Modeling Using Level Set Methods
Several silicon dioxide chemical vapor deposition processes using high density plasma sources have been recently proposed in the literature [11, 7] for deposition of self-planarizing inter-level dielectric deposition. All these processes exhibit the competitive effect of simultaneous deposition and etching mechanisms. This paper describes the use of a robust simulation technique that can includ...
متن کاملGrowth of vertically aligned arrays of carbon nanotubes for high field emission
Vertically aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes have been grown on Ni-coated silicon substrates, by using either direct current diode or triode plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition at low temperature (around 620 °C). Acetylene gas has been used as the carbon source while ammonia and hydrogen have been used for etching. However densely packed (∼ 10 cm ) CNTs were obtained when the pressure...
