non-thermal plasma hw( chemistry)
Final Test
1. (10point) Electronics ‐ CCP were used for etching and chemical vapor deposition. Today ICP is more
commonly used. Explain the advantages of the HDP (ICP) for etching and CVD.
2. (10point) Chamber Cleaning – essential work after etching or CVD. Change of gas from C3F8 to NF3.
Explain the advantages of NF3.
3. (10point) Nano Electronics ‐ when you increase power you have formation of silicon nano clusters.
Why at higher powers SiH4 instead of surface deposition, participates in cluster formation?
4. (10point) Polymer treatment – improving wetability. Surface becomes sticky after plasma treatment.
Why plasma improves wetability of polymer surfaces?
5. (10point) Plasma generates ROS ‐ The strongest is OH, but the major contribution is provided by the
less active species. Why weaker ROS play more significant role?
6. (10point) Plasma Med – safe dose of treatment is 0.1‐0.3J/cm 2 . If we assume V=30kV and treatment
time 30s, calculate safe rate of current. A=10cm 2 .
7. (10point) Why only non‐thermal plasma applied for lasers?
8. (10point) Why only highly uniform discharges applied for lasers?
9. (10point) CO2 laser – add (N2 and He) excitation, radiation add a lot of N2 and a little of He, Why for
both?
10. (10point) To avoid over heating, specific energy input for laser should be less than
E<0.1eV/molecule. Convert eV/molecule to Joule/st cm3. Power =100W, calculate minimal flow rate
