AbstractFor the first time ion energy distributions (IED) of different ions from silane-hydrogen (SiH4-H2 ) RF plasmas are presented, i.e. the distributions of SiH3+, SiH2+ and SiH2+. The energy distributions of SiH3+ and SiH3+ ions show peaks, which are caused by a charge exchange process in the sheath. A method is presented by which the net charge density in the sheath is determined from the plasma potential and the energy positions of the charge exchange peaks. Knowing the net charge density in the sheath and the plasma potential, the sheath thickness can be determined and an estimation of the absolute ion fluxes can be made. The flux of ions can, at maximum, account for 10% of the observed deposition rate.

AbstractUsing a newly developed ion beam apparatus, PANDA (Positive And Negative ions Deposition Apparatus), carbon nitride films were prepared by simultaneous deposition of mass-analyzed low energy positive and negative ions such as C2-, N+, under ultra high vacuum conditions, in the order of 10−6 Pa on silicon wafer. The ion energy was varied from 50 to 400 eV. The film properties as a function of their beam energy were evaluated by Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman scattering. From the results, it is suggested that the C-N triple bond contents in films depends on nitrogen ion energy.
