AbstractSpatially resolved Laser Induced Fluorescence and Optical Emission Spectroscopy were applied in an rf silane discharge, for the simultaneous detection of both ground and excited states of SiH radicals. Axial intensity profiles of these radicals were recorded under various conditions. The experimental observations indicate that the two radicals have different generation paths. LIF profiles are considered to represent the generation profile of all the ground state radicals and they were used as such in kinetic calculations.

Ar\H2\CH4 gas mixture was utilized to grow nanocrystal diamond films in a RF plasma enhanced CVD system. CH4\ H2 ratios were changed to study the effect of plasma radicals on the deposit, in which optical emission spectroscopy (OES) was applied to analyze the plasma radicals. It was found that Hα, Hβ, Hγ, CH, C2 were the main radicals in the plasma. Among them, the CH intensity of OES was usually quite strong and increased sharply when the ratio of CH4/H2 was greater than 3%. The intensity of C2 was weak and basically unchanged with the addition of methane. This study can provide a new possible technical application for depositing NCD films.

ABSTRACTOptical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) with argon actinometry has been used to study the influence of machine parameters on the composition of a BCl3 RF plasma discharge in the absence and presence of aluminium. Two steady state models are proposed to account for the appearance of the various species seen, and to explain their relative abundances in response to changes in power and pressure. The validity of the actinometric technique for measuring relative changes in ground state concentrations is discussed also.
