A reactor using localized remote plasma in a grid electrode is presented in this study. The aim is to reduce the ion bombardment energy inherent in RF capacitively coupled parallel plate reactors used to deposit large area thin film silicon solar cells. Hi ...
The boundaries of capacitively coupled radio-frequency (rf) plasma reactors generally include at least one grounded metal grid or perforated plate for purposes of gas flow or diagnostic access. When increasing the rf power, an intense localized plasma (a p ...
The interplay of gas flow and depletion by plasma dissociation determines the spatial distribution of species and the deposition uniformity in a plasma source. Many plasma reactors use a gas showerhead and the design of the flow dynamics is a critical aspe ...
