  • Etching of polyphenylene oxide in a downstream microwave plasma using NF₃, SF₆, O₂ and Ar gas mixtures

    Creator:
    Venkataraman, Arjun
    Abstract:
    Plasma etching of polymers is an important process in the fabrication of integrated circuits, printed circuit boards and other emerging technologies. High rates can be obtained using oxygen diluted with a fluorine-containing gas, most commonly CF₄. In this thesis, two less studied fluorinated gases, NF₃ and SF₆ are investigated. Polyphenylene...

  • Modeling and simulation of CF₄/O₂ microwave plasma afterglows

    Creator:
    Camara, Amadou Tidiane
    Abstract:
    A gas phase kinetic model for the CF₄/O₂ microwave discharge plasma and afterglow of our laboratory has been developed. A reaction pathway identifying the major chemical reactions is proposed. The rate coefficients of the electron impact dissociation reactions are determined at three different plasma powers using both published electron molecule...
