Benefits of technology

The technical effect that this patented technology allows operators to quickly optimize their settings during manufacturing processes by adjusting certain variables such as ion concentration or etchant velocity within specific ranges based on factors like material properties (such as crystal structure) and processing requirements. This makes it easier than previous methods because they only had one set of values at once.

Problems solved by technology

This technical problem addressed in this patents relates to improving the performance and efficiency of plasma treatment systems during production without requiring complex procedures involving adjustments made manually over time due to variations caused by factors including temperature differences within the system's environment. Additionally, there can also be difficulties accurately detecting when an ionic charge exceeds one specific value but does not require precise measurements on all values.

Abstract

Provided is a technique capable of ascertaining the process condition of the boundary between electrically positive and negative plasma regions. In a vacuum chamber, one of the parameters of process conditions is stepwisely changed to generate a plasma under at least three process conditions. The parameters include a flow rate ratio between an electrically negative gas and an electrically positive gas, a pressure in the vacuum chamber and the magnitude of an energy supplied to the gases. Next, a voltage is applied to a Langmuir probe positioned in that plasma, and a current-voltage curve indicating the relationship between the applied voltage and the electric current to flow through the probe is acquired for each of the process conditions. On the basis of the current-voltage curve group acquired, the process conditions are determined for the boundary between the electrically positive and negative plasma regions.
