Reduction in Number of Sparks Generated in High-Density Plasma Process by Fixing the Wall Potential

Sato Michio,Ohtake Hiroto,Samukawa Seiji
Jpn J Appl Phys 50(3), 036204-036204-5, 2011-03-25
… The effect of the existence of floating potential on spark generation during high-density plasma processes was investigated using an electromagnetic sensor and an on-wafer monitoring sensor. … Accordingly, it was found that the existence of a floating wall is one of the main reasons for spark generation, and that fixing the wall potential is very effective for preventing spark generation. …
