Vacuum (units)
-
Rough VacuumMechanical Pumps typically create a base pressure of 1-10 mTorr or 0.13-1.3 PaRotary Vane Pump(Campbell)Warning:Certain process gases are incompatible with pump fluids and pose severe safety risks!
-
High Vacuum PumpingCryopumps condense gases on cold surfaces to produce vacuumTypically there are three cold surfaces:Inlet array condenses water and hydrocarbons (60-100 Kelvin)Condensing array pumps argon, nitrogen and most other gases (10-20 K)Adsorption is needed to trap helium, hydrogen and neon in activated carbon at 10-12 K. These gases are pumped very slowly!Warning: all pumped gases are trapped inside the pump, so explosive, toxicand corrosive gases are not recommended. No mech. pump is needed until regen.adapted from www.helixtechnology.com (Campbell)

High Vacuum PumpingProcess chamberHeater/Pumping FluidForeline -to mech pumpDiffusion Pump
The process gas is entrained by the downward flow of vaporized pumpingfluid.
Benefits:Low cost, reliable, and rugged.High pumping speed: ~ 2000 l/s
Caution:The process chamber will becontaminated by pumping fluid.A cold trap must be used between thediffusion pump and the process chamber.
Not recommended for clean processes.Water-cooledwallsadapted from Lesker.com
-
Flow RateTypically gas flows are cited in units of standard cubic centimeters per minute (sccm) or standard liters per minute (slm)
Standard refers to T=273K, P = 1 atm.
Example:Process gas flow of 50 sccm at 5 mTorr (@300k) requires
50 cm-3min-1(760Torr/5x10-3Torr)(300/273)(1min/60sec)(1/103) = 140 liters/sec of pumping speed at the chamber pump port
-
Conductance Limitation50 sccm5 mTorr140 l/s= Q/(P1 P2)
Fixed Throughput, Q:Q = 0.005 Torr x 140 l/s = 0.7 Torr-l/s> 140 l/s since P2> a, L(see Mahan, 2000)

Residual Gas AnalysisLow pressure systems are dominated by water vapor as seen in this RGA of a chamber backfilled with 4x10-5 torr of argonWhy? H2O is a polar molecule that is difficult to pump from the walls --> bake-out the chamberSource: Pfeiffer vacuum productsLeak?

Gas Density (n)Ideal Gas LawPV = NkT
Gas density at 1 Pascal at room temp.N/V = n = P/kT = (1 N/m2)/(1.3807x10-23J/K)(300 K)= [1 (kg-m/s2)/m2]/[4.1x10-21 kg-m2/s2]= 2.4x1020 atoms per m3= 2.4x1014 cm-3 at 1 Pa
Rule of Thumb n(T) = 3.2x1013 cm-3 x (300/T) at a pressure of 1 mTorr
-
Gas KineticsMaxwellian DistributionAverage speed of an atom:Flux of atoms to the x-y plane surface:(Campbell)Very important!
-
ExampleA vacuum chamber has a base pressure of 10-6 Torr. Assuming that this is dominated by water vapor, what is the flux of H2O to a substrate placed in this chamber?
n = 3.2x1013 cm-3/mTorr * 10-3 mTorr = 3.2x1010 cm-3
= (8kT/pM)1/2 = 59200 cm/s
Gz = ()n = 4.74x1014 molecules per cm2 per sec!
This is approximately one monolayer of H2O every secondat 10-6 Torr base pressure.

Collision Cross SectionsUnlike the hard sphere model, real collision cross sections are a function of electron kinetic energy s(E), or electron velocity s(v).We must find the expected collision frequency by averaging over all E or v.becomes(cm3s-1)

Electron and Ion Loss to the Substrate and Walls- the plasma sheath -nenir 0electrons are much more mobile than ionsme = q/me >> q/mi = michamber
-
Electron and Ion Loss to the Substrate and Walls- the plasma sheath -+low energy electrons are trapped within the plasma, but ions are accelerated by the sheath potential to the chamber walls and substrate
-
Ion FluxThe ion flux to a solid object is determined by the Bohm velocity (or sound speed) of the ion:
uB = (kTe/mi)1/2 = 9.8x105 (Te/M)1/2 cm/s =9.8x105 (3 eV/40 amu)1/2 ~ 2.5x105 cm/s
and the ion flux is given by Gi = uBni (cm-2s-1)
(this is the ion speed at the edge of the sheath)
-
Electron FluxOnly the most energetic electrons can overcome the sheath potential, Vs. Ge = ne exp (qVs/kTe)f(E)Electron energy, E TeqVsflux to surfaceBoltzmann factor
-
Sheath Potential, VsIn the steady state, the electron and ion fluxes to the chamber/substrate must be equal, if there is no external current path
Ge = Gi ne exp (qVs/kTe) = uBni = (kTe/mi)1/2 negivingVs = -Teln(mi/2pme) ~ -5Te
This is often called the floating potential: Isolated surfaces have a negative potential relative to the plasma.
-
Ion EnergyEx: Assuming argon with Te = 3 eV,the ion energy at the cathode is Ei = q(1 kV + 4.7Te) = 1014 eVignoring ion-neutral collision within s,and the ion energy at the anode is Ei = 4.7 Te = 14 eV
Ion mean free path:li = 1/ngassi ~ 3/p (cm) for Ar+where p is the pressure in mTorrHere li = 3/100 cm or 0.3 mm @ 0.1 torrNOTE: s>>li Ei
-
Particle Conservationand Electron TemperatureA simple model for electron temperature can be found for a steady state plasma:
# of ions created/sec = # of ions lost/secKizngasneV = uBniAeff
Kiz/uB = Kizoe-Eiz/kTe /(kTe/mi)1/2 = Aeff/(V ngas)=1/deffngas
(V=plasma volume, Aeff = effective chamber area, deff = V/Aeff)
-
The electron temperature (Te) is a unique function of gas density, ngas (pressure)chamber size, deff = V/Aeffgas type: Kiz, Eiz
Example:Two large parallel plates separated by 2 cm are used to sustain an argon plasma at 25 mTorr. Find Te.deff = V/Aeff ~ pR2d / (pR2 +pR2) = d/2ngasdeff ~ (25*3.2x1019m-3)(0.01m) =0.8e+19 m-2
Te = 3 eV
(Note: we have assume that the plasma density is uniform)

Power Conservation and Electron Density, nePower Absorbed by the Plasma = Power Lost from the Plasma
Pabs = [qniuBEion+q(neeVs/kTe )Eelec]Aeff +(Pheat+Plight+Pdiss) qneuBAeff(Eion + Eelec + Ec)
where EC is the collisional energy lost in creating an electron-ion pair due to ionization, light, dissociative collisions, and heat:EC = [nizEiz + nexEex + ndissEdiss + nm(3me/mi)Te]/nizqVs2TePionPelectron

Collisional Energy Loss

Electron Density ExampleContinuing with the previous exampleA plasma is sustained in argon at 25 mTorr between to parallel plates separated by 2 cm. The radius of the plates is 20 cm and the power absorbed by the plasma is 100 watts. Find ne.
100 W = qneuBAeff(Eion + Eelec + Ec)= (1.6x10-19C)ne(2.5x105cm/s)(2px202 cm2) x(5Te + 2Te + 55 eV) ne = 1.3x1010 cm-3
Find ne if the gas is N2, assuming that Te ~ 3 eV100 W = (1.6x10-19C)ne(2.5x105cm/s)(2px202 cm2)(5Te + 2Te + 400 eV) ne = 2.3 x 109 cm-3
-
Example (contd)Repeat the previous example using argon, BUT include an electrode voltage of 1000v that is applied to one plate to sustain the plasma.
100 W = qneuBAeff(Eion + Eelec + Ec)= (1.6x10-19C)ne(2.5x105cm/s)(px202 cm2) x{(5Te + 2Te + 55 eV)+[(1000 eV+5Te) + 2Te + 55 eV]} ne = 1.7x109 cm-3anodecathode

-
Ionized-PVD DefinitionPhysical vapor deposition in which more than half of the deposited atoms arrive at the substrate as ions.e.g., for sputtering of metals Gm+ > Gm at the substrate.
Includes sputtering, evaporation, arcs, laser ablation
-
MotivationThe energy and direction of ionized depositing species are easily controlled with electrostatic fields and/or sheath voltage. In contrast, neutral depositing species are difficult to control.
