Abstract
Plasma processing diagnostics play two different roles—characterization and control. The goal of plasma characterization is to establish connections of data with external parameters and to verify models. The goal of control diagnostics is to make noninvasive in situ measurements of relevant processing parameters. Diagnostics used in semiconductor etching are considered. These include Langmuir probes, laser induced fluorescence, optical emission spectroscopy, infrared and Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, microwave interferometry, and radio frequency diagnostics. An example is given of the use of many diagnostics in characterizing SiO2 and Si etching by fluorocarbons.Keywords
