Development and Applications of a Compact Electron Cyclotron Resonance Source

Abstract
A new compact ECR plasma source has been developed. The characteristics of this source and it's applications are discussed. Irradiation by oxygen radicals O* for the oxidation during deposition process was found to produce high quality superconducting thin films with increased characteristic temperatures. Hydrogen radical H* beam cleaning of GaAs substrate surfaces was achieved at temperatures as low as 100°C.
