Gas phase diagnostics during silicon carbide films deposition using very high frequency - plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition

In-situ Optical Emission Spectroscopy was used as diagnostics tool to monitor deposition process of Silicon Carbide (SiC) film using Very High Frequency - Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (VHF-PECVD) method. The VHF-PECVD operated at plasma excitation frequency of 150MHz and 25 W of RF powe...
