Abstract:
A plasma generation apparatus includes a plasma generation unit. The plasma generation unit has a spherical or elliptical cavity. The plasma generation unit receives radio-frequency (RF) power in such a manner that bounce resonance of electrons is performed to generate plasma in the cavity. The cavity has a plasma extraction hole to communicate with an external space.
Abstract:
A substrate processing apparatus and method includes a chamber, a remote plasma source outside the chamber to provide activated ammonia and activated hydrogen fluoride into the chamber, and a direct plasma source to provide ion energy to a substrate inside the chamber. The plasma source includes ground electrodes extending in a first direction on a first plane perpendicularly spaced apart from a plane on which the substrate is disposed and defined by the first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and power electrodes disposed between the ground electrodes, extending in the first direction parallel to each other and receiving power from an RF power source to generate plasma between adjacent ground electrodes. The activated ammonia and the activated hydrogen fluoride are supplied on the substrate through a space between the power electrode and the ground electrode.
