    Abstract: This disclosure is concerned with a process of and apparatus for producing relatively low energy electron beams through pulsed cold-cathode beam generation in a mode of operation involving an important intermediate region of a substantially linear depth-dose profile characteristic that reduces the sensitivity to possible voltage variations, and with improved triggering structures that significantly improve reliability and minimize erratic pulse generation and missing pulses, thus particularly adapting the process and apparatus for such stringent applications as production-line sterilization of surfaces, materials or workpieces passed by the apparatus.

    Abstract: A method for isotropically etching film on a substrate with atomic layer control includes a) providing a substrate including a material selected from a group consisting of silicon (Si), germanium (Ge) and silicon germanium (SiGe). The method includes b) depositing a sacrificial layer on the material in a processing chamber by: cooling a lower portion of the substrate; one of creating or supplying an oxidant-containing plasma in the processing chamber; and increasing a surface temperature of the substrate for a predetermined period using rapid thermal heating while creating or supplying the oxidant-containing plasma in the processing chamber. The method includes c) purging the processing chamber. The method includes d) etching the sacrificial layer and the material by supplying an etch gas mixture and striking plasma in the processing chamber.

    Abstract: A substrate treatment apparatus includes a lower electrode, an upper electrode, a first AC power supply that is connected to the upper electrode and supplies AC power at a first frequency, a second AC power supply that is connected to the upper electrode and supplies AC power at a second frequency which is lower than the first frequency, an internal electrode provided in the lower electrode, a filter circuit connected to the internal electrode, and a DC power supply connected to the internal electrode via the filter circuit. The filter circuit includes a first filter circuit that becomes low impedance with respect to AC power at the first frequency compared to AC power at the second frequency, and a second filter circuit that becomes low impedance with respect to AC power at the second frequency compared to AC power at the first frequency.

    Abstract: A method for depositing material layers with gap variation between film deposition operations is provided. A material layer is deposited over a substrate and is performed in a plasma chamber having a bottom electrode and a top electrode. The method sets a first gap between the bottom and top electrodes and performs plasma deposition to deposit a first film of the material layer over the substrate while the first gap is set between the bottom and top electrodes. Setting a second gap between the bottom a top electrodes and performs plasma deposition to deposit a second film of the material layer over the substrate while the second gap is set between the bottom and top electrodes. The material layer is from the first and second films and the first gap is varied to the second gap to offset pre-characterized non-uniformities when depositing the first film followed by the second film.
