    Abstract: A plasma abatement process for abating effluent containing a PFC gas from a processing chamber is described. A plasma abatement process takes gaseous foreline effluent from a processing chamber, such as an etch chamber, and reacts with the effluent within a plasma chamber placed in the foreline path. The plasma dissociates the PFC gases and reacts them with a reagent, converting the effluent into compounds that are non-global warming and which may be easily removed by traditional facility water scrubbing technology. This disclosure explains methods to control the reagent hydrogen to oxygen ratio such that in addition to PFC destruction, the abated compounds have modified composition to enable extension of the maintenance interval for downstream supporting equipment.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards a method and apparatus for generating an abatement plasma downstream of a processing chamber using an RF plasma ignited and sustained with an integrated power oscillator circuit driven by feedback based upon a load of the abatement plasma. In one embodiment, a plasma ashing system includes an abatement system configured to receive an effluent byproduct from an upstream processing chamber containing a workpiece. The effluent byproduct is provided along an exhaust conduit to a downstream afterburner unit having an integrated power oscillator, that relies upon an oscillating circuit operatively coupled to an antenna to ignite the abatement plasma within the exhaust conduit. The antenna, together with the plasma load, form a resonant tank circuit, which provides a feedback that drives operation of the oscillating circuit, thereby allowing the oscillating circuit to vary its output based upon changes in the abatement plasma load.
