Summary on Grant Application Form
The programme will measure the concentration of key intermediate species present in rf and microwave plasmas employed for the deposition of: i. Amorphous and polycrystalline silicon and associated alloys ii. Diamond-like and polycrystalline diamondUsing cavity ring down spectroscopy. The same technique will be employed to measure the concentrations of species during the H-atom etching of a variety of semiconductors. CRD and OES will be compared as non-invasive diagnostics for large area technological plasmas.
