Abstract

Lateral distribution of particles density in the plasma across the wafer surface is critical for plasma processing steps in IC manufacturing and should be optimized at the stage of process design. Optical emission tomography of the plasma is promising technique for this goal. Presented investigation is carried out to develop the algorithms of tomographic reconstruction of 2D-distribution plasma species density from its characteristic optical emission data. The geometry of the tomographic data acquisition was chosen to be compatible with the commercial types of plasma reactors. Advanced accuracy of reconstruction has been achieved by including the classes of the space profiles of inhomogeneities based on the discharge physics into reconstruction algorithm. The tests have been performed with the kinds of inhomogeneities, which is most probable in plasma reactors with HDP sources.
