Abstract
The further development in semiconductor technology toward smaller dimensions and higher densities calls for low-energy high-power plasma sources in etching and deposition as well. An ECR plasma source developed by Leybold (LH) with an effective diameter of 9" is described. The radially symmetric construction of the source as well as the chosen microwave input allows wafers with diameter up to 200 mm to be processed with high uniformity. Special empasise has been given to minimum particle and damage generation. Several etch processes are presented to demonstrate the application potential of the source.
