dc.description.abstract | Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy is used to monitor hydrogen chloride (HCl) concentration in a commercial, high-density, low-pressure plasma reactor during plasma etching. A near-infrared diode laser is used to scan the P(4) transition in the first overtone of HCl near 1.79 µm to measure changes in HCl levels. A variety of HBr and Cl2 feedstock recipes are investigated at a process pressure of 10 mTorr as a function of rf power transformer coupled plasma, bias power and the total flow rate. Using 50 ms averaging and a signal modulation technique, we estimate a minimum detectivity of 4 × 10−6 in peak absorbance, which corresponds to an HCl number density of ∼2 × 1011 cm−3. The diode-laser based HCl sensor is sufficiently sensitive to detect small concentration variations and HCl concentration correlates with poly-Si etch rate for the conditions studied. These measurements demonstrate the feasibility of a real-time diode laser-based sensor for etch rate monitoring and the potential for process control. | en_US |
