Abstract:With the energy resolved quadrupole mass spectrometer and hybrid simulation, the influence of low-frequency (LF) source parameters on the ion energy distributions (IEDs) of argon ions impinging on the grounded electrode was studied, both experimentally and numerically, in a dual frequency capacitively coupled plasma. It was shown that for decreasing LF or increasing LF power, the high energy peak in IEDs shifts toward the high energy region significantly. The simulation results were in general agreement with the experimental data. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
