Abstract

The discharge chemistry of CHF3 in 27/2, 60/2, and 60/13.56 MHz dual-frequency capacitively coupled plasmas (DF-CCPs) is studied with actinometric optical emission spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The frequency effect on the generation of reactive species was investigated. The reactive radicals and the density ratio of F/CF2 could be controlled by the 2 MHz rf power in 27/2 and 60/2 MHz DF-CCPs. The density ratios of F/CF2 in 27/2 and 60/2 MHz DF-CCPs are observed to increase with an increase in low-frequency power. However, this control could not be obtained in 60/13.56 MHz DF-CCP.
