Abstract

Aiming to develop a compact and inexpensive in situ cleaning device, an experiment on the removal of hydrocarbon by oxygen and hydrogen plasmas was carried out. The plasmas were produced using a 60 MHz RF-discharge. The oxygen plasma had an electron temperature Te=5 eV and an ion density was 2×10 10 cm -3 with a pressure of 2.3 m Torr and an RF power of 130 W. Observations showed a decrease in the hydrocarbon pressure by about two orders of magnitude after irradiation by the oxygen plasma for about 1 h, though much of the decrease occurred in the first few minutes.
