Abstract
The role of different CFx-radicals in plasma polymerization in fluorocarbon mixtures has not been determined yet. Therefore spectroscopic investigations of dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs) in argon/fluorocarbon mixtures at atmospheric pressure were conducted with the focus on measurement of the concentration of CFx-radicals. The following diagnostic procedures were applied: FTIR absorption spectroscopy to diagnose stable compounds in the discharge, optical emission spectroscopy of the DBD in the UV and visible range and measurement of the CF2 concentration by UV absorption spectroscopy. The DBD was running in argon with the following admixtures: CF4, C2F6, C2H2F4, C3F8, C3HF7, c-C4F8. The relative concentration of the CF3-radical and the absolute concentration of CF2 in Ar/fluorocarbon mixtures were measured by emission spectroscopy and by absorption and emission spectroscopy, respectively. Emission and absorption spectroscopy were performed simultaneously in combination with electrical measurements of the discharge characteristics. The influence of small amounts of hydrogen or oxygen added to the argon/fluorocarbon mixtures was investigated.
