Abstract

The two-dimensional quasi-planar circuit model is used to study the space voltage distribution between large-area parallel-plate electrodes of very high frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (VHF-PECVD) reactor. The results show that the voltage standing wave effects become the important factor affecting non-uniform voltage distribution when the electrode dimensions and excitation frequency are increased. For a large-area parallel-plate electrode with 1.2m by 0.8 m lateral dimension, driven respectively at frequencies of 40.68 and 60MHz, the space voltage non-uniformity about ±2.5% and ±5.5% are obtained by optimization of the number and position of the power feeding points. These results provide important theoretical guidance for large-area parallel-plate electrodes used for VHF-PECVD.
