A. Kono et al., TRANSLATIONAL TEMPERATURE-MEASUREMENT FOR SIH2 IN RF SILANE PLASMA USING CW LASER-INDUCED FLUORESCENCE SPECTROSCOPY, JPN J A P 1, 37(8), 1998, pp. 4588-4589
Laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy using a cw ring dye laser was
applied to the detection of low-density SiH2 in a low-power RF SiH4/Ar
mixture plasma at 40 mTorr. The translational temperature of SiH2 in
the plasma was determined from the excitation line profile and was fou
nd to be near room temperature irrespective of the SiH4 mixing ratio.
