Method of Controlling Ion Energy and Flux in Capacitively Coupled Radio Frequency Discharges
The energy of ions impacting surfaces during plasma processing is crucial in determining both
the properties of materials being deposited by plasmas and for the control of the etching of thin films. A new method that allows the ion energy and plasma density to be decoupled has been developed.
