Modeling of Carbon Plume in PLAD Method Assisted by Ar Plasmas

A plused laser ablation deposition(PLAD) technique has been used for producing fine particle as well as thin film at relatively low substrate temperatures. However, in order to manufacture and evaluate such materials in detail, motions of plume particles generated by laser ablation have to be understood and interactions between the particles by ablation and gas plasma have to be clarified. Therefore this paper was focused on the understanding of plume motion in laser ablation assisted by hi plasmas at 100[mTorr]. One-dimensional hybrid model consisting of fluid and particle models was developed and three kinds of plume particles which are carbon atom(C), $ion(C^+)$ and electron were considered in the calculation of particle method. It was obtained that ablated $C^+$ was electrically captured in Ar plasmas by strong electric field(E). The difference between motions of the ablated electrons and $C^+$ made E strong and the collisional processes active. The energies of plume particles were investigated on a substrate surface. In addition the plume motion in Ar gas was also calculated and discussed.

Ar 플라즈마 상태에서 PLAD법에 의한 탄소 입자의 운동 모델링

고본 논문에서는 시뮬레이션 기법을 통하여 RAD법을 Ar 플라즈마 상태에서 구동하도록 설정하였다. 이것은 플라즈마를 구성하는 요소들이 PLAD법에 의해 방출된 각 입자들에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 확인하고자 하였으며, 특히 방출된 입자들의 운동 에너지 및 밀도를 제어할 수 있을 것으로 기대되어지기 때문이다. Ar 플라즈마의 방전 공간내에서, RAD법에 의한 전자, 탄소 이온$(C^+)$ 및 탄소 원자(C)의 운동 과정을 보다 정확히 계산하기 위해서 입자 및 유체 모델을 융합한 1차원 하이브리드 모델을 계발하였다. 그 결과 쉬스 내에 형성되는 전위를 제어함으로써 기판에 도달하는 $C^+$의 밀도 및 에너지를 제어할 수 있는 것으로 기대되어졌다.
