Dry etching characteristics of indium tin oxide films and etch selectivities over photoresist films were investigated using $Cl_2/HBr$ inductively coupled plasma. From a Langmuir probe diagnostic system, it was observed that while the plasma temperature was kept nearly constant in spite of the change of the HBr mixing ratio, the positive ion density decreases rapidly with increasing the mixing ratio. On the other hand, a quadrupole mass spectrometer showed that the neutral HBr and Br species increased. The etching mechanism in the $HBr/Cl_2$ plasma was analyzed.

The inductively coupled plasma(ICP) etching of platinum with BCl$_3$/Cl$_2$ gas chemistry has been studied. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to investigate the chemical binding states of the etched surface. The plasma characteristics was extracted from optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and a single Langmuir probe. In this case of Pt etching using BCl$_3$/Cl$_2$ gas chemistries, the result of OES and Langmuir probe showed the increase of Cl radicals and ion current densities in the plasmas with increasing Cl$_2$ gas ratio. At the same time, XPS results indicated that the intensities of Pt 4f decreased with increasing Cl$_2$ gas ratio. The decrease of Pt 4f intensities implies the increase of residue layer thickness on the etched Pt surface.

Discharge of the flat lamp lighting source research are requested very much. For improving brightness. life time. efficiency of flat lamp and plasma diagnosis of the flat lamp lighting source to understand property of lighting source is very important. When a distance of discharge electrode is 5.5mm and width is 16.5mm. we measured electron temperature and electron density measured with single Langmuir probe in flat lamp. We tested the discharge from 100 Torr to 300 Torr pressure. The pulse type was rectangular with frequency 20kHz and duty ratio was 20%. In result. electron temperature decreases and electron density increased as increase the gas pressure and electron temperature decreases and electron density increase as increase the voltage.

Both conventional and PI3 implanters require dense sources for high productivity rate, and small sheath expansion in PI3 besides. The problem of the creation of large volume uniform plasma in PI3 facilities replaces that of beam forming in accelerators. Some aspects of ion extraction in both cases and Langmuir probe plasma diagnostics with be discussed. Plasma parameters of large volume multicusp dc hot cathode and inductively coupled RF plasma sources obtained with Langmuir probe and ion mass analyzer with be presented. Design features and performances of high current Freeman and ECR ion sources will be described.

Langmuir probe was housed in the sounding rocket to test the probe's performance and to find the environmental parameters at the F layer of the ionosphere. The gold plated cylindrical probe had a length of 14㎝ and a diameter of 0.096 ㎝. The applied voltage to the probe consisted of 0.9 sec fixed positive bias followed by 0.1 sec of down/up sweep. This ensured that the probe swept through the probe's current-voltage characteristic at least once during 1 second quiescent periods enabling the electron temperature to be measured during the undisturbed times of the flight. The experimental results showed good agreement of the temperature distribution with IRI model at the lower F layer. In the upper layer, the experimental temperatures were 100-200K lower than the IRI model's because of the different geomagnetic conditions: averaged conditions were used in IRI model and specific conditions were reflected in the experiment.

Precipitated silicas modified by aluminium were characterised using inverse liquid chromatography in anhydrous heptane with squalene as probes. Their monolayer capacities of adsorption, Langmuir's and Henry's constants were determined from the desorption isotherms according to frontal analysis. A narrow band consisting of isotherms was observed. The introduction of aluminium has little influence on the monolayer capacity, Langmuir's constants and the Henry constant. Experimental data show that neither the amounts of aluminium on the silica nor the methods of the introduction of aluminium into the silica influence the interactions between the squalene and the silicas.

In recent, there have been several developments in lamp technology that promise savings in electrical power consumption and improved quality of the lighting space. Above all, Electrodeless fluorescent lamp is the removal of internal electrodes and heating filaments that are a light-limiting factor of conventional fluorescent lamps. The electrodeless fluorescent lamp is intended as a high efficacy replacement for the incandescent reflector lamp in many applications. Therefore, the electrodeless fluorescent lamps is substantially higher than that of conventional fluorescent lamps and last up to 60,000 hours. In this paper, electron temperature and electron density were measured in a radio-frequency inductively coupled plasma using a Langmuir probe method for emission characteristics. Measurement was conducted in an argon discharge for pressure from 10 [mTorr] and input RF power 100 [W] to 150 [W]. As for the electron density, a electron temperature was more distinguished for a emission characteristic. The results of ideal may contribute to systematic understanding of a electrodeless fluorescent lamps of emission characteristics.

In this paper, the electrical and emission properties of electrodeless fluorescent lamp were discussed using the inductively coupled plasma (ICP) with the variation of argon gas pressure and RF power. The RF output was applied to the antenna in the range of 5∼50 W at 13.56 MHz. The internal plasma voltage of the chamber and the probe current were measured while varying the supply voltage to the Langmuir probe in the range of －100V∼＋100V. When the pressure of argon gas was increased, electric current was decreased. There was a significant electric current increase from 10 to 30 W. Also, when the RF power was increased, electron density was increased. Also, the emission spectrum, Ar- I lins, luminance were investigated. At this time, the input parameter for ICP RF plasma, Ar gas pressure and RF power were applied in the range of 10∼60 mTorr, 10∼300 W, respectively. This implies that this method can be used to find an optimal RF power for efficient light illumination in an electrodeless fluorescent lamp.

플라즈마를 이용하는 공정은 평판 디스플레이와 박막 트렌지스터, LCD 같은 반도체 산업에 널리 사용되고 있다. 최근 이와 같은 산업을 위한 공정은 마이크로 단위 이하에서 진행되고 있으며, 그 크기가 작아질수록 공정을 위한 비용은 증가하게 되었다. 따라서 제품의 대량생산 및 원가절감을 위해 웨이퍼의 대구경화가 진행되었고, 그런 대구경의 웨이퍼을 생산하기 위한 대면적 플라즈마 소스 개발 역시도 필요하게 되었다. 그리고 2014년에는 450 mm 크기의 웨이퍼가 사용될 것으로 예상되고 있다. 450 mm 대구경 웨이퍼용 유도결합플라자마 장치를 이용하여 플라즈마의 특성을 Langmuir probe를 사용하여 측정하였다. 플라즈마를 방전시키는 안테나의 형태는 spiral 형태의 안테나를 사용하였고, 이중주파수를 사용하기 위해 spiral 형태의 안테나를 두개로 나누어 안쪽의 안테나에는 2 Mhz를 바깥쪽의 안테나에는 13.56 Mhz를 인가하였다. 공정 압력은 10 mTorr로 유지하고 안쪽의 2 Mhz 안테나에는 100~800 W까지 변화시키고 바깥쪽의 13.56 Mhz 안테나에는 100~1,000 W까지 변화시켜 그 때의 플라즈마의 특성을 분석해 보았다. Langmuir probe를 이용하여 방전된 플라즈마를 관찰한 결과, 기판 위에서의 플라즈마 균일도가 4~23%가 되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 13.56 Mhz의 인가되는 파워를 고정 시키고 2 Mhz만을 변화시켰을 경우 2 Mhz의 파워를 400 W까지 증가시켰을 때는 플라즈마의 밀도가 서서히 증가하였으나 400 W 이상에서는 밀도가 크게 증가하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 하지만 플라즈마의 온도와 potential의 경우 밀도와는 반대로 2 Mhz에 인가되는 파워가 증가 될수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 위의 실험을 통해 우리는 전자에너지분포함수(EEDFs)를 얻을 수 있었고, 그 안에서 낮은 주파수(2 Mhz)를 이용하여 낮은 에너지를 가진 전자의 밀도를 조절할 수 있다는 것과 높은 주파수(13.56 Mhz)에 인가된 파워가 증가함에 따라 높은 에너지를 얻을 수 있다는 결과를 확인 할 수 있었다.
