Popis: This study discusses modeling of a magneto-microwave plasma used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment such as etching reactors and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactors. A one-dimensional simulation program for magneto-microwave plasma was developed. This combines a Monte Carlo particle plasma model and an electromagnetic wave damping model. With the use of this simulation, a plasma production mechanism with electron cyclotron resonance and electromagnetic wave damping in a partially ionized gas can be analyzed. Typical results of the effect of gas pressure on the plasma distribution in plasma processing equipment are presented.
