A study on measurement of the surface charge accumulation using anodic aluminum oxide template
POSTER
Abstract
As the critical dimension of the nano-device shrinks, an undesired etch profile resulting from the local electric field by the surface charge accumulation is made on the plasma processing. To understand and monitor the surface charge accumulation, the measurement of the voltage difference between top electrode and bottom electrode on the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) which has high aspect structure is performed in inductively coupled plasma. The voltage difference is changed with external discharge conditions, such as gas pressure, input power, and gas species, and the result is analyzed with the measured plasma parameters.
