MPCVD 柱形腔中电子密度分布特性数值模拟分析

Numerical Simulation Analysis of Electron Density Distribution Characteristics in MPCVD Cylindrical Cavity

  • 摘要: 使用微波等离子体法沉积多晶金刚石薄膜过程中,工艺参数调整往往对等离子体球大小及均匀性影响较大。文章基于实验室自制的5 kW MPCVD柱形腔,通过耦合多物理场,在氢气放电环境下对不同工艺参数条件下钼板表面轴向及径向电子密度分布进行研究,并结合变异系数评价等离子体分布的均匀性。主要工艺参数包括输入特性(功率、压强),不同钼板高度以及不同高度钼环使用。仿真结果表明:等离子体球的体积随功率增加而增加,随着压强的增大而减小,相比较于功率,压强改变对离子体球轴向电子密度均匀性影响较大;钼板高度较低或较高均会影响表面径向均匀性,随着钼板高度增加边缘放电现象越明显;钼环的增加能够改善表面均匀性,钼板与钼环高度在持平附近径向均匀性较好,其中钼板高出钼环0.2 mm变异系数为11.1%,相比较于无钼环工况下径向均匀性提高了59.6%。

     

    Abstract: In the process of depositing polycrystalline diamond thin films by microwave plasma method, the adjustment of process parameters often has a greater impact on the size and uniformity of the plasma ball. Based on the 5 kW MPCVD cylindrical chamber made in the laboratory, this paper combines multiple physical fields to study the axial and radial electron density distribution on the surface of tungsten plate under hydrogen discharge conditions under different process parameter conditions, and evaluates the uniformity of the plasma distribution using the coefficient of variation. The main process parameters include input characteristics (power and pressure), different heights of tungsten plates, and the use of different height tungsten rings. The simulation results show that the volume of the plasma ball increases with the increase of power and decreases with the increase of pressure. Compared with power, pressure change has a greater impact on the axial uniformity of the plasma ball electron density. The surface radial uniformity of the tungsten plate will be affected by the height being too low or too high, and the more obvious edge discharge phenomenon will be observed as the height increases. The addition of tungsten rings can improve the surface uniformity, and the radial uniformity is better when the height of the tungsten plate and the tungsten ring is approximately the same, among which the coefficient of variation of the radial uniformity is 11.1% when the tungsten plate is 0.2 mm higher than the tungsten ring, an improvement of 59.6% compared with the condition without tungsten ring.
