Abstract
대기압 하에서 정상적으로 저온 플라스마가 발생 가능한 장치를 개발했다. 본 장치는 한쪽의 전극(애노드)에 유전체(알루미나)를 피복하여 평행하게 배치한 구조이다. 전극간 유전체의 비유전율이 방전특성에 영향을 주는 효과를 검토하기 위해서 탐침법, 발광분광법에 의해 특성을 검토했다. 그 결과, 전자온도>여기온도>진동온도>기체온도의 관계가 있는 비평형상태의 플라스마이었다. 또한, 본 장치를 이용하여 산화물 ZnO 박막의 식각에도 적용해 보았다.
Under atmospheric pressure, an apparently homogeneous and stable plasma can be generated from an insulator barrier rf plasma generator of which contains an rf powered cathode and a grounded anode covered with a dielectric insulating material. This is a structure in which the dielectric materials are covered and arranged in parallel in the one side of electrode. In order to characterize the generating plasma under atmospheric pressure, some basic characteristics have been evaluated by the Langmuir probe method as well as by optical emission spectroscopy. From the result of plasma characteristics, the generated plasma was verified to be non-equilibrium; T(electron)>T(excitation)>T(vibration)>T(gas). We tried to apply this to etching of an Zinc oxide(ZnO) films also.
