Abstract

This study was an investigation of plasma-induced damages on silicon substrate in the semiconductor manufacturing technology. The plasma-induced damage level on silicon substrate was analyzed and compared in various plasma etching systems. The analysis methods were therma wave, life-time recovery, SCA (Surface Charge Analyzer) and TRXF (Total Reflection X-ray Fluorescence) measurements, and the measured values were compared for each systems. In the comparison of the values which were obtained by a system that had low life-time recovery, there was not any differences in DC parameters. However, the reflesh time distribution of device of that system had decreased about 10 to 20m sec compared to a system which had high life-time recovery.
