Abstract

In this study, the characteristics of large area internal linear ICP sources of 1,020mm×920mm (substrate area is 880mm×660mm) were investigated using a multiple linear antennas with U-type parallel connection. Using the multiple linear antennas with U-type parallel connection, a high plasma density of 2 ×1011/cm3 and a high power transfer efficiency of about 88% could be obtained at 5kW of RF power and with 20mTorr Ar. A low plasma potential of less than 26V and a low electron temperature of 2.6-3.2eV could be also obtained. The measured plasma uniformity on the substrate size of 4th generation (880mm×660mm) was about 4%, therefore, it is believed that the multiple linear antennas with U-type parallel connection can be successfully applicable to the large area flat panel display processing.
