Abstract: | The fluid model, also called the macroscopic model, is commonly used to simulate low temperature and low pressure radiofrequency plasma discharges. By varying the parameters of the model, numerical simulation allows us to study several cases, providing us the physico-chemical information that is often difficult to obtain experimentally. In this work, using the fluid model, we employ numerical simulation to show the effect of pressure and space between the reactor electrodes on the fundamental properties of silicon plasma diluted with ammonia and hydrogen. The results show the evolution of the fundamental characteristics of the plasma discharge as a function of the variation of the pressure and the distance between the electrodes. By examining the pressure-distance product in a range between 0.3 Torr 2.7 cm and 0.7 Torr 4 cm, we have determined the optimal pressure-distance product that allows better deposition of hydrogenated silicon nitride(Si N_x H_y)films which is 0.7 Torr 2.7 cm. |
