Q: contaminations attached to surfaces of silicon or indium phosphide such as polymer in the process of etching need to be cleaned,is the cleaner able to do that? if so, do we need processing ga(es) to go with? please list them as well, if we do need. Thank you.
A: Harrick plasma cleaners have been used to remove monolayers or thin layers of organic or polymer films (typically 10-100 nm thick), using air or oxygen as the process gas. Oxygen would be more efficient in polymer film etching, as there would be more reactive oxygen species to react with the organic material. Etchrates are typically about 10-20nm/min at High RF power.
