Ion Molecule and Dust Particle Formation in Ar/CH4, Ar/C2H2 and Ar/C3H6 Radio‐frequency Plasmas

Abstract: Molecule and particle formation in a capacitively coupled radio-frequency discharge has been investigated. Formation of molecular ions has been investigated by means of plasma process monitoring employing energydispersive mass spectrometry. Particle growth has been studied by recording the intensity of the transmitted and scattered laser light signal from the particle cloud. An oscillation of the transmitted laser intensity was observed which is caused by periodic formation and expansion of a central void. Thi… Show more

“…4.4. The intensity of the scattered laser light exhibits a periodical behavior that is already known from previous works [83,84]. Approximately 35 s after the ignition of the acetylene discharge the whole region between the electrodes is filled with dust particles and the intensity of the scattered light exhibits a maximum.…”

“…The maxima are located at around 58, 70, 82, 96, 110, 123, 135 and 149 amu, it seems that the period Δ m is between 12 and 15 amu (C, CH, CH 2 , CH 3 ). This periodicity can be explained by a polymerization process where CH x groups are attached to several molecules 16–18…”
