A METHOD FOR A REPETITIVE ION BEAM PROCESSING WITH A BY CARBON CONTAINING ION BEAM

A method is provided for a repetitive deposition and etch of a substrate using a carbon containing ion beam in a gridded ion source. The method includes the actual ion beam processing step combined with the thermal and chemical conditioning of the ion source and a special cleaning step(s). The speci...

Zusammenfassung:	A method is provided for a repetitive deposition and etch of a substrate using a carbon containing ion beam in a gridded ion source. The method includes the actual ion beam processing step combined with the thermal and chemical conditioning of the ion source and a special cleaning step(s). The special cleaning step(s) effect robust removal of the precipitates accumulated in the operating source due to the decomposition of carbon containing gases such as hydrocarbons and halocarbons Precipitate removal is achieved by employing ions and radicals formed in an inert gas plasma or a mixture of inert gas and oxygen to reactively etch or bombard the precipitates.
