Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE: Showerhead configuration for plasma reactors is provided to increase the ion energy of plasma without increasing the size of a shower head and/or a processing chamber by increasing a surface area of a shower head. CONSTITUTION: A downstream plasma apparatus(100) includes a downstream plasma source chamber(102) and an exposure chamber(104) separated by a shower head assembly(106). The shower head assembly includes a shower head(108). A wafer(112) is placed on a top portion of a platen, a stage, or a workpiece supporting unit(114) inside the exposure chamber. The surface of the shower head contacting the platen is separated from a wafer surface on an upper portion of the platen about 0.5-2 inch.
