Remote Plasma Source Generating A Disc-Shaped Plasma

US Patent:
2012024, Sep 27, 2012
Filed:
Mar 20, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/425159
Inventors:
Daniel J. Hoffman - Fort Collins CO, US
Daniel Carter - Fort Collins CO, US
Randy Grilley - Ault CO, US
Karen Peterson - Loveland CO, US
Assignee:
ADVANCED ENERGY INDUSTRIES, INC. - Fort Collins CO
International Classification:
H05H 1/46
US Classification:
31511151
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems, methods and apparatuses for dissociating a non-activated gas through a disc-shaped plasma in a remote plasma source. Two inductive elements, one on either side of the disc-shaped plasma, generate a magnetic field that induces electric fields that sustain the disc-shaped plasma. The inductive elements can be coiled conductors having any number of loops and can be arranged in planar or vertical coils or a combination of planar and vertical coils. Additionally, the ratio of inductive element radius to gap distance between the two inductive elements can be configured to achieve a desired vertical plasma confinement.

Electrostatic Remote Plasma Source

US Patent:
2012018, Jul 26, 2012
Filed:
Jan 23, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/356546
Inventors:
Daniel J. Hoffman - Fort Collins CO, US
Daniel Carter - Fort Collins CO, US
Victor Brouk - Fort Collins CO, US
Karen Peterson - Loveland CO, US
Randy Grilley - Pierce CO, US
Assignee:
Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. - Fort Collins CO
International Classification:
H05H 1/46
US Classification:
31511151
Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for capacitively coupling energy into a plasma to ignite and sustain the plasma within a remote plasma source. The power is provided by a first electrode that at least partially surrounds or is surrounded by a second electrode. The second electrode can be grounded or floating. First and second dielectric components can be arranged to separate one or both of the electrodes from the plasma and thereby DC isolate the plasma from one or both of the electrodes.
