Substrate Level Measurement

Understanding and measuring plasma-surface interactions is essential for a range of applications, including plasma etching in microelectronics, plasma deposition, and surface functionalization. The Impedans Retarding Field Energy Analyser (RFEA) systems measure the ion flux and ion energy distribution hitting a surface in real-time using an imitation substrate (holder plate) with integrated sensors. The holders can have up to 13 sensing elements, which is used to measure the uniformity of ion energy and ion flux at the substrate in industrial plasma applications. This is the industry standard for substrate level measurement of the ion energy distribution in fundamental research and plasma process development.
