Generation and Applications of a Broad Atomic Oxygen Beam with a High Flux-Density via Collision-Induced Dissociation of O2

We detail the generation of a pulsed atomic oxygen(AO)broad beam with a high flux-density via collision-induced dissociation of O2 to support practical industrial exploitation of AOs,particularly for facilitating 2-dimenstional oxidation/etching at a fast rate of one-monolayer per second in an area ≥ 1000 cm2.This innovation fuses the following interdisciplinary concepts:(a)a high density of O+can be produced in an electron-cyclotron-resonance(ECR)O2 plasma;(b)O+can be extracted and accelerated with an aper-ture-electrode in the plasma;(c)O+with adequate kinetic energy can initiate a cascade of gas-phase collisions in the presence of O2;(d)collision-induced dissociation of O2 yields AOs with adequate kinetic energy which can cause additional collision-induced dissocia-tion of O2.Computational simulations of such collisions,with both ab initio molecular dynamics and direct simulation Monte Carlo methods,are used to guide the experimental generation of the proposed AO-beam.We experimentally demonstrate the highest known AO mean flux-density of about 1.5 × 1016 atoms·cm-2·s-1 in a broad-beam,and use it to oxidatively modify a self-assembled molecular layer of siloxane on a silicon wafer.In addition,we also demonstrate the growth of Al2O3 through an AO-assisted atomic layer deposition process at room temperature.
