Plasma abatement reduces PFC emission

Article Abstract:

Studies on surface wave plasma and inductively coupled plasma devices indicate the ability of point-of-use plasma abatement devices to achieve high destruction and removal efficiency for thermally stable fluorocompound (FC) gases from plasma etch instruments. Plasma abatement is a sound option to thermal abatement equipment for reduction of FC emissions from dielectric etch applications, provider higher performance and lesser amounts of CoO.
