摘要:

为进一步了解在容性耦合等离子体放电时的放电机理与入射到极板处的粒子状态, 通过Particle-In-Cell/Monte Carlo Collision(PIC/MCC)程序模拟氩气与甲烷混合气体放电, 分别对不同Ar/CH4比例和不同极板间隙条件下的电子密度、CH4+、CH3+基团粒子浓度、电子能量概率(EEPF)分布, 以及对到达极板边界粒子的能量角度分布和粒子种类进行模拟计算。模拟结果表明: 在固定Ar/CH4为9∶1时随着极板间距的增大, 放电中心的电子密度、Ar+、CH2-和H-离子密度均呈现先下降后上升的趋势, 而CH4+与CH3+离子密度变化趋势正好相反; 极板间距增大时, 电子能量概率分布由双麦克斯韦分布变为单麦克斯韦分布; 到达极板中电子占比较大, 随极板间距的变小, 到达极板处的Ar+概率先降低后升高, 到达极板的CH4+、CH3+和CH2+离子比例随极板间距增加而增加。在固定极板间距时, 随CH4含量的增加, 放电中心的电子密度、Ar+密度均呈现下降趋势, CH4+、CH3+、CH2-和H-离子的密度均呈上升趋势; 极板间距的变化对EEPF分布的影响比CH4比例变化的影响更加明显; 随CH4含量的增加, 到达极板的电子占比变化不明显, Ar+离子的占比明显减小, 而到达极板处的CH4+、CH3+、CH2+和其余的离子比例均有增加。

Abstract:

To further understand the discharge mechanism and the particle states incident to the pole plate during the capacitively coupled plasma discharge, the discharge of argon and methane gas mixture is simulated by PIC/MCC program, and the electron density, CH4+ and CH3+ group particle concentrations, electron energy probability distribution, as well as the energy angle distribution and particle species of the particles reaching the pole plate boundary are simulated and calculated under different Ar/CH4 ratios and different pole plate gap conditions. The simulation results show that the electron density, Ar+, CH2- and H- ion density in the discharge center decrease and then increase with the increase of the pole plate spacing at a fixed Ar/CH4 of 9∶1, and the CH4+ and CH3+ ion density change in the opposite trend; the electron energy probability function (EEPF) from double Maxwell distribution to single Maxwell distribution when the pole plate spacing increases; the percentage of electrons arriving at the pole plate is larger and changes less with the pole plate spacing, the probability of Ar+ arriving at the pole plate first decreases and then increases, and the percentage of CH4+, CH3+ and CH2+ ions arriving at the pole plate increases with the increase of the pole plate spacing. At fixed pole plate spacing, the electron density and Ar+ density in the discharge center show a decreasing trend with increasing CH4 content, and the densities of CH4+, CH3+, CH2- and H- ions show an increasing trend; the effect of the change in pole plate spacing on the EEPF distribution is more obvious than the effect of the change in CH4 ratio on the EEPF distribution; with the increase in CH4 content, the change in the percentage of electrons arriving at the pole plate is not obvious, and the percentage of Ar+ ions decreases significantly, while the percentage of CH4+, CH3+, CH2+ and the rest of ions arriving at the pole-plate increase.
