Abstract

A 1D numerical model has been developed for a capacitively-coupled RF parallel plate argon-silane dusty plasma. The Hybrid Method of Moments has been used to solve the aerosol population balance equations. The aerosol module is self consistently coupled with a plasma module. This simplified model treats the nucleation and surface growth rates as input parameters. Operating conditions include 13.56 MHz frequency, applied RF voltage of 65 V, 17 Pa pressure, 4-cm electrode gap, grounded bottom electrode, showerhead-type top electrode with gas flow consisting of a 30:1 argon silane ratio. Simulation results are presented and compared with the results of a corresponding sectional method under the same test conditions.
