  14. Example Data Example Data EQP measuring every 20 ms C+ at ~20ppb 100 ppb

  15. Electron Energy Spectra Electron Energy Spectra The data compares the appearance potentials for the principle cluster ions formed from Buckminsterfullerene

  16. Negative Ions/Ion Energy Distribution Negative Ions / Ion Energy Distributions The data show the presence of O- formed from e-+ CO2  O-+ … Discrete paths at e- energies of 70, 8.5 and 4.2 eV. The ion energy distribution of these species is seen to be a function of the electron energy involved.

  17. Energy Analysis of Plasma Components SF+ Energy V SF2+ SF3+ Energy V Energy V Energy Analysis of Plasma Components F+ ions Energy V • Even in an apparently homogeneous plasma the individual component species can exhibit a wide variation in energies.

  18. Examination of Plasma-Specific Processes Examination of Plasma-Specific Processes H-/CH4 Plasma Off e- + H2 = H- H-/CH4 Plasma On • The plasma produces activated species as well as electrons. • These species can interact and react in highly specific fashion e.g. hydride anion formation.

  19. Electron Attachment Analysis Electron Attachment Analysis • O- species may be formed from various precursors e.g. CO, CO2, N2O via electron attachment and subsequent dissociation. However the low energy resonant electrons required for this process are characteristic of the precursor involved.
