Abstract
The plasma-induced charging of surfaces during semiconductor processing has been measured noninvasively and in situ using microelectromechanical charge sensing devices. We have shown that this sensor reading can be used to predict degradation in Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) capacitors. The charging voltage scales with oxide thickness and is found to be a strong function of input rf power, chamber pressure and type of gas used in the plasma.
