RASIRC Study Shows Hydrogen Plasma Damage Minimized by Hydrogen Peroxide Gas

A recent study by RASIRC shows that H2O2 doping during hydrogen plasma exposure substantially protected oxide layers while metal or organic layers were processed. This finding supports the use of hydrogen plasma and hydrogen peroxide gas in area selective deposition applications that otherwise risked oxide layer damage. This could reduce step count, cleaning, and process variables. Results of the study will be presented at ASD 2022 in San Francisco.
