Fig. 61. LabVIEW block diagram for PC control of automatic PEALD process.<br />

Plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) of HfN thin films is carried out in a<br />

home built ALD system. The alternative introduction of processing gases and pulse of plasma<br />

power are synchronized by a self written PC controlled LabVIEW program, as shown in Fig. 61.<br />

The main equipments used and their communication parameters are listed below.<br />

1. RF power generator (Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. RF series 10/25 with frequency<br />

of 13.56 MHz and maximum power of 550 W)<br />

RS232 communication interface: Baud rate 9600; Date bits 8; Stop bit 1; Parity No.<br />

2. Programmable relay for gas pulsing (OMRON Electronics/ZEN)<br />

2-wire RS485 interface: Baud rate 9600; Date bits 7; Stop bit 2; Parity Even.<br />

3. Pressure measurement and control (MKS 146)<br />

RS232 interface (DE-9 cable): Baud rate 9600; Date bits 7; Stop bit 1; Parity Even.<br />
