Scientific paper

The knowledge of absolute fluxes of reactive species such as radicals or energetic ions to the surface is crucial for understanding the growth or etching of thin films. These species have due to their high reactivity very low densities and their detection is therefore a challenging task. Mass spectrometry is a very sensitive technique and it will be demonstrated that it is a good choice for the study of plasma chemistry. Mass spectrometry measures the plasma composition directly at the surface and is not limited by existence of accessible optical transitions. When properly designed and carefully calibrated mass spectrometry provides absolute densities of the measured species. It can even measure internally excited metastable species. Here, measurement of neutral species and positive ions generated in an atmospheric pressure plasmas jet operated with He, hexamethyldisiloxane and O2 will be presented.
