We derive an analytical formula for the electron inelastic mean free path (IMFP) from its definition within the dielectric formalism. The parameters in this formula are determined solely by the optical energy-loss function of the material of interest. This formula is valid for electrons of energy larger than 500 eV, i…

The mechanism of CO2 plasma ashing process was evaluated. CO2 plasma is a good candidate for the ashing process for photoresists because it generates a lot of CO2 ions. These ions can ash equivalent amounts of carbon film with less low-k damage than can oxygen radicals. A high ratio of CO2 ions to oxygen radicals in C…
