Experimental setup for testing nanocalorimeter sensors as a plasma diagnostics tool

Abstract

The application of microfabricated nanocalorimeters for real-time, highly sensitive, and selective monitoring of the energy fluxes from low-pressure plasma discharges has been reported recently. Here, we describe the experimental setup for complementary characterization of nanocalorimeters performance using plasma diagnostics techniques. Langmuir probe, retarding field energy analyzer (RFEA), optical emission spectroscopy (OES), quadrupole mass spectrometry (QMS), and thermocouple-based thermometry constitute the plasma monitor suite. We discuss two application examples of the plasma monitor suite: (1) discrimination between electron- and ion-induced heat fluxes via sensor direct current (DC) biasing, and (2) detection of fast temperature transients in pulsed discharges. The main goal of this work is to demonstrate a nanocalorimetry platform as a real-time metrology for plasma processing and process control.
