ABSTRACT

Silicon electrode and ring in a plasma etcher those are in contact with harsh plasma suffer from periodic heating and cooling during their lifetime. This causes the silicon components failure due to thermal stress remaining the persistent slip bands (PSBs) on their surfaces. The factors that determine the lifetime of silicon electrode and ring were discussed with respect to silicon ingot. The impurity level and the average defect concentration measured with glow discharge mass spectrometer (GDMS) and microwave photo-conductance decay (μ-PCD) were compared with the grade of silicon ingots those are divided to slip-free and slip-allowed ingot. Some silp-allowed samples showed planar defects along <110> direction on {001} surface. The role of these defects was suggested from the viewpoint of the lifetime of silicon components.
