Abstract

A quadripole mass spectrometer was installed on the line of a PCVD system to measure the depletion fraction of silane and the monosilicon radicals in the discharges. The paper presents a method of measuring the depletion fraction of silane when setting the mass spectrometer at the high ionization voltage. The experimental results were compared and accordant with those reported before [1,2,3].
