Influence of the temporal variations of plasma composition on the cyclic formation of dust in hexamethyldisiloxane-argon radiofrequency discharges: Analysis by time-resolved mass spectrometry

Cyclic formation of dust nanoparticles in hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO, Si2O(CH3)6)-argon RF discharge with pulsed injection of HMDSO was studied using time-resolved mass spectrometry (MS) and optical emission spectroscopy (OES). A large amount of C2H2, considered as promoter of dust nucleation in hy...
