## [Introduction to Plasma Damage](https://corial.plasmatherm.com/en/blog/introduction-to-plasma-damage)

Mar 26, 2021 | [Plasma Processing Technology](https://corial.plasmatherm.com/en/blog/tag/plasma-processing-technology) 

 Semiconductor devices are well known to be sensitive to process conditions, and achieving optimum performance requires an understanding of the issues associated with damage. Critical processes in fabricating devices involve plasma. They provide unique capabilities such as dry etching extremely high-resolution patterns and plasma-enhanced deposition approaches used to reduce thermal loads and provide very thin layers. As we continue to push device performance and physics, it is important to better understand plasma processes’ role as they relate to damage....

## [Understanding DC Bias](https://corial.plasmatherm.com/en/blog/understanding-dc-bias)

Dec 21, 2020 | [Plasma Processing Technology](https://corial.plasmatherm.com/en/blog/tag/plasma-processing-technology) 

 Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) etching provides the benefit of nearly independent control of chemical and physical contributions to the etching process. The ICP provides the primary input of energy for creating reactive species and ions. A Radio-Frequency (RF) bias on the substrate electrode imparts the means for controlling the ions’ acceleration and the physical aspect of the etching. Understanding how this bias is created, measured, and its effect on the process helps process development efforts....
