Multi-scale simulation of plasma generation and film deposition in a circular type DC magnetron sputtering system

The target erosion profiles are expected from the ion current density distribution on the sputter target simulated by two-dimensional PIC-MCC magnetron plasma simulator, and these profiles are compared with the experimental results. We present a discussion about the optimum detection range for the quasi-steady state of magnetron plasma in PIC-MCC simulation. Macro/microfilm deposition simulator predicts the macrofilm uniformity over the wafer and the micro-deposition topography in the micro-holes. Finally, we present a new algorithm, which can generate an asymmetric angular flux distribution, based on Monte Carlo method for microfilm deposition simulation.
