Research
|
Dr. Grotjohn's scholarly interests include the modeling,
design, diagnostics, and control of plasma-assisted materials processes and
processing machines. This work focuses on the use of models, including
electromagnetic, plasma dynamic, and plasma chemistry models, for the design
and control of microwave plasma reactors used for materials processing.
Specific processes studied have included diamond CVD
deposition, amorphous carbon deposition, semiconductor etching, and general
microwave-generated plasma discharges operated as ion and radical sources. In
coordination with the modeling studies are plasma diagnostic studies
including a variety of techniques including optical emission spectroscopy,
laser spectroscopy, Langmuir probes, and millimeter wave resonator
diagnostics. Recent work is especially looking at mini- and micro-scale
plasma discharges and their application.
