<p>A method for operating a plasma reactor having a secondary chamber that is a neutral species source for the main chamber. The method in one embodiment of the invention consists of determining the desired increase in a main chamber neutral particle density to be contributed by the secondary chamber for a given main chamber ion density range, and then to maintain the main chamber source power below a level beneath which the secondary chamber is capable of supplying the desired main chamber neutral density contribution.</p> |
