Abstract:
1. A process for depositing a component on a substrate, the process comprising: (a) providing a microwave plasma assisted reactor comprising: wherein L2 and L1 are capable of adjustment in the reactor by moving the conducting short, such that different microwave modes are produced in the first microwave chamber and in the second microwave chamber during operation of the reactor; (b) operating the reactor at a pressure ranging from about 10 Torr to about 760 Torr; (c) adjusting the axial position of the conducting short and optionally the conductive stage of the reactor to optimize at least one of (i) a deposition area of the substrate having a deposition non-uniformity of 15% or less, (ii) a reactor power density, and (iii) a component deposition rate; and, (d) depositing a component on the substrate.
