ABSTRACT:
A plasma processing apparatus for spatial control of dissociation and ionization and a method for controlling the dissociation and ionization in the plasma. An aspect of the present invention provides a plasma processing apparatus for spatial control of dissociation and ionization includes a process chamber, a plasma generating system configured and arranged to produce a plasma in the process chamber, a substrate holder configured to hold a substrate during substrate processing, a gas source configured to introduce gases into the process chamber, a pressure-control system for maintaining a selected pressure within the process chamber, and, a plurality of partitions dividing the internal volume of the process chamber into one or more spatial zones. These partitions extend from a wall of the process chamber toward said substrate holder.
