Abstract:

Theoretical studies and optimization of the parameters of a krypton and F2 mixture plasma flow for its composition, density, and temperature have been done to maximize the output of the excimer KrF0* molecules. We have found that the main contribution to the production of excimers near the throat of a nozzle comes from ion-ion recombination. An optimal stagnation temperature exists at which the output of the excimer molecules peaks regardless of the initial densities of gas flows. The following initial parameters of the Kr + F2 plasma: NKr > 1018 cm-3, T0≥1.5x104 K, and NF2 > 1016 cm-3 yield NKrF* ≥1014 cm-3.
