The diameter of the quartz plate is 20 cm, ie up to 2 4" wafers, 3 3" wafers or 4 2" wafers can be processed simultaneously. The area, A, of the quartz plate is 314 cm<sup>2</sup>.
The diameter of the quartz plate is 20 cm with a recess for 4" wafers, ie up to one 4" wafer, one 3" wafer or one 2" wafer or several smaller samples can be processed simultaneously. To strike a plasma, the applied power should be 50 W or more; if a process needs a lower power during etch it is necessary to initially strike the plasma with eg 50 W (higher powers are needed for lower gas pressures) for 5-10 sec where after the power can be lowered to the desired value.
 
The intensity of the plasma is the ratio of power applied to the plasma, P, to the area, A, of the quartz plate. A power of 1000 W thus gives a plasma intensity of 0.32 W/cm<sup>2</sup>. To strike a plasma, the applied power should be 50 W or more; if a process needs a lower power during etch it is necessary to initially strike the plasma with eg 50 W (higher powers are needed for lower gas pressures) for 5-10 sec where after the power can be lowered to the desired value.
