Abstract

See full text

A plasma tube comprising a vacuum sealing ceramic outer tube, a porous ceramic insert disposed on the inside wall of the outer tube, and a source of high frequency radiation, for example, an RF coil wrapped around the tube, to excite gas flowing through the bore of the insert into a plasma. The invention is particularly useful as an exhaust scrubber for oxidizing exhaust gases from a semiconductor processing chamber. A catalyst may be embedded in the porous insert to promote the scrubbing reaction. The invention may also be used in an applicator of a remote plasma source.
