Ion incidence angle distribution on surfaces in plasma etching reactors determines the shape evolution of via holes and trenches through its effects on the spatial variation of ion fluxes along the walls of these microscopic features. We describe a novel retarding-field energy analyzer design that is capable of measuring the energy and the incidence angle distributions of ions bombarding grounded...
