The plasma density in the plasma etching experimental application are diagnosed by a Langmuir single probe and the effects on CCl2F2 plasma etching InSbIn thin film is studied.The experimental results show that the plasma etching experimental device could produce high density plasma.The number of the plasma density was 6.717?0×1010cm-3 on the surface of the sample.The CCl2F2 plasma could etch InSbIn thin film effectively.
