 note = {Fluorination of Al2O3 and Y2O3 surfaces was investigated by irradiating high-density, helicon-wave CF4 /O2 and SF6 /O2 plasmas. The Al2O3 surface bombarded by high-flux positive ions of the CF4 /O2 plasma was fluorinated significantly. On contrast, Y2O3 was less fluorinated than Al2O3 when they were irradiated by the same CF4 /O2 plasma. The analysis of the Al2O3 surface irradiated by the CF4 /O2 plasma suggests that the fluorination is triggered by reactions between fluorocarbon deposit and Al–O bonding with the assistance of ion bombardment. On the other hand, irradiation of the SF6 /O2 plasma induced less significant fluorination on the Al2O3 surface. This suggests a lower reaction probability between sulfur fluoride deposit and Al–O bonding. The difference in the fluorination of the Al2O3 and Y2O3 surfaces induced by the irradiations of the CF4 /O2 and SF6 /O2 plasmas is understood by comparing the bonding energies of C–O, S–O, Al–O, and Y–O.},
