K. Hou et al., Temporal characteristics of net excitation rates in inductively coupled plasma in Ar and CF4 by one-dimensional relaxation continuum modeling, THIN SOL FI, 386(2), 2001, pp. 239-242
Plasma structure in an inductively coupled plasma reactor is numerically in
vestigated in electropositive Ar and electronegative CF4 under the lowest s
ustaining condition. In the case of Ar, the discharge is maintained under t
he influence of an azimuthal electric field, whilst the CF4 plasma is elect
rostatically sustained by a radial field under the presence of negative ion
