Ion density distribution in an inductively coupled plasma chamber

The ion density distribution in the reaction chamber was diagnosed by a Langmuir probe. The rules of the ion density distribution were obtained under the pressures of 9 Pa, 13 Pa, 27 Pa and 53 Pa in the reaction chamber, different radio-frequency powers and different positions. The result indicates that the ion density decreases as the pressure increases, and increases as the power decreases. The ion density of axial position z=0 achieves 5.8 x 1010 on the center of coil under the power of 200 w and pressure of 9 Pa in the reaction chamber. (author)
