Description

A theory is developed that makes it possible to calculate RF power absorption in an inductive plasma source. Conditions are determined under which most of the power is deposited in the plasma. It is shown that these conditions correspond to the excitation of spatial waves (an oblique Langmuir wave and a helicon wave). A simple self-consistent model of a plasma source is proposed that describes all of the experimentally observed distinctive properties of plasma sources well
