Description

The design and experimental investigation of a new-type plasma source produced by electromagnetic surface waves is given. The experimental results show that the source has successfully produced a homogeneous plasma column in diameter over 160 mm with electron density of 1010-1011 cm-3 and electron temperature of several eV at a pressure below 230 Pa. This manifests that the source is adaptable to large-area and large-volume plasmas
