Radio frequency potential of inductive plasma immersed in a weak magnetic field

  • 1. OSRAM SYLVANIA, 71 Cherry Hill Drive, Beverly, Massachusetts 01915 (United States)

Description

Radio frequency potential has been revealed in inductively coupled plasma (ICP) immersed in a weak magnetic field. The rf plasma potential measured in a wide range of driving frequency and argon pressure reached tens of volts at a relatively weak magnetic field and was found falling with an increase in the driving frequency and gas pressure. The appearance of rf plasma potential in magnetized ICP is interpreted as a result of rf Hall effect caused by the electron rf drift in a crossed magnetic field
