Plasma production by helicon and slow waves

  • 1. Department of Energy Engineering and Science, Nagoya University, Nagoya 464-8603 (Japan)

Description

The observation of slow-wave sustained (SW) discharge in a whistler- or helicon-wave range of frequency is made using high-frequency and very-high-frequency bands of rf. The SW discharge occurs at an extremely low rf power and plasma density, which are lower than a capacitive-coupling discharge region
