Description

A plasma produced by a helical RF structure of the Lisitano type is investigated. Measurements of electron density, electron temperature, and plasma stability are reported as a function of RF frequency and power, magnetic field strength and geometry, and neutral argon pressure. It is concluded that at moderate power (~20 W), electron cyclotron resonance is important in the power absorption process.
