Enhanced control of the ionization rate in radio-frequency plasmas with structured electrodes via tailored voltage waveforms
Radio-frequency capacitively coupled plasmas that incorporate structured electrodes enable increases in the electron density within spatially localized regions through the hollow cathode effect (HCE). This enables enhanced control over the spatial profile of the plasma density, which is useful for several applications including materials processing, lighting and spacecraft propulsion. However, ...
متن کاملCapacitively-coupled radio-frequency hydrogen discharges: the role of kinetics
This paper presents a systematic characterization of capacitively-coupled radio-frequency hydrogen discharges, produced within a parallel plate cylindrical setup at different rf applied voltages (Vrf = 50− 600 V), frequencies (f = 13.56− 40.56 MHz), and pressures (p = 0.2− 1 torr). A twodimensional, time-dependent fluid model for charged particle transport is self-consistently solved coupled to...

In this paper, a review on microplasma discharges is conducted. The different types and configurations used in microplasmas such as the Cathode Boundary Layer (CBL), Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD), Capillary Plasma Electrode Discharge (CPED), Inverted Square Pyramid (ISP), Square Cross Sectional Cavities (SCSC), Radio Frequency Inductively Coupled Discharge (RFIC), Radio Frequency Capacitiv...
متن کامل3 M ay 2 00 7 Particle - based modeling of oxygen discharges
We present an one-dimensional particle-in-cell Monte-Carlo model for capacitively coupled radio-frequency discharges in oxygen. The model quantitatively describes the central part of the discharge. For a given voltage and pressure, it self-consistently determines the electric potential and the distribution functions for electrons, negatively charged atomic oxygen, and positively charged molecul...
متن کاملFormation of Coulomb Crystals in a Capacitively Coupled Plasma
Dust particle transport in low-temperature plasmas has received considerable attention due to the desire to minimize contamination of wafers during plasma processing of microelectronic devices and as their use to study nonideal plasmas. Observations of dust particles in radio frequency discharges have shown that particles form Coulomb crystals and display collective behavior. Images are present...
