چکیده

Short pulses of neutral particles generated by laser ablation of metal targets have been injected into the Frankfurt 14 GHz electron cyclotron resonance ~ECR! ion source. Rise/fall times of pulses of highly charged ions of Cd and Mg were registered as a function of microwave power and gas pressure. From a comparison of the measured data to numerical simulations, values of the electron density and the temperature in the ECR plasma were estimated to be about 0.75310 cm and a few keV. The effective electron temperature increases with increasing microwave power and decreases with increasing gas pressure. The electron density is only a weak function of the microwave power, but increases significantly with the gas pressure. In the Ar/O2 gas-mixing mode of operation, an improved confinement of lowly charged ions was observed. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1361087#

Magnetically confined plasma can be heated with high power microwave sources. In spherical torus the electron plasma frequency exeeds the electron cyclotron frequency (EC) and, as a consequence, electromagnetic waves at fundamental and low harmonic EC cannot propagate within the plasma. In contrast, electron Bernstein waves (EBWs) readily propagate in spherical torus plasma and are absorbed str...

Consequences of mode structure on plasma properties in electron cyclotron resonance sources

Low pressure ~,50 mTorr! electron cyclotron resonance plasma sources are being developed for downstream etching and deposition and for production of radicals for surface treatment. The spatial coupling of microwave radiation to the plasma is a concern due to issues related to the uniformity of dissociation, electron heating, and ultimately process uniformity. To investigate these issues, a fini...
