Two-dimensional cylindrical plasma for intermediate gas pressures
نویسندگان
چکیده
A two-dimensional hydrodynamic model for a bounded plasma cylinder is developed. This model establishes a bridge between the two limiting cases presented by Godyak and Sternberg (2008 Plasma Sources Sci. Technol. 17 0250042): the diffusion-controlled regime and the free-fall regime. An analysis of the bounded plasma cylinder with arbitrary aspect ratios and arbitrary collisionality is presented. Plasma parameters relevant in applications are found for a wide range of aspect ratios and collisionality.

متن کاملThree-dimensional model of electron beam generated plasma
A three-dimensional model for magnetized electron beam generated plasma is described, which includes a coupled fluid simulation of the bulk plasma and a Monte Carlo model for beam electrons. A modified form of the classical expressions for magnetized-plasma electron transport coefficients is used in the fluid plasma model. The plasma model is calibrated and validated using Langmuir probe measur...

The transition metal nitrides like titanium nitride exhibit very interesting color variation properties depending on the different plasma deposition conditions using cylindrical magnetron sputtering method. It is found in this deposition study that nitrogen partial pressure in the reactive gas discharge environment plays a significant role on the color variation of the film coatings on bell-met...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations of standing waves and wave-induced hysteresis in asymmetric capacitive discharges
Asymmetrically excited, high frequency cylindrical capacitive discharges are widely used for materials etching and thin film deposition. Two-dimensional (2D) electrostatic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations show the existence of standing waves and wave-induced hysteresis of the plasma density, i.e. two different steady states for the same driving rf voltage amplitude, when the voltage is increa...
متن کاملFour dimensional Fokker-Planck solver for electron kinetics in collisional gas discharge plasmas
Gas discharge plasmas are widely used in many modern technologies. Unique properties of these weaklyionized plasmas are determined by their highly non-equilibrium state: distributions of electrons and ions substantially deviate from (equilibrium) Maxwellian distributions. These deviations are especially important for electrons which are responsible for ionization processes and plasma maintenanc...
