RF Glow Discharge Characteristics of Argon at Low Gas Pressure

In order to study the structure of RF glow discharge driven at 13.56MHz in argon, the discharge voltage, current and phase shift between them will be measured over a wide range of discharge parameters(gas pressure between 1mTorr and 50mTorr with discharge power between 20mW and 200W). In this paper, the dc glow discharge characteristics and plasma parameters of both FTS and CPMS systems are studied experimentally. It is found that for CPMS system discharge is stablized under wider ranges of magnetic field and pressure than for FTS system. The plasma density and electron temperature of the plasma for these two systems are in the range of $10^{10}{\sim}7{\times}10^{11}[cm^{-3}]$ and $3.5{\sim}6.5$[eV], respectively.
