Abstract

Electron temperature and electron density were measured in a radio-frequency inductively coupled plasma (RFICP) using a probe measurements. Measurement was conducted in an argon discharge for pressures from 10 [mTorr] to 40 [mTorr] and input rf power from 100 [W] to 800 [W], Ar flow rate from 5 [sccm] to 30 [sccm], Spatial distribution electron temperature and electron density were measured for discharge with same aspect ratio (R/L=2). Electron temperature and electron density were discovered depending on both pressure and power, Ar flow rate. Electron density was increased with increasing input power and in creasing pressure, increasing Ar flow rate. Radial distribution of the electron density was peaked in the plasma center. Normal distribution of the electron density was peaked in the center between quartz plate and substrate. From these results, We found out the generation mechanism of Radio-Frequency Inductively Coupled Plasma.
