Abstract:Effects of gas flow on rf plasmas between parallel plates under plasma processing conditions are investigated using a Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) and a fluid model calculation. It has shown that the gas flow changes the ion density distribution in the bulk region of the rf plasma where the velocity of gas flow is faster than that of the ion diffusion motion. Comparison of the results of the MCS with those of the fluid model calculation has shown that the fluid model in which the velocity of gas flow is added … Show more
