Abstract

The mode transitions of cylindrical inductively coupled plasmas have been studied on the basis of the equivalent circuit model included both inductive (H-mode) and capacitive (E-mode) coupling branches. The pure inductive discharge is considered as a co-axial one-turn secondary winding of an air-core transformer, while a capacitive current is assumed to flow from a high voltage coil plate to a grounded electrode via a quartz glass and sheaths. The dependence of the plasma density on RF voltage amplitude is calculated as a function of the ratio of angular excitation frequency to electron-neutral collision frequency, ω/νc. It is found that the E-H mode jump with the hysteresis phenomenon occurs at ω/νc>1, on the other hand the plasma density continuously increases from E- to H-mode at ω/νc<1.
