  • Abstract
    Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) reactors utilize multidimensional antenna segments among other azimuthally asymmetric components. Computed 3-D electric fields, power deposition, and electron density are presented for an ICP using a 3-D electromagnetic plasma model, which self-consistently treats the electromagnetic phenomena and the antenna-plasma coupling.
