  • Abstract
    We have developed a self-consistent fluid model that couples plasma dynamics, Navier-Stokes equations, and Maxwell´s equations to analyze inductively coupled plasma reactors used in semiconductor processing. Two dimensional simulations of an N2 plasma have been performed and found to agree well with experimental data. Images of plasma density, gas and ion traces are provided
