  • Abstract
    Ignition of peripheral plasma was examined in low-pressure (100-mtorr) RF capacitive coupled plasma by means of kinetic and fluid models. Plasma density and potential profiles are presented to visualize peripheral-plasma ignition. A dielectric gap size is an important parameter for a dense and stable plasma source.
