  • Abstract
    The letter presents an RF method for determining the sheath thickness of a plane probe immersed in a plasma and biased with a dc voltage. Expressions are derived giving the sheath thickness in terms of the RF impedance of the probe for different regions of the V - iecharacteristic.
