摘要
Abstract: Microwave plasma (generation frequency 2.45 GHz, power 200–1000 W, pressure 0.2–10 mTorr) is excited and maintained in two main modes: (1) at continuous microwave power and low magnetic fields (B = 300–450 G) under a superdense (Ne > Ncr = 7.4 × 1010 cm−3) plasma and low plasma density (Ne < Ncr); and (2) in high magnetic fields (B = 750–1000 G), close to the ECR condition. The peculiarities of plasma generation under the ECR condition and at the second harmonic of cyclotron resonance are studied. © Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. 2024.
