摘要
A capacitively coupled Ar plasma was produced by the ultra-high frequency power source (450 MHz) and the plasma parameters were studied by laser Thomson scattering. It was found that a very high density plasma with a low electron temperature was realized; the electron densityn(e)is around (1.1-1.5) x 10(18)m(-3)and the electron temperatureT(e)is around (1.7-2.1) eV. Radial profiles ofn(e)andT(e)were obtained for different pressures and powers. In all the conditions explored,n(e)had a single-center-peak profile, whileT(e)profiles were relatively flat along the electrode.
