Description

Helicon plasma source was developed as a prototype for application in linear plasma devises for plasma material interaction. Using Nagoya-type-III antenna hydrogen plasma is produced at 13.56 MHz frequency and with rf power up to 5 kW inside a quartz discharge chamber of 108 mm outer diameter and 400 mm axial length. Five coils installed outside the discharge chamber produce the magnetic field with two maxima at the ends of the chamber. Efficiency of plasma production and density distribution are very sensitive to geometry and magnetic field strength. In this paper, radial distribution of the plasma density and electron temperature as a function of the rf power, magnetic field geometry and strength, and gas pressure are presented and discussed.
