摘要
The axial distribution of the electrostatic potentials of an electron-cyclotron resonance (ECR) processing plasma confined in a dc magnetic mirror geometry was characterized. The potential profiles for argon and helium at 8.0 x 10(-4) and 4.0 x 10(-4) Torr were measured using electron emissive probes. The experimental measurements were then compared with the predictions of a one-dimensional, electrostatic, particle-in-cell computer code which runs on a personal computer. The potential profiles as predicted by the code showed good agreement with the experimental measurements.
