The electronic identity of inductive and capacitive plasmas
Abstract
An electronic identity relation, relating capacitively coupled plasma sources to corresponding inductively coupled plasma sources, has been derived, starting from the Maxwell relations for matter and the characteristics of a capacitor and of an inductor. Furthermore, the breakdown conditions for both capacitively coupled plasmas and for inductively coupled plasmas as well as their optimal operation frequency ranges are discussed.
