Abstract

We have studied the ion energy and angular distribution functions in a 2MHz capacitive discharge using combined particle in cell Monte Carlo collision simulations. We found that secondary electrons produced by ion bombardment from the electrodes make important contribution to the ionization at higher gas pressure. Calculations showed that the ion flux on the electrode is very sensitive to the plasma parameters. However, the ion angular distribution function weakly responds to a change of the gas pressure.
