Abstract
The electron energy distribution function (EEDF) in the E to H mode transition region of an inductively coupled argon discharge has been studied experimentally. The EEDF, which has a Maxwellian- or Druyvesteyn-like shape (depending on pressure) in both “pure” modes, shows a trend to a bi-Maxwellian shape in the vicinity of both the E to H and the H to E mode transitions. Moreover, the normalized electron energy probability functions closely before the E to H and the reverse H to E mode jumps are almost identical, indicating a similar power coupling at both transition points.
