Abstract

Spatial structures of charged particles in Ar/CF4 RF (13.56 MHz) capacitive discharges were investigated by changing the CF4 content up to 10% over the pressure range from 0.03 to 0.10 Torr, while keeping the discharge current at 250 mA. The ratio of negative ion to electron densities at the center was in the range from 2 to 12. The measured negative ions occupied the entire plasma region with a flat top profile at the center except at the pressure of 0.03 Torr and CF4 content lower than 5%, while the electron density distribution was uniform in the entire plasma region.
