Abstract
Dielectric wall charging of a cylindrical glass wall surrounded by a helicon antenna of 18 cm length is measured in a linear helicon plasma device with a diverging magnetic field. The ions because of their lesser mobility do not respond to the high frequency electric field and the electrons charge the wall to a negative DC potential also known as the DC self-bias. The wall potential in this device is characterized for different neutral pressure, magnetic field, and radio frequency (RF) power. Axial variation of wall potential shows higher self-bias potentials near the antenna rings. Ion magnetization in the source chamber increases both wall charging and plasma potential of the source due to confinement.
