Abstract

A two-dimensional, axisymmetric model of a bounded, partially ionized, magnetized glow discharge plasma is presented. The model treats positive ions as particles and electrons as a fluid in a hybrid configuration. The results reported here are directed towards simulating an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR), microwave-sustained plasma. Results include predictions of plasma density and potential, electron temperature and ion flux and energy. Models such as the one presented here have the potential to be used by plasma process engineers and plasma tool designers.
