Investigation of an electron-beam sustained discharge in helium

Abstract

dc:description

Results of an experimental and theoretical investigation into an Electron-Beam Sustained Discharge (EBSD) confined within an electrically insulating cylindrical discharge tube are presented. The study is directed toward discharges in helium where radial ambipolar diffusion is the dominant plasma loss mechanism. This investigation is made in support of a continuing, technology-driven program to apply the unique attributes of the EBSD to plasma processing applications in the growth and etching of thin films.
