Abstract

An electronic identity relation, relating capacitively coupled plasma sources to corresponding inductively coupled plasma sources, has been derived, starting from the Maxwell relations for matter and the characteristics of a capacitor and of an inductor. Furthermore, the breakdown conditions for both capacitively coupled plasmas and for inductively coupled plasmas as well as their optimal operation frequency ranges are discussed.
