    Notes: A compact ECR ion/plasma source is numerically modeled using a Monte Carlo particle method coupled with a solution of the Maxwell equations. The source modeled is a small, coaxial cavity source that utilizes rare earth permanent magnets to create electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) zones in the cavity. The model includes the calculation of the static magnetic field produced by the permanent magnets, the microwave fields at 2.45 GHz, the electron spatial and energy distributions, and the ion spatial and energy distributions. The numerical model is a 2d3v model that assumes an axial symmetry. The electric fields and time-varying magnetic fields are solved using a time-domain finite-difference solution of the Maxwell equations. The electron and ion behaviors are modeled by using the Monte Carlo particle technique, where each particle moves subject to the Lorentz force equation and to the appropriate elastic and inelastic collision processes. The solution obtained is a self-consistent solution where the Maxwell equations are solved iteratively with the particle technique until a steady state condition is reached. Sample simulation results are presented including a spatial electron heating distribution.

    Notes: An electromagnetic particle-in-cell (PIC) model and a guiding-center particle model are developed and used to model a compact electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma source. The finite-difference time-domain technique is used to model the microwave fields which excite the plasma at 2.45 GHz. The PIC technique is used to model the dynamics of the electrons in the plasma. The electromagnetic fields and the plasma dynamics are solved in a self-consistent manner. The ECR heated electrons are confined to magnetic field lines and subsequently make multiple passes through ECR regions experiencing both increases and decreases in energy. The distribution function of these energy changes is determined from the electromagnetic PIC model and used in a guiding-center particle model. The longer time scale collisional phenomenon in the plasma is modeled using this guiding-center particle model. A compact ECR plasma source used for the generation of ions for materials processing is simulated. This source has a plasma size of 3.6 cm in diameter and 3 cm in height. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The electromagnetic excitation of a discharge inside a microwave plasma source has been numerically modeled in the time domain. The source is a cylindrical, single-mode microwave-excited cavity. The time-varying electromagnetic fields inside the resonant cavity, both inside and outside the discharge region, are obtained by applying a finite-difference time-domain method to solve Maxwell's equations. The electromagnetic properties of the discharge load are described using a conductivity model. The spatial electric field patterns, natural frequencies, stored energy, and quality factor of a plasma-loaded, microwave-resonant cavity are simulated. Additionally, the simulated results for a simplified plasma source structure are compared to a known analytical solution to verify the simulation technique.
