Abstract

We present a one-dimensional model for a transformer-coupled plasma (TCP) discharge, which includes both the collisional and the collisionless heating mechanisms. We investigate the one-dimensional heating and the transport properties of a TCP discharge in a self-consistent manner. It is found that a critical behavior in power coupling appears as the reactor length is changed. Thus, it is concluded that the reactor length should be larger than a critical length to obtain a sufficient power.
