A Thorough Update of the Industry Classic on Principles of Plasma Processing The first edition of Principles of Plasma Discharges and Materials Processing, published over a decade ago, was lauded for its complete treatment of both basic plasma physics and industrial plasma processing, quickly becoming the primary reference for students and professionals. The Second Edition has been carefully updated and revised to reflect recent developments in the field and to further clarify the presentation of basic principles. Along with in-depth coverage of the fundamentals of plasma physics and chemistry, the authors apply basic theory to plasma discharges, including calculations of plasma parameters and the scaling of plasma parameters with control parameters. New and expanded topics include: * Updated cross sections * Diffusion and diffusion solutions * Generalized Bohm criteria * Expanded treatment of dc sheaths * Langmuir probes in time-varying fields * Electronegative discharges * Pulsed power discharges * Dual frequency discharges * High-density rf sheaths and ion energy distributions * Hysteresis and instabilities * Helicon discharges * Hollow cathode discharges * Ionized physical vapor deposition * Differential substrate charging With new chapters on dusty plasmas and the kinetic theory of discharges, graduate students and researchers in the field of plasma processing should find this new edition more valuable than ever.

A new edition of this industry classic on the principles of plasma processing Plasma-based technology and materials processes have been central to the revolution of the last half-century in micro- and nano-electronics. From anisotropic plasma etching on microprocessors, memory, and analog chips, to plasma deposition for creating solar panels and flat-panel displays, plasma-based materials processes have reached huge areas of technology. As key technologies scale down in size from the nano- to the atomic level, further developments in plasma materials processing will only become more essential. Principles of Plasma Discharges and Materials Processing is the foundational introduction to the subject. It offers detailed information and procedures for designing plasma-based equipment and analyzing plasma-based processes, with an emphasis on the abiding fundamentals. Now fully updated to reflect the latest research and data, it promises to continue as an indispensable resource for graduate students and industry professionals in a myriad of technological fields. Readers of the third edition of Principles of Plasma Discharges and Materials Processing will also find: Extensive figures and tables to facilitate understandingA new chapter covering the recent development of processes involving high-pressure capacitive dischargesNew subsections on discharge and processing chemistry, physics, and diagnosticsPrinciples of Plasma Discharges and Materials Processing is ideal for professionals and process engineers in the field of plasma-assisted materials processing with experience in the field of science or engineering. It is the premiere world-wide basic text for graduate courses in the field.
