Abstract
A Langmuir probe has been used to investigate electron heating mechanisms in a capacitively coupled oxygen discharge over a wide pressure range (50 – 800 mTorr) at a fixed applied power (200 W). Evidence presented here from experimentally obtained electron energy distribution functions (EEDFs) illustrates discharge transition from collisionless (stochastic) to collisional (ohmic) dominant regime with increasing oxygen pressure. The discharge exhibited a bi-Maxwellian EEDF in the collisionless regime, dominated by stochastic heating whereas Druyvesteyn-like EEDFs in the collisional dominant regime. Moreover, in the transition between these two regimes, parameters such as electron density, effective electron temperature and electron-neutral collision frequency exhibited significant variations.
