Helicon plasma sources

Helicon plasma sources generate highly controlled, high-density plasma using electromagnetic waves called helicon waves. These waves are launched into a gas-filled chamber, ionizing the gas and creating a plasma—a state of matter with free electrons and ions. Helicon sources are efficient at producing uniform, stable plasmas at relatively low power, making them valuable for applications like material processing, agriculture, and scientific research. Their design allows precise control over plasma properties, enabling tailored processes and advancements in plasma technology.
