Control of Spatial Power Deposition by Wireless Power Transfer Method Applicable to Inductively Coupled Plasma

Abstract

In this paper, numerical calculations of the surface coil current and the spatial electric field in the vicinity of the antenna were investigated using wireless power transfer method. It is observed that the wirelessly transferred power to a resonant coil is dramatically changed with a variation of the excitation frequency. This result indicates that the spatial plasma distribution can be controlled through wireless resonance power transfer. This method could be applied to the large-area plasma source.
