The system is powered by a 13.56 MHz, 550 W, 50 $\omega$ RF generator. The RF power is transferred to the plasma via a planar induction coil. The impedance matching unit consists of an air core step-down transformer and a tunable vacuum capacitor. The typical E to H mode transition distinctive to the ICP has been observed in Ar, H? and H?-CH? admixture plasma. Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) of diamond-like carbon (DLC) film on silicon substrate is achieved using the system.
