Inductive coil structure and inductively coupled plasma generation system

Abstract

An inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) generation system may include a dielectric tube, a first inductive coil structure to enclose the dielectric tube, an RF power supply, a first main capacitor between a positive output terminal of the RF power supply and one end of the first inductive coil structure, and a second main capacitor between a negative output terminal of the RF power supply and an opposite end of the first inductive coil structure. The first inductive coil structure may include inductive coils connected in series to each other and placed at different layers, the inductive coils having at least one turn at each layer, and auxiliary capacitors, which are respectively provided between adjacent ones of the inductive coils to distribute a voltage applied to the inductive coils.
