  • This new dissociative δ-mode is characterized by a high dissociation degree of gas molecules actually up to 100% in NF3 and up to 70% in SiH4, higher resistivity and a large discharge current.

  • The dissociation products of NF3 and SiH4 molecules possess lower ionization potentials, and they form an easily ionized admixture to the main gas.
