In the considered mode of cleaning, plasma was created and heated by antennas at frequencies fRF₁ ≈ 7.9 and fRF₂ ≈ 8.8 MHz, the magnitude of the constant magnetic field was Bφ(0) ≈ 0.02 T, so that the ion cyclotron frequency was much lower than the heating frequency. The average plasma density was n...
