Purvi Thanks for your response. How did you solve the plasma flickering problem? With regards, Pramod Gupta 21084 Red Fir Court Cupertino, CA 95014 Phone: (408) 253-1646 Purvi Kikaniwrote: Dear Sir This has something to do with Flourine radicle. Because It happens with my experiment when I do Teflon like deposition using PTFE gas. As soon as I introduce PTFE gas inside reaction chamber, along with Nitrogen it starts flickering. The moment I switch off the PTFE gas flow, stable plasma is observed.
