Abstrakt: Metastable chlorine ions (Cl+*) were detected in time-modulated inductively coupled plasma by a time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence technique. By varying the rf power, gas pressure and modulation frequency, the Cl+*density was measured in detail. In the discharge-on period, the Cl+*density increased as the rf power increased. In the discharge-off period, the rf power decreased within 1 µs, however, the Cl+*density decreased more slowly and persisted for a while. The decay constant was evaluated to be around 10 µs by fitting the decay curve under our experimental conditions. In addition, the diffusion coefficient of Cl+*was also estimated.
