The following article appeared in AIP Conference Proceedings and may be found at http://link.aip.org/link/?APCPCS/1041/285/1; International audience; Successive generations of dust particles in an Ar/SiH4 plasma, are shown to take place in the void region. We evidence that this cyclic phenomenon is also related to self-excited low frequency oscillations. These different results are obtained by correlating several diagnostics. We studied dust particle successive generations and the related dust cloud dynamics in silane based plasmas. Indeed, the growth of silicon nanoparticles is known to follow a well-defined cycle. Thanks to the correlation of various diagnostics (electrical, optical, ex-situ SEM), we evidenced a void region in the plasma and its specific structure. We especially showed that dust new generations grow inside this void region close to the plasma center. Moreover, an instability phenomenon linked to this cyclic growth in the void has been brought to the fore.
