Popis:	Parameters of a high frequency capacitive discharge in argon in axially symmetric chambers of different geometries are studied in experiments and by means of two-dimensional kinetic modeling by the Particle-in-Cell method. It is demonstrated that a change in the ratio of the areas of the driven and grounded electrodes can substantially increase the ion energy on the electrode practically without disturbing the plasma parameters. Particular attention is paid to studying the self-bias voltage and the ion distribution function on the electrode for gas pressures ranging from 15 to 70 mTorr. The results of self-consistent calculations are in good agreement with experimental data. Comment: 7 pages, 12 figures
