Customer Reviews

Great fundamental reference

While the specifics of various systems is dated, this is a great reference for the basics of plasma processing. Even though the equipment I use today is significantly more advanced I continually refer to this work for baseline information. The explanations are clear and well written. A rare example of a reference / textbook one can actually read.

Good introductory book, too expensive

This is the ideal book for beginning students attempting to navigate the maze of plasma physics for the first time. The book concentrates on developing an intuitive feel for ionized gases while including enough real physics to back up the intuition with numbers. It's unfortunate that the publisher has priced this work out of the range of the average student for whom it would be so useful.
