(color online) Calculated gas mixture density profiles with wide (a) and fine (b) resolution legends, at the discharge condition of 20 mTorr, 200 W, and 2000 sccm. In Fig. 11(b), a special way of demonstrating this fine data structure around the chamber periphery is used, i.e., a small range of data, 8.32 × 10−5 ∼ 8.4 × 10−5, is used to define the color bar while a wide range of actual data, 4.3 × 10−5 ∼ 8.4 × 10−5, is represented by this color bar.
