Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence (LIF) measurements of ion velocity distribution functions have been made in an inductively coupled plasma reactor with a pulsed plasma source. Vertical and radial velocities have been measured at thousands of spatial locations within a plane, and the LIF data has been calibrated to a 96 GHz microwave interferomter. The ion behavior in the presheath region above the wafer is investigated in particular.
