N2 - It is shown that the creation of fast electrons by reactions involving metastable atoms may dramatically increase the near-wall potential drop in the afterglow of an rf-driven plasma. This results in a corresponding increase in the energy of ions incident on the walls of the discharge. This effect may be important in applications such as rf plasma processing.
