Abstract: The self-consistent modeling of microwave discharges must consider the spatial depen-dences introduced by the inhomogeneous structure of the field distribution. To start tackling the problem, we develop a self-contained formulation to solve the steady-state spatially inhomogeneous electron Boltzmann equation in a plasma positive column. The problem is solved in cylindrical geometry using the classical two-term approzimation, with appropriate boundary conditions for the electron velocity distribution function, especially at the tube wall. The present formulation is self-contained in the sense that the relationship between the applied maintaining field and the gas pressure, termed the discharge characteristic, is obtained as an eige...
