By employing an electron cyclotron resonance CF_4 plasma as a light source in the VUV wavelength range, an absorption spectroscopy system with no vacuum windows was constructed. As a result, the density of F atoms was approximately 1*10^13 cm^-3 for an rf power of 1 kW and a CF_4 gas pressure of 2.5 mTorr, which was one-order higher than the density of CF_x radicals and was one-order lower than the density of the parent gas.}, pages = {1375--1377}, title = {Vacuum ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy for absolute density measurements of fluorine atoms in fluorocarbon plasmas}, volume = {70}, year = {1997} }
