A dual-frequency capacitively coupled rf argon plasma has been investigated using a passively compensated Langmuir probe. The discharge is driven by two different excitation frequencies (13.56 MHz and 27.12 MHz) simultaneously with variable phase angle θ between them, utilizing the electrical asymmetry effect (EAE). With a passively compensated Langmuir probe the floating potential, plasma potential, electron temperature and electron density are measured for different phase angles in two different geometrically asymmetric discharges. Similar to the dc self-bias, the plasma parameters show a pronounced dependence on the phase. However, the measured profiles of the density and temperature as a function of phase in both experimental setups are not symmetric around θ = 90, unlike the dc self-bias. This observation is confirmed by PIC/MCC simulations, which reveal asymmetrical electron excitation/ionization dynamics at the corresponding phases. This implies that the observed trends are a property of the 2f discharge in combination with a geometric asymmetry of the discharge.
