In this work we present the simulated VBD in DC discharges and combined DC and RF discharges in argon using Particle-in-Cell Monte Carlo Collision (PIC-MCC) method. Electron density which plays a crucial role in the breakdown mechanism is also calculated at different positions between the cylindrical electrodes. The breakdown voltages agree well with experimentally measured and other simulated data for various ranges of gas pressures. ©2010 IEEE. date: 2010 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-77955287094&doi=10.1109%2fICEDSA.2010.5503022&partnerID=40&md5=4d33120387cf7cd63c7303a572a9c672 id_number: 10.1109/ICEDSA.2010.5503022 full_text_status: none publication: 2010 International Conference on Electronic Devices, Systems and Applications, ICEDSA 2010 - Proceedings place_of_pub: Kuala Lumpur pagerange: 436-439 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781424466320 citation: Mahmood, S. and Burhanudin, Z.A. and Hamid, N.H.
