That and costs, DC high voltage is usually cheaper to do than RF.....

Hi Alfredo,

In general, the both are just different methods to supply energy to
ionize a gas and support the gas discharge - plasma. When you supply DC
(it may be both high voltage and low voltage with external electrons
emitter), electrons accelerate in electrical field to get energy which
is necessary to ionize a gas molecule, when you supply RF, electrons are
accelerated in RF (usually 13.56 MHz) field. There also may be MF
(middle frequency, 40 - 100 kHz) plasma. The each method device design,
pros and cons strongly depend on your application.
