Based on numerical calculations a new method has been developed, which enables plasma analysis from the average value of the Langmuir probe current measured in pulsed discharge. The application of this method for characterization of a planar reactor used for plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition of TiN and (TiAl)N hard coatings is described as an example.
