Electron emission from the boundary is ubiquitous in a capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) and precipitates nonnegligible influence on the discharge properties. Here, we present Particle-in-Cell/Monte Carlo Collision simulation of an Ohmic-dominant heating mode of the capacitively coupled plasma, where the stochastic heating vanishes and only Ohmic heating sustains the discharge due to sheath inversion by boundary electron emission. The inverted CCP features negative sheath potential without Bohm presheath, hence excluding plasma heating due to sheath edge oscillation. The particle and energy transport of the proposed heating mode is analyzed. The influence of boundary electron emission flux, source voltage, and neutral pressure on the transition between classic and Ohmic-dominant CCP heating modes is shown with designated simulation scans. A modified inverse sheath–plasma coupling due to excessive ionization is discovered. In the end, key indicators of the proposed heating mode in plasma diagnostics are provided for future experimental verifications.
