Abstract
For the first time it is shown that charging damage during RF power turn-off is as severe as steady state charging in both MERIE and ICP system. A newly proposed 2-step power down method dramatically reduced the charging damage during rf power turn-off. Moreover this method has shown highly reproducible results.
