The energy flux onto an RF magnetron electrode surface was measured by a nonperturbative calorimetric method in Ar, CF<sub>4</sub>, C<sub>2</sub>F<sub>6</sub>, CHF<sub>3</sub> and C<sub>3</sub>F<sub>8</sub> discharges. It was found that about 40% to 80% of the input RF power was dissipated on the magnetron electrode surface. The energy flux is 15% to 50% higher in argon than that in the fluorocarbons. When the sheath voltage is greater than 100 V, energy flux is mainly contribute by ion kinetic energy, and Q varies as n<sub>i</sub> mod V<sub>DC</sub> mod varies as (RF power)<sup>1.2</sup>, where n<sub>i</sub> is the ion density and V<sub>DC</sub> is the DC potential of the capacitively coupled magnetron electrode. For the sheath voltage less than 100 V, radiation, electron-ion wall recombination, and neutral relaxation processes have to be considered. It is also found that the anomalous diffusion, presumably due to drift-type turbulence, affects the cross-field energy flux to the electrode surface.
