Methods and apparatus are provided for generating an inductively coupled plasma using induced eddy currents. An inductively coupled plasma source of the invention generally comprises a body constructed substantially of a conductive material interrupted by at least one dielectric gap. Radio frequency power is coupled from a current carrier into the conductive body. The one or more dielectric interruptions in the conductive body are disposed so as to cause eddy currents to circulate about portions of the body and thereby couple RF power into a plasma in proximity to the conductive body. By utilizing induced eddy currents to couple power into a plasma, the invention allows for substantial bodies of conductive materials, such as structural metals, to be interposed between the induction coils that receive power from a power generator and the plasma.
