In the LATE device, Spherical Tokamak (ST) plasmas are formed by electron cyclotron heating (ECH) without center solenoid. Two types of experiments are described: (1) slow formation of ST plasmas and (2) spontaneous formation of ST plasmas with rapid-current-rise. A ST formation scenario is discussed including the current-drive mechanism, particle confinement and MHD equilibrium.
