PLASMA TREATMENT OF SUBSTRATES

A process for plasma treating a substrate comprises applying a radio frequency high voltage to at least one electrode positioned within a dielectric housing having an inlet and an outlet while causing a process gas to flow from the inlet past the electrode to the outlet, thereby generating a non-equ...

Zusammenfassung:A process for plasma treating a substrate comprises applying a radio frequency high voltage to at least one electrode positioned within a dielectric housing having an inlet and an outlet while causing a process gas to flow from the inlet past the electrode to the outlet, thereby generating a non-equilibrium atmospheric pressure plasma. An atomized or gaseous surface treatment agent is incorporated in the non-equilibrium atmospheric pressure plasma. The substrate is positioned adjacent to the plasma outlet so that the surface is in contact with the plasma and is moved relative to the plasma outlet. The flow of process gas and the gap between the plasma outlet and the substrate are controlled so that the process gas has a turbulent flow regime within the dielectric housing.
