Application of a MASWP: Duo_Plasmaline next generation

Summary form only given. Microwave based surface wave plasma reactors like those relying on the Duo-Plasmaline encounters large success in dielectric coating applications. But they show principal limitation to dielectric materials applications. We attempt here to present a Duo-Plasmaline NG based on the metal antenna SWP. This design would circumvent the dielectric coating limitation. The propagation length of the plasma will be reported as a function of gas pressure, microwave power and bias potential for different atmospheres like argon, nitrogen and oxygen. The plasma homogeneity will be reflected in the coating thickness evolution of a PECVD thin film along the antenna.
