Abstract :
The evolution of microplasmas, based on the increasing demand for miniaturization of instruments and components has generated significant interest in the development of small size plasmas which can be integrated into bio-chips for sensing and detection applications. Microplasmas are cost effective and highly efficient electrical discharges operated at pressures greater than several hundreds of Torr to atmospheric pressure and above.
