Method and device for atmospheric plasma processing
First Claim
1. A method for plasma treatment under the atmospheric pressure for treating an article to be treated comprising:
- providing a solid dielectric on at least one opposing face of a pair of opposing electrodes under a pressure near the atmospheric pressure;
introducing a treatment gas between said a pair of opposing electrodes;
generating plasma by applying an electric field between said electrodes; and
contacting the plasma with the article to be treated, wherein an used gas is exhausted from the vicinity of treatment section where said plasma and said body to be treated are in contact, and said vicinity of treatment section is maintained under a specified gas atmosphere by a gas atmosphere control mechanism.
