Abstract.
Microplasma arrays operating in helium in a DC regime have been produced in
silicon microreactors. Cathode boundary layer (CBL) type microdevices were
elaborated using clean room facilities and semiconductor processing
techniques. Ignition of the micro-discharge arrays having either 50 or 100 $mu $m diameter cavities was studied. Two different structures
(isotropically etched or anisotropically etched cavity) and various
conditions (the two different voltage polarities, pressures etc.) were
investigated. 100 microdischarges of 50 μm diameter could be ignited in
parallel at 1000 torr. At high current, some parasitic and transient sparks
appeared at the edge of the sample. When the polarization was reversed
(cathode side corresponding the opened electrode), more current was needed
to light all the microdischarges. A thermally affected zone around the hole
on the anode side was obtained after operation.
