Abstract
Low voltage atmospheric plasma generation using DBD Initiation carrier injection is reported. DBD afterglow was used as initiation carriers prior to a primary discharge and a significant reduction in the breakdown voltage of atmospheric discharge was observed when sufficient initiation carriers were provided. Quantative correlation study between the breakdown voltage and the initiation carriers suggests that the atmospheric breakdown voltage reduces to only half of the breakdown voltage for Townsend regime. Also, use of DBD initiation carrier injection likely offers better device reliability by protecting electrodes with a dielectric layer and thus suppressing electrode wear.
