During operation of an RF glow discharge system, it can be observed that the reflected power tends to increase in small value, due to changes in the impedance of the system. This problem can be relieved by adding an automatic impedance matching circuit to the system. This paper presents a detailed method of automatically matching the input impedance of a 50 ohm transmission line to an RF glow discharge system at 13.56 MHZ.

The change in discharge current of a glow discharge has been shown the potential sensitive detector for gas chromatography. To investigate the effect of carrier gas on the electrical characteristics of the discharge and the peak response, the discharge pressure, gas flow rate, and discharge gap have been studied. The discharge gas included the Ar, He, and N$_{2}$. The gas flow rate has been found one of the important parameters to affect both the electrical characteristics and the peak response.

We investigate the effect of rise time of a pulse bias voltage on atmospheric plasma generation. With the faster rise time of the pulse bias, the glow discharge appears to be more uniformly generated along the electrodes. I-V measurement confirms that higher loading power can be obtained using the faster rise time. A new understanding for atmospheric plasma generation at a micro-gap electrode is suggested.

Atmosphere Plasma of Gas Discharge (APGD) has been used in plasma sources for material processing such as etching, deposition, surface modification and so on due to having no thermal damages. The APGD researches on AC source with high frequency have been mainly processed. However, DC APGD studies have been not. In order to understand APGD further, it is necessary to study on fundamental properties of DC APGD. In this paper, we developed a one-dimensional fluid simulation model with capacitively coupled plasma chamber at the atmosphere pressure (760 [Torr]). Nine kinds of Ar discharge particles such as electron (e), positive ions ($Ar^+$, $Ar_2^+$) and neutral particles ($Ar_m^*$, $Ar_r^*$, $Ar_h^*$, $Ar_2^*$(1), $Ar_2^*$(3) and Ar gas) are considered in the computation. The simulation was worked at the current range of 1~15 [mA]. The characteristics of voltage-current were calculated and the structure of Joule heating were discussed. The spatial distributions of Ar DC APGD and the mechanism of power consumption were also investigated.

In order to surface Hydrophobilization of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fiber samples were treated in the atmosphere of CF$_{4}$ or $C_{2}$F$_{6}$glow discharge. The sample used in this study was PET film which is 75$\mu$m thick made by Teijin, O-Type(Japan). The cleaned samples were placed in plasma reactor made of pyrex glass cylinder, and plasma processing was carried out by glow discharge of CF$_{4}$ or $C_{2}$F$_{6}$ gas, being continuously fed by gas flow and continuously pumped out by a vacuum system. Electric power source for generate plasma state was sustained alternating current(60Hz) and voltage was sustained 600 volt. The duration of plasma treatment varied from 15 to 120 seconds except special case, the monomer gase pressure varied from 0.02 to 0.3 Torr and power range was 10 to 90 watts. The hydrophobic features of changed PET surface were evaluated by contact angle measurement and surface chemical characteristics were analyzed by ESCA. Results can be summerized as follows. 1. The most favorable setting position of substrate was the center area between the two electrodes. 2. $C_{2}$F$_{6}$ discharge current was lower than that of CF$_{4}$ when same voltage was sustained. Treated efficiency between CF$_{4}$ and $C_{2}$F$_{6}$ did not revealed significant differences under same electric power(wattage). 3. When monomer pressure is very low below 0.02 torr, as though substrate is exposed to CF$_{4}$ or $C_{2}$F$_{6}$ plasma, it tend to be hydrophilic through a little of fluorine bond and a great deal of oxidizing reaction. 4. There brought good hydrophobilization when monomer pressure was more 0.1 torr and duration of glow discharge treatment was over 45 seconds. When monomer pressure was too high, discharge current became low. Although prolong the duration, there was no more high hydrophobilization. 5. According to ESCA analysis, there were a little CF bond and a prevailing CF$_{2}$ bond in CF$_{4}$-treated substrate. There were CF$_{3}$, a little CF and a prevailing CF$_{2}$ bond in $C_{2}$F$_{6}$-treated substrate.d substrate.

Generally, plasma nitriding process has composed with a nitriding layer within glow discharge region occurred by energy exchange. The dissociations of nitrogen molecules are very difficult to make neutral atoms or ionic nitrogen species via glow discharge area. However, the captured electrons in which a double-folded screen with same potential cathode can stimulate and come out some single atoms or activated ionic species. It was showed an important thing that is called "hat is a dominant component in this nitriding process?" in plasma nitriding process and it can take an effective species for without compound layer. During a plasma nitriding process, it was able to estimate with analyzing and identification by optical emission spectroscopy (OES) study. And then we can make comparative studies on the nitrogen transfer with plasma nitriding and ATONA process using plasma diagnosis and metallurgical observation. From these observations, we can understand role of active species of nitrogen, like N, $N^+$, ${N_2}^+$, ${N_2}^*$ and $NH_x$-radical, in bulk plasma of each process. And the same time, during DC plasma nitriding and other processes, the species of FeN atom or any ionic nitride species were not detected by OES analyzing.

회토류와 악티늄족 원소의 현장분석을 목적으로 휴대용 극미량 분석용 원자 분광계인 Electrothermal-Hollow Cathode Glow Discharge Spectrometry(Et-HCGDS)가 제작되었다.본 분광계의 기본 구조는 전기열과 글로우 방전에 기초를 두고 있으며 본 분광계가 미량의 원소분석에도 유용함을 실험적으로 살펴보았다. 본 연구는 새로이 제작된 Et-HCGDS라는 글로우방전 시스템을 사용하여 공기의 저온 플라스마를 만들고 여기서 얻은 공기의 방출 스펙스럼에 관하여 연구하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 Et-HCGDS를 사용할시에 공기가 흐름가스로 유용하며 이 경우 대기의 분석도 쉽게 이루어질 수 있음을 알았다. 글로우 방전을 이용하여 관찰한 공기의 방출 스펙트럼의 분석을 통하여 볼 때 거의 질소에 의한 방출이 전 자외선과 가시광선 영역에서 골고루 나타남을 살펴보았다. 공기를 흐름가스로 사용할 시에도 여러파장 영역에서 미량 분석이 가능함을 알았다. 이 결과는 앞으로 Et-HCGDS를 사용하여 현장에서 공기만을 사용하여 분석을 수행할 경우에 필요한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있으리라 본다. 본 연구에서 수행한 공기 방출 스펙트럼의 분석은 대기 분석 및 물질 분석에도 중요한 기초자료로 쓰이게 되리라 기대하며 이와 더불어 방출을 이용한 분광분석에서 공기로 인한 간섭 스펙트럼등을 이해하는 경우에도 중요한 참고자료로 활용되리라 본다.

Glow Discharge를 이용한 고체 시료의 극미량 원소분석은 흡광, 방출, 형광 그리고 질량 분석 방법들이 특히 금속 시료들의 분석을 위해 많이 연구되어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 자체 제작한 Gas-Jet-assisted Glow Discharge(GJGD)를 이용하여 각 실험변수에 따른 영향을 비교하여 보았다. 제작한 글로우 방전의 특성화 실험에 사용한 실험 변수로는 전류, 방전 가스의 흐름 속도, 압력 등이었고 시료는 황동을 사용하였다. 시료의 주원소인 구리(Cu)와 아연(Zn)의 방출선세기와 방전가스인 아르곤(Ar)의 상대적인 세기를 비교하여 보았는데, 대체적으로 전류의 증가는 튕겨나옴(Sputtering) 현상을 촉진시켜 방출선의 세기가 증가하였고 가스 흐름 속도는 플라즈마 속으로의 수송과 확산에 관여하여 증가될수록 방출선의 세기를 감소시켰다. 글로우 방전 내의 압력의 증가는 튕겨나옴 현상을 감소시킴과 더불어 시료 표면으로의 재부착을 증가시켜 방출선의 세기가 급격히 감소함을 보여 주었다.

고체 시료를 직접 분석하기 위하여 글로우 방전 원자 방출법을 이용한 새로운 장치를 개발하였다. 이 시스템은 기존의 gas-jet boosted nozzle을 개선한 새로운 방전 셀과 Radio-frequency 전원장치를 사용하였다. 기존의 gas-jet boosted nozzle의 경우 재침전이 적고, 시료 손실량이 많아서 낮은 방전 전력에서 저 합금강의 미량 분석에 적합하였다. 하지만 높은 방전 전력을 사용할 경우 시료 손실량이 많아지고, 재석출(redeposition)이 증가함으로 해서 플라스마가 불안정해지는 단점을 지니고 있었다. 기존의 글로우 방전 셀의 경우 방전 전력을 높일 수록 플라스마의 들뜸 온도가 증가하는 경향을 가진다. 이 때문에 높은 방전 전력에서는 플라스마의 온도가 높아져서 극미량 분석이 가능할 수 있지만, 기존의 노즐 부분에 문제점으로 인해 높은 방전 전력으로 분석하기에는 부적합하였다. 이러한 문제점을 modified gas-jet boosted nozzle은 시료 손실량이 같은 방전 전력에서 기존의 가스 제트 흐름노즐에 비하여 감소하지만 높은 방전 전력에서는 플라스마 안정도가 증가하여 극미량 분석이 가능하도록 개선하였다. 본 시스템은 여러 가지 방전에 미치는 실험 변수인 압력과 가스 흐름량 그리고 방전 전력의 변화에 따른 시료 손실 속도와 방출 세기 등의 변화를 측정하여 최적화 하였으며, 표준 시료 Fe합금을 이용하여서 미량 분석을 하였다.

Perfluorocompounds ($PFC_s$), such as tetrafluoromethane ($CF_4$) and hexafluoroethane ($C_2F_6$), have been widely used as plasma etching and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) gases for semiconductor manufacturing processes. Since these $PFC_s$ are known to cause a greenhouse effect intensively, there has been a growing interest in reducing $PFC_s$ emissions. Among various $CF_4$ decomposing techniques, a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) is considered as one of a promising candidate because it has been successfully used for generating ozone ($O_3$) and decomposing nitrogen oxide (NO). Firstly, optimal concentration of oxygen for $CF_4$ decomposition was found to figure out how many primary and secondary reactions are associated with DBD process. Secondary, to find effective discharge method for $CF_4$ decomposition, a streamer and a glow mode in DBD are experimentally compared, which includes (i) coaxialcylinder DBD, (ii) DBD reactor packed with glass beads. and (iii) a glow mode operation with a helium gas. The test results showed that optimal concentration of oxygen was ranged 500 ppm~1% for treating 500 ppm of $CF_4$ and helium glow discharge was the most efficient one to decompose $CF_4$.
