A series of microcavity plasma devices having various electrode geometries were investigated for the display and lighting applications. Addressable, self-assembled Al/$Al_2O_3$ electrodes were fabricated in a thin, flexible single sheet of Al foil. And, enhanced luminance and efficient microplasmas are achieved by precise control of the cross-sectional geometry and surface morphology of the cavities within the microplasma devices. New microdischarge system fabricated in various substrates will be introduced.

Microplasma modes generated in a display cell with an auxiliary electrode were investigated in accordance with various coplanar-gaps and plategaps. At plate-gaps shorter than the coplanar-gap, the mode transition voltage of the auxiliary pulse increased with an increase in the coplanar-gap. At longer plate-gaps, the mode transition voltage of the auxiliary pulse decreased with an increase in the coplanar-gap.

Atmospheric-pressure plasmas are used in a variety of materials processes. The lifetime of most atmospheric-pressure plasma sources is limits by electrode erosion due to energetic ion bombardment. These drawbacks were solved recently by several microplasma sources based on microstrip structure, which are more efficient and less prone to perturbations than other microplasma sources. In this work, we propose microplasma sources based on strip line and microstrip line, developed for the generation of microplasmas even in atmospheric air and analyzes these systems with microwave field simulation via comparative study with two previous microwave sources (Microstrip Spit Ring Resonator (MSRR), Microstrip Structure Source (MSS)).

Transient phenomena in the p-n junction due to the selfheating effect of microplasma current have been investigated for the cases of small current and of large current. For the small current case, the temperature rise of the microplasma site is proportional to the current decrease and a unique time constant could be defined. However, the situation was complicated for the case of large current, and the time constant was not uniquely defined.

The concept of a microplasma current switch for a device operated in a current mode like organic light-emitting diodes, which features matrix addressability and current switching, is presented as well as its architecture and operational principle. To verify the concept, we have fabricated a 100 mm ${\times}$ 100 mm microplasma current switch panel with a cell pitch of $1080{\mu}m{\times}1080{\mu}m$. Moreover, the current-voltage measurements of the unit cell are performed for three different driving voltage amplitudes. They show the characteristic of an asymmetric floating double probe diagnosing plasmas.

In this work we measured electron temperature and electron density of a microplasma by optical emission spectroscopy. The plasma is generated from a small discharge gap of a microwave parallel stripline resonator (MPSR) in Helium at atmospheric pressure. The microwave power supplied for this plasma source from 0.5 to 5 watts at a frequency close to 800 MHz. The electron temperature and electron density were estimated through Collisional-radiative model combined with Corona-equilibrium model. The results show that the electron density and temperature of this plasma in the case small discharge gap width are higher than that in larger gap width. The diagnostic techniques and associated challenges will be presented and discussed.

This paper presents an atmospheric microplasma-jet device for bio~medical application. The microplasma-jet device consists of four components; a thin Ni anode, porous alumina insulator, a stainless steel cathode and an aluminum case. The anode has 8 holes, and hole diameter and depth are $200 {\mu}m$ and $60 {\mu}m$, respectively. The discharge test was performed in atmospheric pressure using nitrogen gas and AC voltage at the optimum gas flow rate of 4 Vmin. The plasma-jet is ejected stably for the input voltage ranging from 5.5 to $9.5 kV_{p-p}$. The plasma becomes dense as the input voltage increases, which was verified by the hydrophilicity change of PMMA surface treated by the plasma. The temperature increasement of the aluminum film exposed to plasma-jet illustrates that the micro plasma-jet device is feasible for bio-medical application.

This paper presents a new class of magnetic microsensors based on the Hall effect in AC microplasma. In the theoretical study, we develop a simple model of the plasma Hall sensor and express the plasma Hall voltage as a function of magnetic field, plasma discharge field, pressure, and electrode geometry. On this basis, we have designed and fabricated magnetic microsensors using AC neon plasma. In the experiment, we have measured the Hall voltage output of the plasma microsensors for varying five different conditions, including the frequency and the magnitude of magnetic field, the frequency and the magnitude of plasma discharge voltage, and the neon pressure. The fabricated magnetic microsensors show a magnetic field sensitivity of 8.87${\pm}$0.18㎷/G with 4.48% nonlinearity.

마이크로플라즈마 스프레이(Microplasma spray, MPS)를 이용하여 hydroxyapatite(HA) 코팅을 수행하여, HA코팅 층에 대한 밀착력을 측정하였다. 밀착력의 측정은 ASTM C633에 의거하였으며, 실험의 설계는 다꾸치법 (L18($2^{1}3^{7}$))을 이용하였다. 본 실험에서 HA코팅 층과 모재에 대한 밀착력 측정에서 35.8MPa의 밀착력을 얻었으며, SEM을 이용하여, 표면 형상과 밀착력 실험 후의 파단면을 관찰하였다. 또한, 나노 인덴테이션을 사용하여, 탄성계수와 미소경도를 측정하였다.
