Abstract: A discharge device of the invention includes multiple bonded ceramic layers with electrodes formed between the layers. It can be combined with the various MCIC technologies to produce myriad useful devices. Contacts are made to the electrodes, which may be grouped in different arrangements. The electrodes contact a hole through some or all of the ceramic layers to define a discharge cavity. Different groupings of the electrodes will produce different types of discharge. Alternating the electrodes in interdigitated pairs permits an arbitrary extension of the discharge cavity length. Having consecutive anodes or cathodes permits formation of regions where electrons may cool. Another device of the invention includes a multilayer ceramic structure having a hole formed in a least one outer layer through an electrode on the outer side of the layer and in contact with an electrode between two layers. A contact is formed to the electrode between layers through any remaining layers in the multilayer ceramic structure.

Abstract translation: 本发明的放电装置包括在层之间形成电极的多个键合陶瓷层。 它可以与各种MCIC技术相结合，产生无数有用的设备。 触点被制成电极，其可以以不同的布置分组。 电极通过一些或所有陶瓷层接触孔以限定放电腔。 电极的不同组合将产生不同类型的放电。 交错对置的电极允许放电腔长度的任意延长。 具有连续的阳极或阴极允许形成电子可以冷却的区域。 本发明的另一个装置包括多层陶瓷结构，其具有通过在该层的外侧上的电极和与两层之间的电极接触的在至少一个外层中形成的孔。 通过多层陶瓷结构中的任何剩余的层，在层之间的电极上形成接触。
