    Abstract: A handheld atmospheric pressure glow discharge plasma source is provided without the use of an arc. The plasma is induced using a radio frequency signal. An LC resonator in the handheld source with a gain of about 10 at 13.56 MHZ improves the power transfer from a power supply and tuner to the plasma chamber which is capable of producing stable plasmas in Ar, He and O.sub.2 mixtures.

    Abstract: Thin free standing single crystal films can be produced by sputter depositing a layer of stressable metal onto a single crystal substrate, treating the composite so produced to effect stressing of the metal layer which then peels away with a portion of the single crystal substrate attached to the metal layer. The free standing film thus produced has typical thickness in the order of tens of micrometers. The metal layer can subsequently be removed by acid etching or other suitable etching techniques, to leave the free standing single crystal film, having a thickness from about 5 microns to about 50 or more.

    Abstract: A method for producing stable atmospheric pressure glow discharge plasmas using RF excitation and the use of said plasmas for modifying the surface layer of materials. The plasma generated by this process and its surface modification capability depend on the type of gases used and their chemical reactivity. These plasmas can be used for a variety of applications, including etching of organic material from the surface layer of inorganic substrates, as an environmentally benign alternative to industrial cleaning operations which currently employ solvents and degreasers, as a method of stripping paint from surfaces, for the surface modification of composites prior to adhesive bonding operations, for use as a localized etcher of electronic boards and assemblies and in microelectronic fabrication, and for the sterilization of tools used in medical applications.
