Patent number: 11352696Abstract: A plasma source has an outer surface, interrupted by an aperture for delivering an atmospheric plasma from the outer surface. A transport mechanism transports a substrate in parallel with the outer surface, closely to the outer surface, so that gas from the atmospheric plasma may form a gas bearing between the outer surface the and the substrate. A first electrode of the plasma source has a first and second surface extending from an edge of the first electrode that runs along the aperture. The first surface defines the outer surface on a first side of the aperture. The distance between the first and second surface increasing with distance from the edge.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2015Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: NEDERLANDSE ORGANISATIE VOOR TOEGEPAST—NATUURWETENSCHAPPELIJK ONDERZOEK TNOInventors: Yves Lodewijk Maria Creyghton, Paulus Willibrordus George Poodt, Marcel Simor, Freddy Roozeboom
