  • Patent number: 8092643
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for cleaning and surface conditioning objects using plasma are disclosed. One embodiment of the method discloses providing a plurality of elongated dielectric barrier members arranged adjacent each other, the elongated dielectric barrier members having electrodes coupled therein, providing a ground plane, introducing the objects proximate the elongated dielectric barrier members and the ground plane, and producing a dielectric barrier discharge to form plasma between the ground plane and the elongated dielectric barrier members for cleaning the objects. One embodiment of the apparatus for cleaning objects using plasma discloses a plurality of elongated dielectric barrier members arranged adjacent each other, a plurality of electrodes, each contained within, and extending substantially along the length of, respective ones of the elongated dielectric barrier members, and a ground plane proximate the plurality of elongated dielectric barrier members.
