  • Device and method for generating a plasma discharge for patterning the surface of a substrate
    Patent number: 9161427
    Abstract: Device for generating a plasma discharge near a substrate for patterning the surface of the substrate, comprising a first electrode having a first discharge portion and a second electrode having a second discharge portion, a high voltage source for generating a high voltage difference between the first and the second electrode, and positioning means for positioning the first electrode with respect to the substrate. The device is further provided with an intermediate structure that is, in use, arranged in between the first electrode and the substrate while allowing for positioning the first electrode with respect to the substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 17, 2010
    Date of Patent: October 13, 2015
    Assignee: Vision Dynamics Holding B.V.
    Inventors: Paulus Petrus Maria Blom, Alquin Alphons Elisabeth Stevens, Laurentia Johanna Huijbregts, Hugo Anton Marie De Haan, Antonius Hubertus Van Schijndel, Edwin Te Sligte, Nicolaas Cornelis Josephus Van Hijningen, Tom Huiskamp
  • Device for generating a plasma discharge for patterning the surface of a substrate
    Patent number: 8702902
    Abstract: Device for generating a plasma discharge for patterning the surface of a substrate, comprising a first electrode having a first discharge portion and a second electrode having a second discharge portion, a high voltage source for generating a high voltage difference between the first and the second electrode, and positioning means for positioning the first electrode with respect to the substrate, wherein the positioning means are arranged for selectively positioning the first electrode with respect to the second electrode in a first position in which a distance between the first discharge portion and the second discharge portion is sufficiently small to support the plasma discharge at the high voltage difference, and in a second position in which the distance between the first discharge portion and the second discharge portion is sufficiently large to prevent plasma discharge at the high voltage difference.
