  • Patent number: 11776819
    Abstract: A point etching module using an annular surface-discharge plasma apparatus is disclosed. The point etching module using an annular surface-discharge plasma apparatus comprises: a plate-shaped dielectric; a circular electrode disposed on and in contact with the upper surface of the dielectric; an annular electrode disposed on and in contact with the lower surface of the dielectric and providing a gas receiving space for receiving gas; and a power supplier for applying high voltage between the circular electrode and the annular electrode, wherein when the application of the high voltage starts an electric discharge, filament type plasma is irradiated toward a substrate to be treated, by using plasma flowing in the center direction of the annular electrode from between the inner surface of the annular electrode and the lower surface of the dielectric.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9855354
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for sterilization which may be applied to a medical dry sterilizer, and more particularly, to an apparatus which injects hydrogen peroxide so as to generate plasma and OH radicals which are effective in sterilization, so as to achieve the sterilization of a treated object. According to the present invention, the apparatus for sterilization comprises: a sterilizing reactor in which sterilization is performed on a treated object; a vacuuming unit which is equipped with a vacuum pump connected to the sterilizing reactor and which vacuumizes the interior of the sterilizing reactor; a hydrogen-peroxide supply unit which supplies hydrogen peroxide in a gas state to the interior of the sterilizing reactor; and a microwave-plasma generating unit which generates plasma using microwaves.
