Abstract

A microwave plasma reactor including a chamber for containing a gas to be energized into a plasma with microwave energy, an electrode having two surfaces in the chamber for radiating microwave energy from one of the surfaces into the chamber to form the plasma proximate the radiating surface, and a waveguide or coaxial conductor for introducing microwave energy onto the other of the two electrode surfaces for providing the energy to form the plasma.
