Abstract

A plasma generation device, a system including a plasma generation device, and a method of generating plasma and vacuum UV (VUV) photons are described. In a representative embodiment, plasma generation device, includes: a substrate having a first surface and a second surface; a resonant ring-shaped structure disposed over the first surface of the substrate, the resonant ring-shaped structure having dimensions selected to support at least one standing wave having more than one electric field maximum along a length of the resonant ring-shaped structure; a ground plane disposed on the second surface of the substrate; and an apparatus configured to provide a gas at locations of the electric field maxima.
