Abstract
An apparatus and method for cleaning objects using plasma are disclosed. The apparatus provides 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, the plurality of elongated dielectric barrier members, and at least one buss bar for electrically coupling the plurality of electrodes to a voltage source. The method provides providing a plurality of elongated dielectric barrier members arranged adjacent each other, providing a plurality of electrodes each contained within, and extending substantially along the length of the plurality of elongated dielectric barrier members, providing at least one buss bar connected to the plurality of electrodes, electrically coupling the plurality of electrodes to a voltage source through the at least one buss bar, introducing the objects proximate the plurality of elongated dielectric barrier members, generating a dielectric barrier discharge between the plurality of dielectric barrier members and the objects; and forming plasma to clean at least a portion of the objects.
