Research Abstract |
Generation method of very small size plasma beam was developed through controlling the electrical discharge in the range from glow region to arc region with use of the new type nozzle made from BN ceramics and the fast high voltage power source. The power density of newly developed plasma beam reaches higher than 10^9 W/ m^2 and sub-millimeter sized melt spot can be obtained at the surface of stainless steel anode. In order to obtain much smaller diameter of BN nozzle, characterizations of plasma etching properties of BN and nonlinear optical lithography were performed. The etching rate was approximately 2. 5 ilm/ h when BN was exposed to NLD Ar plasma.
