| Abstract | A microwave re-entrant cavity is applied to create a miniature beam of plasma species. A miniature microwave plasma discharge is created using 2.45 GHz microwave energy to generate a discharge inside 1-2 mm inner diameter (i.d.) tubes with a micromachined aperture on the end. Through this aperture the plasma stream for materials processing is formed. The diameter of the plasma stream considered in this study ranges from 2 millimeters down to 10's microns. The I/V characteristics obtained from probe measurements show that the plasma ions pass through the aperture with a aperture hole diameter as small as 14 microns. Additional measurements of the microplasma generated in the discharge tube are performed to determine the electron temperature and gas temperature. Langmuir probe measurements give an electron temperature of approximately 2 eV when the pressure is in the range of 1 - 5 Torr. Optical emission spectroscopy measurements of argon/nitrogen discharge mixtures at 1 Torr in a 2 mm tube with 33 W microwave power give a temperature of 600K - 1200K dependent on the percent argon and nitrogen. The plasma discharge in the tube discharge region is modeled using both a global model and a surface wave discharge model. The flow of the plasma discharge/beam from the source, through the aperture, and down to the substrate surface is also modeled. The modeling results will be compared to experimental results for the size and shape of the region processed by the plasma discharge/beam. A CAD-guided automated path generation system is developed to assist manufacturing micro-structures/patterns automatically using the microplasma applicator. An argon/SF feed gas mixture is used to create a plasma stream with radicals for silicon etching. Also, the etching of Ultra- nanocrystalline Diamond (UNCD) is performed using an argon/oxygen plasma. Data will be reported on the etch results including etch rate and pattern profile for both gas chemistries. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
