    Abstract: A plasma micro-thruster, including: an elongate and substantially non-conductive tube having a first end to receive a supply of propellant gas, and an open second end to act as an exhaust; first, second, and third electrodes extending circumferentially around the tube and being mutually spaced along a longitudinal axis of the tube, the third electrode being longitudinally interposed between the first and second electrodes; wherein the tube and the first, second and third electrodes are configured to generate a plasma from propellant gas flowing though the tube from the first end of the tube when the third electrode receives radio frequency power and the first and second electrodes are electrically grounded relative to the third electrode, such that the expansion of the plasma from the open end of the tube generates a corresponding thrust.

    Abstract: A neutrally charged plasma beam generator (1) includes a containment vessel (2) that has a first end (4), a second end (6), and defines a plasma source volume. The second end (6) is open for expulsion of plasma. A gas inlet (8) is adjacent the first end (4) for the supply of plasma producing gas, and a plasma generator (10) generates a high density neutral plasma in the source volume. A magnetic field generator (15, 16) generates an axial magnetic field directed from the source volume and expanding gradually through the second end (6). An electric double layer is established between the source volume and the second end (6).

    Abstract: Conventional plasma etching equipment has an anode (13) and a cathode (14) mounted in spaced-apart relationship in a plasma chamber (10). The anode is usually earthed and the cathode is capacitively connected to an rf signal source (16). The application of an rf voltage enables a plasma of the low pressure gas within the chamber to be established. The improvement of this invention is the inclusion, between the anode and the cathode, of an electrically conducting body (17) which is connected to the cathode but does not obscure the line of sight between the centre of the anode and the centre of the cathode. The presence of this conducting body - which may be an annular plate - reduces the self-bias voltage of the cathode while simultaneously permitting the minimum amplitude of the rf signal to be reduced and increasing the plasma density.
