Abstract:
A method of removing material from a substrate (88), and a plasma discharge device wherein a plasma is excited by microwave energy (91, 93, 95, 97) having an electric field which is azimuthally and axially uniform in relation to the plasma tube (40). The microwave cavity is divided longitudinally into sections by conducting partitions (44, 45, 46), each of which is separately fed with microwave energy (91, 93, 95, 97), and the plasma tube (40) extends through openings in the partitions (44, 45, 46).
Abstract:
A plasma asher which obviates microwave leakage and attendant problems by providing a microwave trap (20) proximate the opening through which the plasma tube (8) exits the microwave cavity.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a light source which has no electrodes and is supplied with microwaves, and in which a relatively high energy level is coupled to the bulb. This is achieved in that a plurality of energy oscillation types, which are essentially decoupled from one another, are produced in a microwave cavity.
