Plasma processing

Plasma processing is a plasma-based material processing technology that aims at modifying the chemical and physical properties of a surface.[1]

Plasma processing techniques include:

  • Plasma activation
  • Plasma ashing
  • Plasma cleaning
  • Plasma electrolytic oxidation
  • Plasma etching
  • Plasma functionalization
  • Plasma polymerization
  • Corona treatment
  • Plasma modification


Related topics are plasma chemistry, chemical vapor deposition, and physical vapor deposition processes like sputter deposition, plasma iondoping, vacuum plasmaspraying, and reactive ion etching.
