Title:
DISCHARGE PLASMA GENERATION AUXILIARY DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/023945
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A discharge plasma device includes a discharge tube (A). The discharge tube (A) has
a hermetic vessel (1) filled with a discharge gas. The hermetic device (1) contains
a pair of discharge electrodes (2a, 2b), an electron source (3) for supplying electrons
into the discharge gas, and a grid electrode (4) opposing the electron emitting
surface of the electron source (3). The discharge plasma device includes power
source (5) for applying voltage across the discharge electrodes (2a, 2b), discharge
detection means (6) for detecting a discharge state of the discharge tube (A),
and control means (7) for controlling the potential of the electron source (3)
so as to suppress collision of plus ions to the electron source (3) when discharge
start of the discharge tube (A) is detected by the discharge detection means (6).
The grid electrode (4) has an opening for passing electrons emitted from the electron
source (3). The electron source (3) and the grid electrode (4) constitute a discharge
plasma generation auxiliary device.
