Patent ID: 7211227

Claim:
A plasma reactor comprising: a first dielectric member; a second dielectric member disposed facing the first dielectric member; at least one gap spacer disposed between the first and second dielectric members so that a plasma region is formed therebetween; first and second electrode members, disposed on the first and second dielectric members, respectively, for generating a corona discharge; and first and second lead line members connected to the first and second electrode members so that the first and second electrode members receive electric voltage from the first and second lead line members, respectively, wherein each gap spacer has a thickness ranging from two to five times the thickness of the first and second dielectric members and wherein first and second junction holes are formed, on opposite sides of the plasma region, in the first dielectric member, the second dielectric member, and the at least one gap spacer, to provide passages for receiving the first and second lead lines respectively.
