Further, cathode fall is minimized and settled during glow discharge and this prevents transition to arc.
- Avalanche like propagation of electrons in nano channel increases the electron density significantly and the sharp edge of the nano structures generates very high electric fields.
- inclusion of conductor, semiconductor and secondary electron emitter inside of pores or pore peripherals enhance the above effects and lowering the breakdown voltage and increasing the plasma efficiency. Further, low work function materials enhance the electron emission efficiency.

- FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a basic structure of the electrode with regular shape nanoporous dielectrics, according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
- nanoporous dielectric 20 (hereinafter, it is referred to simply as 'dielectric') is formed on the conducting electrode 10.
- the dielectric 20 is composed of the porous area with pore 26 (hereinafter, it is referred to simply as 'pore') and barrier layer 22 without pore having a designated thickness (t2). Meanwhile, nano peripheral pores 24 indicate a peripheral portion of pores.
- the cross sectional shape of the pore 26 can be circular or other shape.
- the ratio of the pore diameter (D) to the length (L) as well as the ratio of the pore length (L) to the thickness of dielectric (tl) affect the effects from nanoporous dielectric and plasma characteristics significantly and can be optimized with respect to the specific plasma application.
- the variation ofthe thickness (t2) ofthe barrier layer 22 controls the electron flow from conducting electrode 10 and the capacitance of dielectric 20 and consequently controls the plasma characteristics.
- the shape of the pore also can be modified to vary the electrical property of dielectric 20. For example, whole or certain area ofthe pore mouth can be closed to make a nano chamber.
- a diameter of the pore (D) can be in the range of few nm to few um and the length (L) is in the range of few tens of nm to few hundreds of um.
- a inter pore distance (d) is in the range of few nm and few tens of um.
- a porous anodic alumina is an example of electrode described in FIG 1. Its electrochemical preparation method, forming mechanism and modification of the structure are fairly well known (Yakoleva et al, Inorg. Mat., 34,711, 1998, Jessensky et al. Appl. Phys. Lett., 72, 1773, 1998).
- a nano structure array was formed on a cleaned and electropolished aluminum substrate by anodization in acidic solution or by specifically shaped nano patterning such as photolithography followed by the removal of patterning layer.
- This seeded substrate was further anodized to a desirable thickness of dielectric. Pore diameter, pore density and barrier layer thickness were controlled by the applied voltage and the type of electrolyte. Further pore widening can also be achieved by dissolution of anodic alumina. Since anodic alumina grows on the aluminum conducting electrode, the adhesion between the conducting electrode and the dielectric is very strong and results in a very durable and efficient electrode.
- Nano porous silica is another example which can be prepared by lithography and patterning. (Tonucci et al. Science, 258, 783, 1992)

- the length (h2) of this coating layer 28 can be adjusted in the range of few nm to few tens of um.
- the nanoporous dielectrics can be prepared directly from the dielectric composite of conductors, semiconductors and secondary electron emitting materials. An appropriate amount ofthe above materials can be mixed with dielectric materials in preparation of dielectric layer or their alloy can be used in electrochemical preparation of dielectric layer.

- This dielectric layer can be deposit by various methods of precipitation, electrochemical, plasma jet, sol-gel and electrophoretic deposition etc.

- An example of FIG. 4B structure can be obtained by electro photochemical etching of silicon.
- a silicon oxide for dielectric layer was formed via thermal or electrochemical oxidation and followed by forming a conducting electrode.
- This device is similar to the ballistic electron surface-emitting device (BSD) for field emission display (FED). (Ichihara et al. J. Cryst. Growth, 1915, 2002)
- nano fiber bundle of conductors, semiconductors and insulators such as Ag, Au, carbon nanotube, CdS, MgO, TiO 2 etc. can be used as conducting electrodes or dielectrics.
- plasma efficiency can be improved by secondary electron emission or field emission effect from the nanoporous structure or the nano bundle.
