Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A plasma abatement device comprises a gas chamber having a gas inlet for receiving a gas to be treated by the device and a gas outlet, at least part of the inner surface of the gas chamber being formed from, or coated with, an electrically conductive material that is resistant to corrosion during treatment of a gas containing a halocompound and water vapor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

I claim: 1. A microwave plasma abatement device comprising a microwave resonant cavity having a gas inlet and a gas outlet, and a waveguide for conveying microwave radiation to the resonant cavity, the resonant cavity having an inner surface comprising an electrically conductive material resistant to corrosion induced by chemical reaction between a gas containing a halocompound and water vapour, wherein said electrically conductive material comprises titanium. 2. A device according to claim 1 wherein the inner surface of the cavity comprises a layer of said electrically conductive material formed on the inner surface of a housing defining, at least in part, the cavity. 3. A device according to claim 2 wherein the housing is formed from stainless steel. 4. A device according to claim 1 wherein the cavity is defined at least in part by a housing formed from said electrically conductive material. 5. A device according to claim 1 wherein said electrically conductive material is paramagnetic. 6. A device according to claim 1 wherein said electrically conductive material is diamagnetic. 7. A device according to claim 1 comprising an electrically conducting member protruding into the resonant cavity, the electrically conducting member comprising said electrically conductive material.
