Background
The plasma is composed of electrons, ions, radicals, photons, and other neutral particles. Wherein electrons, ions and radicals are active particles, which react very easily with the surface of other solid substances, and plasma treatment is performed by utilizing this characteristic. Plasma is considered as a fourth form of matter present in addition to solid, liquid, and gas. The excitation of the plasma state needs to meet certain conditions, such as a certain low pressure (vacuum), a certain electric field or temperature, etc. The plasma can be classified into high temperature plasma and low temperature plasma according to temperature classification. The temperature of the high-temperature plasma can be from one hundred degrees to ten thousand degrees, the temperature of the plasma jet is high, and the surface temperature is higher after the plasma jet collides with a solid phase, so that the plasma is only suitable for treating heat-resistant materials such as ceramics, metals and the like. The temperature of the low-temperature plasma can be controlled to be close to normal temperature, and the low-temperature plasma is suitable for treating thermolabile materials such as plastics, silica gel, chips and the like.
The microwave is one of the methods for generating the plasma, and compared with other traditional plasmas, the microwave plasma has the advantages of low substrate temperature, stable and easy control of a microwave generator, high efficiency of microwave discharge, high safety factor, quiet plasma and the like, and a plasma generation chamber and a treatment chamber can be separated and combined, so that the process is flexible. The atmospheric pressure microwave plasma jet has the advantages of moderate gas temperature, stable system, lower cost and the like. The method is widely applied to various fields such as material surface cleaning and etching, sewage treatment, polymer material surface modification, wound disinfection, cancer cell treatment and the like. Wherein the active radicals and energetic particles of the plasma jet can significantly affect the effectiveness of the application. At present, there is little progress in the research of microwave plasma technology in China, but there is little distance from commercialization.

Wherein the columnar portion 201 of the inner conductor 200 is directly connected to a microwave source, ensuring efficient transmission of energy. The connection of the pillar portion 201 to the arrow portion 202 ensures that energy is transferred from the pillar portion 201 to the arrow portion 202, the arrangement of the arrow portion 202 facilitating focusing of the electric field.
