ABSTRACT:
An array of hollow cathodes can be made by mounting a housing connected to a source of plasma precursor gas and to a source of power in a vacuum chamber, said housing having a plurality of uniformly spaced openings in a wall thereof into which a plasma can be generated. A substrate to be treated is mounted parallel to and spaced a preselected distance from said openings. In operation, a plurality of plasma torches is created extending from the openings which can plasma etch and remove coatings on said substrate.
