Abrégé

This invention relates to a plasma surface modification process (and a corresponding a system) of a solid object (100) comprising creating plasma (104) by a plasma source (106), application of the plasma (104) to at least a part of a surface (314) of the solid object (100), generating ultrasonic high intensity and high power acoustic waves (102) by at least one ultrasonic high intensity and high power acoustic wave generator (101 ), wherein the ultrasonic acoustic waves are directed to propagate towards said surface (314) of the object (100) so that a laminar boundary layer (313) of a gas or a mixture of gases (500) flow in contact with said solid object (100) is thinned or destructed for at least a part of said surface (314). In this way, the plasma can more efficiently access and influence the surface of the solid object to be treated by the plasma, which speeds the process time up significantly.

• H05H 1/46 - Production du plasma utilisant des champs électromagnétiques appliqués, p. ex. de l'énergie à haute fréquence ou sous forme de micro-ondes

Abrégé

The invention relates to a method for providing a density profile of a plate-shaped body by means of an X-ray radiation source (1), the radiation of which is directed towards the plate-shaped body (5) and scattered therefrom, the radiation scattered by the plate material from a specific depth of the plate-shaped body being taken as a measurement of the density at the respective depth. The method is characterised in that the radiation scattered by the plate material at different depths is observed through a narrow slot (6), which is placed substantially perpendicular to the radiation direction, utilizing that there is an unambiguous relation between the scattering angle and depth, said scattered radiation being registered by means of an array of closely abutting detector elements for determining the density profile. An advantage of this method is that it is fast and does not require movable parts. Another advantage is that the complete depth profile is measured at the same time, particularly that the top side and the bottom side of the plate-shaped material are identified at the same time, whereby measuring series may be corrected correctly irrespective of the movements of the plate between sub measurements.
