New and improved microwave plasma assisted reactors, for example chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) reactors, are disclosed. The disclosed microwave plasma assisted reactors operate at pressures ranging from about 10 Torr to about 760 Torr. The disclosed microwave plasma assisted reactors include a movable lower sliding short and/or a reduced diameter conductive stage in a coaxial cavity of a plasma chamber. For a particular application, the lower sliding short position and/or the conductive stage diameter can be variably selected such that, relative to conventional reactors, the reactors can be tuned to operate over larger substrate areas, operate at higher pressures, and discharge absorbed power densities with increased diamond synthesis rates (carats per hour) and increased deposition uniformity.

Microwave plasma reactors

A miniature microwave plasma torch apparatus () is described. The microwave plasma torch apparatus () is used for a variety of applications where rapid heating of a small amount of material is needed. The miniature microwave plasma torch apparatus () operates near or at atmospheric pressure for use in materials processing. The apparatus () provides a wide range of flow rates so that discharge properties vary from diffusional flow of radicals for gentle surface processing to high velocity, approaching supersonic, torch discharges for cutting and welding applications. The miniature microwave plasma torch apparatus () also has a very small materials processing spot size.
