Abstract
Roll to roll fabrication methods of the invention enable low cost mass production of microdischarge devices and arrays. A preferred embodiment method of fabricating a discharge device includes providing a dielectric layer sheet, a first electrode, and a second electrode sheet. A cavity is provided through at least a portion of the dielectric layer sheet. At least the dielectric layer sheet and second electrode sheet are rolled together. Another preferred embodiment method of fabrication a discharge device includes method of fabricating a discharge device includes providing a dielectric layer sheet and a cavity through at least a portion of the dielectric layer sheet. A first electrode is disposed as a film of conducting material on the dielectric layer sheet around a rim of the cavity. A second electrode sheet is provided. The dielectric layer sheet is rolled together with first electrode and second electrode sheets.
