The main objective of this study is to evaluate the thermal behavior of a plasma micro-discharge in two different gases within a silicon micro hole (close to hundred micrometers in size). The first stage of the simulation based on the Heat Transfer module can return very promising results that are validated by emission spectroscopy (see reference bellow).
