            Abstract : 
Summary form only given. We have fabricated several types of microdischarge devices and arrays, and from those, unique plasma operation conditions were observed. In particular, as cavity dimensions are decreased from several hundreds to tens of microns, glow discharges are produced at gas pressures up to and beyond one atmosphere. Also, specific power loadings of the plasma can exceed 100 kW-cm-, on a continuous basis.
