  A complete investigation of the discharge behavior of dielectric barrier
discharge device using ZnO-coated dielectric layer in atmospheric pressure is
made. Highly conductive ZnO film was deposited on the dielectric surface.
Discharge characteristic of the dielectric barrier discharge are examined in
different aspects. Experimental result shows that discharge uniformity is
improved definitely in the case of ZnO-coated dielectric barrier discharge. And
relevant theoretical models and explanation are presented to describing its
discharge physics.
