The plasma oxidation of stainless steel using water vapor plasmas was studied. The plasma oxidation was compared with thermal oxidation. The enhancement effect of oxidation using plasma was almost constant regardless of temperature. Study of the bias potential effect revealed that the oxide thickness drastically increases with positive bias potential. The bias effect on the OH emission intensity has...
