		A plasma is also generated in front of a spacecraft 's heat shield on reentering the atmosphere.
		In astrophysical plasmas, Debye screening prevents electric fields from affecting the plasma very much, but the existence of charged particles causes the plasma to generate and be affected by magnetic field s.
		The dynamics of plasmas interacting with external and self-generated magnetic fields are studied in the academic discipline of magnetohydrodynamics.

		"Plasma Ashing" and "Fluorine" does not really fit together, although the reaction with fluorine is often an oxidation reaction.
		In fact, fluorine itself and fluorine atoms originating from fluorine containing precursors are broadly used for "Plasma Etching" / "Thermal Ething" e.g.
		Furthermore, the use of "Plasma Ashing " is not limited to resist removal in semiconductors.

		In semiconductor manufacturing plasma ashing is theprocess of removing the photoresist from an etched wafer.
		The reactive specie combines with thephotoresist to form ash which is removed with a vacuum pump.
		Originally, plasma was generated in the process chamber, but as the need to get rid of freeradicals has increased, many machines now use a downstream plasma configuration, where plasma is formed remotely and channeled to the wafer.
