The interaction of nonthermal plasma with dielectric boundaries leads to a deposition of surface charges, which determine the discharge development and dynamics as well as the effects of plasma surface treatment. The amount and behavior of surface charges are fundamentally important in dielectric barrier discharges [1,2] and plasma jets. Our aim is to study charge distributions on dielectric surfaces such as glass, polymers, and ceramics due to exposure to nonthermal atmospheric-pressure plasma. We explore how these charges are distributed in the outer regions of the discharge footprints. Apart from the distributions, residence times are of interest. Charges can be deposited by means of a helium plasma jet or via corona discharge in air. To study the feature sizes, scanning probe microscopy approaches are employed, i.e. electrostatic and Kelvin probe force microscopy (EFM and KPFM). Sensitivity of both methods needs to be assessed on ordinary reference samples such as interdigitated electrode systems and oxides.
