1. A dielectric barrier discharge plasma generator, the plasma generator comprising:
a ground electrode that forms a casing, and a high voltage electrode enclosed within the casing, the ground electrode and the high voltage electrode being configured to form a circuit to receive a power input for plasma generation,
a dielectric barrier having a first surface in contact with the high voltage electrode, and a second surface facing the ground electrode, a discharge gap being formed between the second surface of the dielectric barrier and the ground electrode for generating plasma,
a resiliently deformable mechanism operative to bias the high voltage electrode against the first surface of the dielectric barrier, and
a plasma outlet on the casing formed by the ground electrode, the plasma outlet being operative to discharge plasma onto an electronic component located outside the casing.
