The dynamics of the ozone formation in an oxygen-fed micro-discharge was studied by observing the dispersed emission from the reacting species. The correlation between the ozone production with the physical factors of a micro-discharge was described by a mathematical model where the distribution of the mean electronic energy is considered. The results showed that the oxygen atom is mostly produced from the oxygen molecule dissociating from the Schumann-Runge band, instead of being produced by direct electron bombardment. This is the reason why pressure has a negative effect role in ozone formation.
