abstract = "This paper explores the microwave self-focusing effect in the low-power limit, and examines the feasibility of transistor-based microwave-drills and their new applications. A theoretical model of the locally induced thermal-runaway instability is employed in the power range of 10-100 W in order to find the minimal conditions for the hotspot evolution. The drillability factor is defined as a heuristic estimate for the minimal power needed to induce hotspots in specific materials. A practical transistor-based microwave-drill scheme is introduced for delicate operations. Variants of this device are proposed for other applications, like local melting, ignition, indentation, plasma generation, and material identification by microwave induced breakdown spectroscopy (MIBS).",
