Depending on the operating conditions, different regimes can be obtained in a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD): filamentary, diffuse (also called homogeneous) or self-organized. For a plane-to-plane DBD operated at high frequency (160 kHz) and at atmospheric pressure in helium gas, we show that the addition of a small amount of nitrogen induces a transition from the diffuse regime to a self-organized regime characterized by the appearance of filaments at the exit of the discharge. In this paper, we detail mechanisms that could be responsible of the transition from diffuse mode to this self-organized mode. We point out the critical role of the power supply and the importance of the gas memory effect from one discharge to the following one on the transition to the self-organised mode. The self-organized mode is usually attributed to a surface memory effect. In this work, we show an additional involvement of the gas memory effect on the self-organized mode.
