摘要:
The invention concerns a plasma CVD system (in particular a plasma pulse CVD system) with an array of microwave plasma electrodes (2a, b, c, d). According to the invention, in order to improve the homogeneity of the layer, interference is prevented by controlling adjacent plasma electrodes (2a, 2b; 2b, 2c; 2c, 2d) in a chronologically offset manner. To that end, micropulses (A, B) are provided within the macropulses of the plasma pulse CVD process. Additionally, the uniformity of the layer deposition at the interfaces between adjacent modules can be optimized by radio-frequency excitation by means of suitable electrodes (6, 62a-c), magnetic fields or the configuration of the gas inlets (5). The surface coated in an operating cycle can thus be scaled as required.
