Abstract:
A method for producing substrates charged with materials, in whicha) at least one substrate is introduced into an evacuated vacuum container; b) the surface of the substrate to be charged is exposed to a reactive gas which is adsorbed on the surface; c) the exposure of the surface to the reactive gas is terminated, d) the reactive gas adsorbed on the surface is allowed to react, and wherein d1) the surface with the adsorbed reactive gas is exposed to a low-energy plasma discharge with ion energy EI0 on the surface of the substrate of 0I0&lE;20 eV â€ƒand an electron energy Eeo of 0 eVeo&lE;100 eV; d2) the adsorbed reactive gas is allowed to react at least with the cooperation of plasma-generated ions and electrons.
