Abstract: A process chamber 1 for PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition) coating of a substrate 5a, 5b comprises an electrode 12a, 12b, which is integrated in a contact frame 11a, 11b, which is firmly connected to the recipient 2. A movable carrier 4a, 4b in the process chamber 1 carries at least one substrate 5a, 5b. The carrier is transported by means of a driven roller positioner 6a, 6b into the process chamber 1 or out of the process chamber 1 along a transport route defined by the movement. As soon as the carrier 4a, 4b inside the recipient has reached a certain position, the lower roller positioner 6a, 6b is uncoupled from carrier 4a, 4b by lowering by means of a lifting device 8a, 8b. In this regard, the carrier detaches itself from the upper roller positioner 7a, 7b. Then, the carrier is accepted by a transfer device (not shown) and brought from the transport position laterally into a treatment position in contact with the contact frame 11a, 11b. In this way, reliable contact is produced between the electrode 12a, 12b and a counter-electrode provided in carrier 4a, 4b. At the same time, other carriers 4a, 4b, in so far as the contact frame 11a, 11b is removed laterally far enough from the transport route, during the coating of the carrier 4a, 4b, can be moved past this.
