Abstract:
Disclosed is a plasma generating apparatus, for manufacturing devices having patterned layers, including a first electrode assembly and a second electrode assembly placed in a plasma reactor chamber, an electrical power supply for generating a voltage difference between the first electrode assembly and the second electrode assembly. The first electrode assembly includes a plurality of protrusions and a plurality of recesses, the protrusions and recesses being dimensioned and set at respective distances from the surface of the substrate so as to generate a plurality of spatially isolated plasma zones located selectively either between the second electrode assembly and the plurality of recesses or between the second electrode assembly and the plurality of protrusions.

Claim (Index 19):
Plasma generating apparatus for manufacturing patterned devices comprising:\n a) a plasma reactor chamber; b) a gas feed assembly for introducing an input gas into the plasma reactor chamber at a chosen pressure (P); c) a first electrode assembly ( 1 ) and a second electrode assembly ( 2 ) placed in the plasma reactor chamber, the first electrode assembly ( 1 ) being spaced apart from the second electrode assembly ( 2 ) by an inter-electrode volume, and d) an electrical power supply ( 6 ) for generating a voltage difference between the first electrode assembly ( 1 ) and the second electrode assembly ( 2 ); wherein: e) the first electrode assembly ( 1 ) comprises a plurality of protrusions ( 11 ) and a plurality of recesses ( 12 ,  13 ,  14 ,  15 ,  16 ,  17 ,  18 ), f) the second electrode assembly ( 2 ) is configured for receiving a substrate ( 5 ) having a surface ( 51 ) facing the plurality of protrusions ( 11 ) and the plurality of recesses ( 12 ,  13 ,  14 ,  15 ,  16 ,  17 ,  18 ); g) the protrusions ( 11 ) and the recesses ( 12 ,  13 ,  14 ,  15 ,  16 ,  17 ,  18 ) being dimensioned and set at respective distances (D 1 , D 2 ) from the surface ( 51 ) of the substrate ( 5 ) so as to generate a plurality of spatially isolated plasma zones ( 21 ,  22 ) located selectively either between said surface of the substrate ( 5 ) and said plurality of recesses ( 12 ,  13 ,  14 ,  15 ,  16 ,  17 ,  18 ) or between said surface of the substrate ( 5 ) and said plurality of protrusions ( 11 ) at the chosen pressure (P) of the input gas.
