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 20):
Plasma generating apparatus according to  claim 19  wherein the recesses ( 12 ) are dimensioned and placed at a second distance (D 2 ) from the surface ( 51 ) of the substrate ( 5 ) such that for the applied voltage difference V(t), a product of the chosen pressure and the second distance is comprised between a first plasma ignition threshold (T 1 ) and a second plasma extinction threshold (T 2 ) and wherein the protrusions ( 11 ) are dimensioned and placed at a first distance (D 1 ) from the surface ( 51 ) of the substrate ( 5 ) such that for the applied voltage difference V(t), another product of the chosen pressure (P) and the first distance (D 1 ) is lower than the first plasma ignition threshold (T 1 ), so that the plasma generating apparatus generates spatially isolated plasma zones ( 22 ) between the surface of the substrate ( 5 ) and the recesses ( 12 ) without generating plasma locally between the surface of the substrate ( 5 ) and the protrusions ( 11 ).
