Zusammenfassung:A novel high speed, high quality plasma enhanced surface modification or CVD thin film deposition method and apparatus. The invention employs both microwave (5) and e beam energy (6) for creation of a plasma of excited species which modify the surface of substrates (2) or are deposited onto substrates to form the desired thin film. The invention also employs a gas jet system (3) to introduce the reacting species to the plasma. This gas jet system (3) allows for higher deposition speed than conventional PECVD processes while maintaining the desired high quality of the deposited materials.
