Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008025352A2] The invention relates to an apparatus and a method of forming thin layers on substrate surfaces. It is an object of the invention to provide possibilities allowing thin layers to be produced on substrate surfaces, exhibiting a defined layered-material formation having desired properties. The apparatus of the invention is designed so that at a reaction chamber region, above a substrate surface to be coated, there is a supply for at least one gaseous precursor that contributes to layer formation. Moreover, a source emitting electromagnetic radiation, which is a plasma source, is disposed in such a way that the electromagnetic radiation emitted effects photolytic activation of atoms and/or molecules of the precursor(s). The plasma source ought to be so disposed, and is also to be operated in such a way, that there is no direct influence of the plasma on the substrate surface and on the precursors that lead to layer formation.
