Abstract

A system for treating an object with plasma includes a vacuum processing chamber having a holder on which the object to be treated is placed, at least two subassemblies each including at least one plasma source able to generate a plasma and being supplied with radio-frequency power Pi and with a gas i of independent flow rate ni. The plasma generated by one of the subassemblies is a partially ionized gas or gas mixture of different chemical nature from the plasma generated by the other subassembly or subassemblies. A process for selectively treating a composite object employing such a device is described.
