Abstract

A method for depositing a substance, such as diamond, by plasma deposition on a substrate mounted over a madrel cooled by a heat exchange, comprising the steps of: determining the heat flux at the deposition surface of the substrate; providing, between said mandrel and said substrate, a spacer having a thermal conductance in its thickness direction that varies in accordance with said determined heat flux; and depositing said substance on said substrate by said plasma deposition.
