Abstract

A method of depositing a thin film on a polymer substrate by plasma CVD comprises applying a magnetic field to a plasma generating chamber by activating a magnetic coil placed in the circumference of the plasma generating chamber, the plasma generating chamber having an inlet; introducing a microwave into the plasma generating chamber; introducing an upstream gas into the plasma generating chamber wherein an ECR plasma is generated; vaporizing a feed gas wherein a supply gas is generated and carries the ECR plasma; passing said ECR plasma through a mesh provided between the inlet and a polymer substrate located downstream of the inlet; and depositing a film on the surface of the polymer substrate.
