Abstract

Method for producing a substrate includes establishing a plasma discharge with a locally inhomogeneous density distribution and exposing the substrate to the inhomogeneously density-distributed plasma discharge. The distribution is established by establishing a specified relative movement of the inhomogeneous density distribution and of the substrate and establishing a specified time variation of an electric power signal supplying the discharge and/or of an optionally provided further electric signal which connects the substrate to bias voltage. When the electric power signal or further electric signal is an AC signal, the specified time variation of the signal addresses its modulation and the method includes setting the variation and the movement.
