Abstract

A method for producing a disk shaped workpiece with a dielectric substrate includes treatment in a plasma process volume between two electrode faces bounding a high-frequency plasma discharge. One electrode face is of dielectric material and is at a high-frequency potential with a varying distribution along the face. The other electrode face is metallic. Reactive gas is introduced into the process volume through an aperture pattern. The dielectric substrate, before treatment, is at least regionally coated with a layer material to whose specific resistance applies: 10−5 Ωcm≦≦10−1 Ωcm, and to the resulting surface resistance RS of the layer applies: 0<RS≦104 Ω. Subsequently, the coated substrate is positioned on the metallic electrode face and is etched or coated reactively under plasma enhancement in the plasma process volume.
