Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus for performing a plasma chemical vapor deposition process. The apparatus comprises a mainly cylindrical resonator being provided with an outer cylindrical wall enclosing a resonant cavity having a substantially rotational symmetric shape with respect to a cylindrical axis. The resonator further includes side wall portions bounding the resonant cavity in opposite cylindrical axis directions. In addition, the apparatus comprises a microwave guide extending through the outer cylindrical wall into the resonant cavity. The length of the resonant cavity in the cylindrical direction varies as a function of the radial distance to the cylindrical axis.
