PLASMA GENERATION FOR THIN FILM DEPOSITION ON FLEXIBLE SUBSTRATES

摘要

A system for depositing a thin film on a flexible substrate comprises a plurality of processing zones spaced apart by an isolation zone, a plasma generator for generating a plasma region proximal to a pathway along which the substrate travels, and a substrate transport mechanism for guiding the substrate back and forth between the processing zones so that the substrate is transported past and exposed to the plasma region when the system is in use.
