A device for carrying out a plasma enhanced process includes, within a vacuum chamber, at least one magnetron electrode (32) constituting an unbalanced magnetron having a flat magnetron face (20) with peripheral and central magnetic poles of opposite polarities connected to a source (34) of alternating voltage. The device further includes a device for positioning a substrate (25), the substrate having a surface to be treated facing the magnetron face (20), and a gas supply device for supplying a process gas or process gas mixture to the space between the magnetron face (20) and the treated surface. The distance between the magnetron face (20) and the treated surface is adapted to the magnetic field created by the magnetron electrode (32) such that there is a visible plasma band running between darker tunnels formed by magnetic field lines extending between peripheral and central magnetic poles of the magnetron face (20) and the treated surface, the plasma band having a minimum width but having homogeneous brightness towards the treated surface.
