A method for treating an article with a plasma jet is disclosed. The method involves rotating an article (30) with a surface (32) to be treated about an axis (Ha), wherein the rotation defines a rotation radius extending from the axis. The article surface is contacted with the plasma jet (10) to form a plasma jet footprint (11) having a predetermined dimension on the article surface. The plasma jet footprint is moved along the rotation radius in the radial direction according to a velocity profile along the rotation radius so as to apply heat to the article surface to obtain a desired temperature distribution profile on the article surface along the rotation radius. The method provides a means for controlling the temperature of the article uniformly in a temperature range from about 30° C. and 1200° C. to allow different treatment applications to be performed on the article. The control of article temperature as described allows for uniform treatment processes, such as polymer ablation, etching, deposition and thermal treatment, of the article material itself by injecting different gasses into the plasma jet.
