Abstract

See full text

A process and apparatus for the plasma deposition of a carbon-rich coating onto a substrate is provided. This method includes the steps of: providing a substrate in a vacuum chamber; and generating a carbon-rich plasma in the vacuum chamber by injecting a plasma gas into a hollow cathode slot system containing a cathode made of two electrode plates arranged parallel to each other, providing a sufficient voltage to create and maintain a carbon-rich plasma in the hollow cathode slot system, and maintaining a vacuum in the vacuum chamber sufficient for maintaining the plasma. The plasma is deposited on the substrate to form a carbon-rich coating.
