Abstract
This paper summarizes present knowledge of the creation of thin films in isotropic and magnetoactive plasma. It analyses conditions under which films in the microwave plasma can be created and shows how the growth rate and properties of films depend on microparameters of plasma. On the basis of plasma floating potential measurements it is shown why the creation of thin films in microwave discharges takes place at high electron plasma densities (N ≳ 1012 cm−3) only. Besides this it describes properties of created films, underlies negative role of fast electrons in forming of good quality films and gives recommendation how to avoid their generation. Considerable attention is devoted also to a comparison of films creation in pulse and continuous plasma. At the end possibility of films creation at low temperatures by a deposition technique utilizing a microwave excitation of molecular gases is given.
