ABSTRACT:
A vacuum treatment chamber has a sputtering electrode and a counter electrode together defining a plasma discharge area. The counter electrode has an electrode surface area which is not visible from the sputtering electrode. A third electrode, together with the non-visible surface area, defines an auxiliary plasma discharge space. A substantially unencumbered propagative electron path is established between the discharge spaces. A plasma discharge is generated between the sputtering electrode and the counter electrode within a vacuum chamber.
