Abstract: An RF plasma reactor is provided for depositing semi-conductive layers on to very large glass areas. The RF plasma reactor includes a vacuum chamber, a reactor chamber, RF power supply, a matching network, first and second metallic plates located inside the vacuum chamber and a plasma-discharge region defined between the first and second metallic plates. The RF plasma reactor further includes a feed line and an impedance-transformation circuit both of which are electrically connected to the first metallic plate. The impedance-transformation circuit further includes a blocking-tuneable capacitor that transforms an impedance of the reactor.
