Abstract: Method of depositing an atomic layer on a substrate. The method comprises supplying a precursor gas from a precursor-gas supply of a deposition head that may be part of a rotatable drum. The precursor gas is provided from the precursor-gas supply towards the substrate. The method further comprises moving the precursor-gas supply by rotating the deposition head along the substrate which in its turn is moved along the rotating drum.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treating a metal oxide layer deposited on a substrate. The method comprises the step of applying a substantially atmospheric plasma process at a relatively low temperature. Preferably, the temperature during the plasma process is lower than approximately 180° C. Further, the atmospheric plasma process can be applied in a plasma chamber comprising H2 gas and He gas.
