Abstract
A cold remote nitrogen plasma (CRNP) equipment is developed in order to improve adhesion quality of plastic surfaces. The volume of the reaction chamber is 160 litres. The concentration of atomic nitrogen, which is the main reactive species of the CRNP is homogeneous in the whole reactor and is about 8 x 10^16 atoms.cm-3. An uniform surface treatment of pieces with complex shapes is obtained. This process, tested in production by an electronic industry leads to an economic cost divided by 2.5 in comparison with chemical treatmentKeywords
