Abstract
Coating the inner wall areas of tokamaks and stellarators with lithium, beryllium, boron or silicon has often led to very high plasma performance and high confinement modes of operation. The wall coating processes are reviewed with emphasis on plasma-surface-interaction mechanisms related to high performance operation.Keywords
