Abstract
The diagnostics of plasmas used for deposition of thin layers and for the modification of surfaces are summarised. First the various processes are discussed : plasma production, the fragmentation of injected monomers, the transport of radicals, the processes at the surface and the desorption of new monomers in wall association. AU these processes have characteristic time constants, short for the plasma processes and long for processes, which involve wall interactions and recirculation in the deposition chamber. Several typical results are given, which elucidate the processes and the applicability of diagnostics.
