Abstract
Fundamental processes which control the plasma induced and assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition of thin films and the crystal growth are briefly summarized. References to the relevant papers are given in order to enable the reader to get access to the more detailed data. The Partial Chemical Equilibrium which occurs in intense discharges is discussed in connection with the problem of the space charge sheath. The most recent progress achieved in the understanding of the mechanism of plasma induced deposition of amorphous silicon is summarized.
