The deposition of fluorocarbon films from GDBDs fed with helium–hexafluoropropene (He‐C 3 F 6 ) and helium–octafluoropropane–hydrogen (He‐C 3 F 8 ‐H 2 ) mixtures was investigated. The effect of several parameters was evaluated in order to clarify both the GDBD existence domain and film characteristics. He‐C 3 F 6 GDBDs allowed to obtain films with an F/C ratio of 1.5 and to achieve deposition rates up to 35 nm · min −1 . By changing the H 2 content in He‐C 3 F 8 ‐H 2 fed GDBDs, it was possible to vary the crosslinking degree to tune the F/C ratio of the coatings and to change the deposition rate which was maximized for an H 2 /C 3 F 8 ratio close to 1. A spectroscopic investigation of the plasma phase is also presented.
