Abstract
For long time, organ silicon thin films have a great interest in many applications that are based on the surface modification. Recently more attention has been focused to the use of organ silicon thin films with embedded metallic Nano-sized particles as biocide films. In this study, ZnO Nanoparticles have been deposited with organic films by plasma discharge in order to elaborate biocide thin films. Tow deposited methods have been combined in order to elaborate biocide films. Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The plasma discharge used is generated by a AC power source with frequency of about 19 kHz using HMDSO as plasma gas and ZnO powder. Bacillus bacteria in Muller Hinton environment has been used in order to exhibit the biocide properties of deposited films. It has been observed that almost all species are eliminated.
