Description The atmospheric pressure glow discharge was used for the deposition of thin organosilicon polymer films. The discharge was burning in pure nitrogen used as a carrier gas with a small admixture of organosilicon compound (hexamethyldisiloxane HMDSO) which was used as a monomer. Thin films was deposited on the glass substrate. The temperature of the substrate was elevated up to 120 C to obtain harder thin films. Electrical measurements were used to distinguish between glow and filamentary regime. The surface atomic composition was measured by means of Xray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Mechanical properties of deposited films were characterised by depth sensing indentation technique. The films were transparent in visible range. The comparison with thin films deposited on the silicon substrate is provided.
