Method for passivating at least a part of a substrate surface

A method for passivating at least a part of a surface of a semiconductor substrate, wherein at least one layer comprising at least one a-Si:H passivation layer is realized on said part of the substrate surface by: - generating a plasma (P) by means of at least one plasma source (3) mounted on the process chamber (5) at a distance (L) from the substrate surface, at least part of the plasma (P) being injected into the chamber (5) and achieving a supersonic speed; - contacting at least a part of the plasma (P), injected into the chamber (5), with the said part of the substrate surface; and - supplying at least one precursor suitable for passivation layer realization to the said part of the plasma (P) via a plurality of injection nozzles (19) of an injector device (17), such that the density of the precursor at each injection nozzle (19) is lower than 12x1022 particles/m3
