Abstract

One or more substrates (106) may be coiled into one or more coils in such a way that adjacent turns of the coils do not touch one another. The one or more coiled substrates (106) are placed in a treatment chamber (102) where substantially an entire surface of the one or more coiled substrates (106) may be treated with a surface treatment process. One or more spacers (116) may be placed between adjacent layers of the coiled substrate (106) before a full turn of the substrate (106) has been coiled around the carousel (104).
