    Abstract: A vapor deposition apparatus is described. The vapor deposition apparatus includes a substrate support for supporting a substrate to be coated; a vapor source with a plurality of nozzles for directing vapor toward the substrate support through a vapor propagation volume; and a heatable shield extending from the vapor source toward the substrate support. The heatable shield surrounds the vapor propagation volume at least partially and includes an edge exclusion portion for masking areas of the substrate not to be coated. The substrate support may be a rotatable drum with a curved drum surface, and the vapor deposition apparatus may be configured to move the substrate on the curved drum surface past the vapor source in a circumferential direction.

    Abstract: An evaporation source for depositing an evaporated material on a substrate is described. The evaporation source includes an evaporation crucible for evaporating a material; a vapor distributor with a plurality of nozzles for directing the evaporated material toward the substrate; a vapor conduit extending in a conduit length direction (A) from the evaporation crucible to the vapor distributor and providing a fluid connection between the evaporation crucible and the vapor distributor, wherein at least one nozzle of the plurality of nozzles has a nozzle axis extending in, or essentially parallel to, the conduit length direction (A); and a baffle arrangement in the vapor conduit. Further described are a vapor deposition apparatus including such an evaporation source and methods of coating a substrate in a vacuum chamber.
