摘要:
The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for regulating the layer thickness of a coating material on a web moved in its longitudinal direction. The thickness of the layer is measured at several sites over the width of the web and a coating installation is regulated, such that the thickness of the layer is constant over the width of the web. The thickness regulation can be attained by means of intensity variations of electron beams, which vaporize a coating material. But it is also possible that several evaporator crucibles distributed over the width of the web are heated individually, such that a uniform coating results over the width of the web. With the aid of an additional transmission measuring instrument the composition of the coating material can also be regulated, such that it is constant over the width of the web.

A Fabry-Perot filter is applied as a thin coating on a film, for example, a packaging film, and permits interesting color effects. The coating has a layered construction in which both reflecting layers of the filter may be made of aluminum and the intermediate layer between the reflecting layers may be made of aluminum oxide.

A pure metal is vaporized in a receiver, and a quantity of oxygen slightly substoichiometric for the oxide is introduced. To determine the thickness of the layer deposited on the film and to control the vaporization rate, optical sensors are installed in an area where the layer, because of the presence of unoxidized metal, has sufficient absorption for optical measurement. After the determination of the transparency by the sensors, the layer is subjected to a secondary oxidation process.

The invention relates to a vacuum coating installation comprising a container (9) in which is disposed the material (10) to be vaporized, for example SiO. The vaporization of the material (10) herein takes place by means of an electron beam gun (11) or by means of a vaporization oven. Opposing the surface of the material to be vaporized (10) is provided a synthetic film (5) to be coated which is transported further by means of a transport arrangement (4, 6, 22 to 27). Into the space between the material (10) to be vaporized and the material (5) to be coated a microwave is irradiated from an horn antenna (13).

A magnetron sputtering cathode for vacuum coating apparatus has a circular target plate and at least one magnet system disposed in back of it which forms at least one endless tunnel of magnetic lines of force over the target plate. In the marginal area of the target plate there is disposed a first magnet system for the production of a first magnetic tunnel substantially concentric with the axis of rotation, and between the axis of rotation and the first magnet system there is an off-center second magnet system which produces a second magnetic tunnel extending over only a sector of the target plate. When the two magnet systems are rotated together the elements of the surface of the target plate are exposed to the product of the time of stay times the intensity such that the target plate is ablated more uniformly in the middle area and more strongly at the margin, so that a substrate field placed opposite the target plate is uniformly coated.

This invention relates to a source material for vapor deposition, which is useful for forming a magnesium oxide thin film by vacuum vapor deposition process, and to a method of forming a transparent barrier film by using the magnesium oxide source material. The source material is composed of a magnesium oxide having a bulk density of 2.5 g/ml or more. This magnesium oxide can be obtained by sintering or fusing magnesium oxide material. For producing a transparent barrier film having a gas barrier property, this magnesium oxide is vapor-deposited on a surface of a transparent plastic base film by means of vacuum vapor deposition. The volume shrinkage or cracking of the evaporation source material can be avoided, thereby stabilizing the evaporation and prolonging duration of the evaporation. Further, it is possible to utilize a high power of electron beam. Since the evaporation source material is substantially free from pore, the evacuation of gas from the evaporation apparatus can be finished within a short period of time, and the vacuum degree within the evaporation apparatus can be stabilized. Since there is no splash or scattering during the evaporation., a transparent barrier film which is uniform in thickness and free from pinhole can be obtained.

A crucible (4) in a vacuum chamber (3) holds material to be evaporated, such as a metal or metal oxide or a mixture of a metal and a metal oxide, and a coating roll (6) guides a film web (8) a certain distance away from the material to be evaporated. A chamber (9, 10) is provided on each side of the coating roll (6) which carries the film web (8) past the crucible (4), a magnetron cathode (11, 12) connected to a medium-frequency source (19) being provided in each chamber. Each of the two chambers (9, 10) is connected by its own channel (13, 14) to a coating zone (20) directly between the coating roll (6) and the crucible (4), and each chamber (9, 10) is connected by a pressure line (21, 22) to a source (23, 24) of process gas.

The invention relates to a method for the aftertreatment of an oxide coating, and specifically an SiO.sub.x coating on a synthetic film. In this aftertreatment the oxide coating is exposed to a plasma whose particles effect positive changes of the oxide coating.
