摘要:
A gas supply device for delivering precursors with a low vapor pressure to CVD coating systems. The gas supply device has a supply container for the precursor which is at a first temperature T1, an intermediate storage device for intermediately storing the vaporous precursor at a second temperature T2 and at a constant pressure p2, a first gas line between the supply container and the intermediate storage device and a second gas line for removing gas from the intermediate storage device. The gas supply device is developed in such a way that the first temperature T1 is higher than the second temperature T2. The lower temperature T2 of the intermediate storage device facilitates maintenance work on the same, while the precursor evaporates at a greater rate at the higher temperature T1 in the supply container. A first precursor vapor may be mixed with a gas and/or a second precursor vapor in the intermediate storage device. The partial pressure of the first precursor vapor is lower than that of the undiluted first precursor vapor at a constant overall pressure in the intermediate storage device, so that the temperature T2 of the intermediate storage device and the successive lines can be reduced.
摘要:
A method for producing optical functional coatings comprising niobium, tantalum, titanium or aluminum by supplying a precursor gas of low vapor pressure in a CVD coating system. A precursor selected from the group consisting of Nb, Ta, Ti, and Al compounds having a vapor pressure is maintained within a first supply container at a first temperature T1 and a first pressure p1. Precursor vapor of the precursor is supplied from the first supply container to an intermediate storage device through a first gas line which fluidly communicates the first supply container and the intermediate storage device. A carrier gas or reaction gas is supplied to the first gas line such that a mixture of the precursor with the carrier gas or the reaction gas is provided. The mixture is maintained in the intermediate storage device at a constant second pressure p2 lower than the first pressure p1 and at a second temperature T2 lower than the first temperature T1, and the mixture is supplied from the intermediate storage device through a second gas line.
摘要:
A scratchproof, temperature-stable protective layer, in particular a scratch-resistant protective layer for cooking hobs is provided. In addition, processes and an apparatus for producing these protective layers are provided. The protective layer includes at least one hard-material layer having a functional layer interrupted by very thin interlayers so that the functional layer has a morphologically dense columnar structure that grows substantially perpendicular to the body surface. The production of layers of this type is achieved by a magnetron sputtering process and a corresponding arrangement, with the tendency of the columnar structures to widen out being reduced by targeted interruption of the growth of the functional layers.

The invention concerns a plasma CVD system (in particular a plasma pulse CVD system) with an array of microwave antennas. According to the invention, in order to improve the homogeneity of the layer, interference is prevented by controlling adjacent antennas in a chronologically offset manner. To that end, microcapsules are provided within the macrocapsules of the plasma pulse CVD process. Additionally, the uniformity of the layer deposition at the interfaces between adjacent modules can be optimized by radio-frequency excitation by means of suitable electrodes, magnetic fields or the configuration of the gas inlets. The surface coated in an operating cycle can thus be scaled as required.

摘要:
In the case of CVD methods, comprising PECVD and PICVD methods, the aim of the invention is to improve the impurity-free and, as far as possible, temporally and quantitatively precise feeding of process gases for the targeted layer systems. To this end, the invention provides a coating system and a method for coating articles with alternating layers, in the case of which process gases are introduced in an alternating fashion into a gas mixing point and mixed with a further gas and led to the reaction chamber, in which the deposition is carried out by producing a plasma.

The invention relates to layer systems having at least one layer comprising titanium aluminum oxide. The layer comprising titanium aluminum oxide may be either a functional layer—with or without interruption by an intermediate layer which is optically inactive—or a functional layer formed from a metal oxide which is interrupted by an intermediate layer comprising titanium aluminum oxide. The layer systems are structurally and thermally stable at operating temperatures of over 600° C. The layer systems may either comprise only one functional layer or may be a multilayer system, preferably an alternating layer system composed of functional layers with high and low refractive indices.

摘要:
A reactor for simultaneous coating of eyeglasses on both sides thereof. Two partial devices are provided, each with a microwave energy waveguide, a gas supply and an apparatus for evacuating the coating chamber where the first and second devices can be moved relative to each other to open and close the coating chamber. The coating chamber itself is removable from the device and includes two gas supply connections and two connections for evacuating the coating chamber as well as microwave windows for coupling in microwave energy.
