摘要:
A semiconductor protection tube is a ceramic tube with a layer of silicon carbide covering at least a portion of the tube adjacent an open front end of the tube and extending forward of the open end to form a hollow, closed-end tip. The protection tube is formed by providing the ceramic tube, inserting a mandrel through the tube to extend forward of the front end, and depositing silicon carbide by chemical vapor deposition over at least a front portion of the ceramic tube and over the forward-extending portion of the mandrel. Subsequent removal of the mandrel completes the production of the protection tube.

Periodic pulsing of the gaseous reactant flows during chemical vapor deposition of gradient index optical material markedly improves the refractive index homogeneity of the deposit with the frequency of the pulsing being variable over a wide range but the number and size of the inhomogeneities, or nodules, being significantly reduced at higher pulsing frequencies.

A method of forming a light weight, closed-back mirror. The mirror is formed as a monolithic construction by the use of chemical vapor deposition techniques. A first deposition forms sheets of the material, which are machined to the proper size to form reinforcing ribs. A sacrificial mandrel is formed with grooves to receive the ribs in their assembled positions. The upper surface of the mandrel is in proximity to the rear edges of the ribs to form a substantially continuous surface. The mandrel and ribs are then subjected to a chemical vapor deposition process which forms a first coating upon the outer face of the mandrel, forming a back plate and side wall. The mandrel is then turned over, and the base is removed by machining to expose the front edges of the ribs. This process leaves islands of mandrel material between the ribs to form a substantially continuous surface. The mandrel and ribs are then subjected to a chemical vapor deposition process. This forms a second coating upon the lower surface of the mandrel, used as the mirror face. To reduce weight, holes are drilled through the back plate, and the remaining, encapsulated, mandrel material is removed by oxidation.

The surface of a zinc selenide substrate is ground to curve in the opposite direction from that which occurs due to the bimetallic effect when zinc sulfide is deposited on a flat substrate by the chemical vapor deposition process. The bowing of the interface that occurs upon cooling of the hot laminate when the surface of the substrate is flat before deposition is compensated for by the pre-figured bowing. A distortion free window for the transmission of infra-red radiation is provided by this invention.

摘要:
A process is disclosed by which the finish and figure of polished preshaped structures (such as mirrors) can be replicated directly by chemical vapor deposition, with only minor polishing of the replica being required to obtain a final product, and with the original substrate being reusable for further replication. Relevant conditions under which the process can be carried out are given. Featured in the process is a pretreatment step prior to the deposition of a layer of silicon carbide to form the replica, which pretreatment step involves the formation on the polished substrate of an oxide layer and a carbon layer of high finish and uniform thickness. The carbon layer allows easy separation of the substrate and replica which otherwise would be bound together.
