摘要:
A process is described for modification of a surface of a substrate by ion bombardment, in which the ions are produced by means of a magnetic field-assisted glow discharge in a process gas. The magnetic field-assisted glow discharge is produced by means of a magnetron having an electrode and at least one magnet for production of the magnetic field. The process gas has at least one electronegative constituent, such that negative ions are produced in the magnetic field-assisted glow discharge, and the negative ions which are produced at the surface of the electrode are accelerated in the direction of the substrate by an electrical voltage applied to the electrode.
摘要:
A low-e insulating glass unit has a suspended, coated IR reflecting polymer sheet under tension, e.g. from heat shrinkage. The polymer sheet is coated with a multilayer stack of dielectric and metallic layers, including at least one silver layer deposited upon a zinc oxide seed layer that is at most 15 nm thickness. The use of zinc oxide ensures good seeding for high quality silver layer growth, thereby providing low emissivity. The thinness of the zinc oxide ensures that it resists cracking when the polymer sheet is tensioned.
