摘要:
Electron-beam (EB) coating of broad strips with improved film quality, and without undue scattering and deflection of the electron beam at long beam paths is accomplished with a shielding mantle, placed between the EB gun and the evaporation crucible, providing vacuum-tight shielding of the beam path from the coating chamber.

A method is disclosed for fluidizing and vaporizing particulate solid coating reactants by establishing a fluidized bed of dispersed particulate solid coating reactants, drawing a volume of fluidizing gas and suspended particulate solid coating reactant into a vaporizer while mixing an additional volume of gas therewith, and vaporizing the dispersed particulate solid coating reactant in the reactant gas mixture. The vaporized coating reactant may then be directed into contact with a substrate to be coated in order to deposit a film thereon.

A vaporizer for vacuum deposition installations has at least one crucible and a plurality of crucible-receiving recesses movable into a vaporizing position, a vapor-conducting device and a shutter for interrupting the flow of vapor. The vaporizer is capable of enabling a plurality of different substances to be vaporized in succession without mutual contamination by providing the vapor-conducting device wherein the device has a plurality of vapor screens which can be individually set down at the edges of the crucible-receiving recesses by relative movement between the vapor-conducting device and the crucible. The shutters have a plurality of lobes which can be individually moved over the particular vapor screen located in the vaporizing position. The drives associated with the vapor-conducting device and shutter are interconnected such that the same vapor screen and the same shutter lobe are always associated with a particular crucible-receiving recess.
摘要:
A crystal plating device and method thereof in which a crystal to be plated and thereby set at a desired frequency is placed in an external removable holder or slug for insertion into a chamber of a plating device. The device is connected to a vacuum pump which is activated after the slug is loaded. Spring loaded filament posts carry a filament of precious metal such as gold or silver. The crystal is oscillated at a predetermined frequency prior to the filament being energized to evaporate or atomize the metal which plates the crystal and sets it frequency identical to that of the oscillator.The slug is externally loaded and can carry different size crystals. It is fitted with masks to accurately direct the deposit of the metal upon either or both sides of the crystal. After plating the slug is easily removed from the plating device.
摘要:
A method and device for depositing through vacuum evaporation. In a first step of said method, and in order to deposit a material on the substrates, the latter is placed in a vacuum enclosure opposite a target of the said material then the target is bombarded by means of an electron-beam; in the subsequent steps, the said beam is modulated and a screen opaque to X-rays is moved between the target and the substrate in synchronism with said modulation, in such manner that said screen be permanently placed between said substrates and the target impact area, and that said substrates be directly seen only from those areas of the target that have just been bombarded.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for coating a substrate with a thin film of material. The coating material is converted to a mist by means of an ultrasonic nebulizer and transported by a carrier gas to a chamber which contains the substrate where the mist is allowed to settle onto the substrate under the force of gravity. Sonic means are also provided to increase the settling rate of the mist droplets to lessen the settling time. Means are also provided to maintain the volume and concentration of the coating material in the nebulizer chamber over successive coatings.

A method of producing compounds which comprises the steps of separately vaporizing a plurality of substances containing the component elements of a desired compound and placed in a plurality of crucibles to form vapors of the substances, mixing the vapors in a heated mixing chamber to form a mixed vapor, jetting the mixed vapor into a vacuum region to form clusters, ionizing the clusters to form cluster ions, and accelerating the cluster ions to make them impinge on a substrate.An apparatus for producing compounds which comprises a plurality of crucibles for separately vaporizing substances containing the component elements of a desired compound to form vapors of the substances, a mixing chamber for heating and mixing the vapors introduced therein to form a mixed vapor, the mixing chamber having at least one injection hole for jetting the mixed vapor into a vacuum region, communication pipes for connecting the mixing chamber to the crucibles, an ionization chamber for ionizing clusters produced from the mixed vapor jetted from the mixing chamber, means for accelerating cluster ions produced in the ionization chamber and making them impinge on a substrate, and a substrate holder for holding the substrate.
摘要:
An apparatus for applying coatings to very small objects which includes levitating the objects in an environment established for vapor deposition or sputtering in such a way that a uniform coating can be applied. The design includes a permanent magnet and a retaining diaphragm together with a variable frequency oscillator and amplifier to achieve vibrations of the diaphragm during the coating operation in such magnitude as to keep the selected particles suspended above the diaphragm to expose the entire surface to the coating being applied.

This invention pertains to apparatus for coating vitreous surfaces, advantageously precoated with a metal oxide, including a continuous treating chamber exposing the vitreous surfaces to the chemically unchanged vapor of a coating composition, particularly fatty acids, and also including heaters, vaporizers and fans in a special type of hooded enclosure for continuous recirculation of the coating composition to accomplish the method.
摘要:
An apparatus for depositing thin coatings by vaporization onto substrates under the simultaneous action of an ionized gas comprises a gas chamber which is subdivided into first and second compartments which are connected to each other through a gas flow restrictor. The first compartment has a gas discharge electrode and has a connection to a supply line for the gas to be ionized. The second compartment contains a counterelectrode, an evaporator and means for holding the objects to be coated and is also connected to a pump to maintain a pressured gradient between the two compartments during vaporization.
