Abstract: The invention relates to a coating for temperable substrates, in particular of glass panes. This coating comprises for example directly on the substrate an Si3N4 layer, thereon a CrN layer, thereon a TiO2 layer and lastly an Si3N4 layer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a glass coating and a method for the production of this glass coating. The glass coating comprises a first layer of ZnO and a second layer of Ag disposed thereon. Before the Ag layer is applied onto the ZnO layer, the latter is irradiated with ions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a target material for the production of a protective layer for a solar control and absorption layer by means of sputtering. This target material is comprised of silicon doped with titanium. The protective layer, which can be produced with the target material, is heatable without significant changes of its properties. It is therefore also suitable for coating lass, which is heated and subsequently bent.

Abstract: A coating for a synthetic material substrate having at least one layer of a material, in which the absorption of light in the visible range is negligible, wherein the synthetic material substrate is a three-dimensional hollow body and the layer of the material has a thickness a wherein 0.5 a<a<b applies and b is the thickness of a layer of the same material at which the transmission of white light is 0.1% to 0.2%, wherein the coating provides a barrier against gases or vapors.

Abstract: A sputtering electrode is switched between two power values at a constant reactive gas flow rate which is selected so that the target of the sputtering electrode is in the metallic mode at the first power value while in the oxide mode at a second power value.

Abstract: A thermally insulating coating system for curved and/or hardened glass panes includes at least one layer of noble metal enclosed by a lower and an upper blocker layer. An underoxidic NiCrOx layer with a thickness between one Å and two nm is embedded into the noble-metal layer. The advantage is that the optical qualities of the coating system are not influenced by the tempering and curving of the glass pane.

Abstract: Power supply lines (41, 42) connect poles of an alternating current power source (43) to respective cathodes (58, 59) in compartments (32, 39), included among a plurality of adjacent compartments (32-39′), which together form a vacuum chamber (31) and which are connected to each other by a passageway (60). The two compartments (32, 39) with the cathodes (58, 59) are separated from each other by intermediate compartments (32′-38′), at least some of which are equipped with additional sputter cathodes (61-66).

Abstract: A system of layers applied to a transparent substrate includes a first layer of an oxide such as ZnO or SnO.sub.2, a second layer of a substoichiometric oxide of Zn or Ta, a third layer of Ag or Cu, a fourth layer of a substoichiometric oxide of Ti, Cr, or Nb, and a fifth layer of similar composition as the first layer. The layers are preferably deposited by magnetron cathode sputtering in an atmosphere which consists of inert gas and, in the case of the oxide layers, a reactive gas.

Abstract: A coating, composed of an optically effective layer system for substrates, whereby the layer system has a high antireflective effect. On a front side of the substrate, facing the observer, in sequence from the front side to the observer, a first layer is arranged on the substrate, functioning as dielectric and comprising metal oxide. Thereupon follows a second layer comprising nitride, preferably TiN.sub.x (x is equal to or greater than 1, preferably x=1.05). A third layer follows functioning as dielectric and comprising metal oxide. Thereupon a fourth layer follows comprising nitride, preferably TiN.sub.x (x is equal to or greater than 1, preferably x=1.05). A fifth layer follows functioning as dielectric comprising metal oxide. On a backside of the substrate a TiN.sub.x -layer (x.gtoreq.1, preferably x=1.05) is arranged.
