  • Thin film coating system and method
    Patent number: 8133361
    Abstract: A method and system for depositing a thin film on a substrate. In the system a target material is deposited and reacted on a substrate surface to form a substantially non-absorbing thin film. The volume of non-absorbing thin film formed per unit of time may be increased by increasing the area of the surface by a factor of “x” and increasing the rate of deposition of the target material by a factor greater than the inverse of the factor “x” to thereby increase the rate of formation of the volume of non-absorbing thin film per unit of time.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 27, 2008
    Date of Patent: March 13, 2012
    Assignee: Deposition Sciences, Inc.
