  • Coatings, and methods and devices for the manufacture thereof
    Patent number: 8230807
    Abstract: The present invention describes a method for manufacturing a low dielectric constant coating, which coating comprises an inorganic and an organic component, wherein precursors for these components are activated in at least two plasma sources for plasma activated deposition of a chemical vapor phase and wherein said activated precursors are combined before they are deposited from the chemical vapor phase on the substrate to form the coating, characterized in that said inorganic component comprises porous nanoparticles. The invention also describes a device for the manufacture of a low dielectric constant coating.

  • Process for Preparing a Metal Film on a Substrate
    Publication number: 20090041930
    Abstract: The invention provides a process for preparing a metal film on a substrate for use in a solar cell, comprising the steps of: (a) depositing a film of a metal oxide on a substrate by means of a gas phase deposition process, which metal is selected from the group consisting of Mo, V, W, Pd, Ta, Nb and Cr; and (b) reducing the metal oxide on the substrate into the corresponding metal by contacting the film of the metal oxide with a reducing gas at a temperature in the range of from 300 to 1500° C. The invention further provides a substrate onto which a metal film is applied, which metal film is obtainable by the process according to the invention, and a solar cell comprising such a substrate.
